Being the start of November, you may notice the list of debuts growing shorter as is wont to happen during the holiday season. Case in point, music for next year is started to get hyped up from the likes of Megadeth, Anthrax, and more. Of course, a short list of new material certainly doesn’t mean it’ll lack in heavy hitters as you can see on the list below. You can also check out Chris Colgan’s list as usual if you need further confirmation.
