I thought that Wraithkiller was 2021. If not, I need to edit my list!

Oh shoot your right it was late 2021 like Thee Final Chaptre

^Oh yeah, didn't TFC's album get released digitally in 2021 and on CD in 2022?

Kerrick wrote:^Oh yeah, didn't TFC's album get released digitally in 2021 and on CD in 2022?

You could be right, sorry i wasnt  picking on you I about went back to put it on my list too

Oh ha, no worries!  I have it in my collection tagged as 2022 but I have a faint memory that there was some gap between the digital and physical.  Can anyone confirm?

Your right.

Metal archives shows. Digital released Dec 24th 2021 and CD March 18th 2022

Aha, my memory isn't as bad as I thought! 

Ya know, that's pretty smart of them: now their album can be on peoples' lists for 2021 and 2022!

Thats true now I can include it even though I bought digital lol

I forgot The Brave.

Black Rider wrote:I forgot The Brave.

I wish I liked that album.

It's not as good as Evie's but I still enjoy it.

I loved Evie’s, but I only liked a couple or so off of Gravedigger.

From what I heard from the first Waymaker album (I'm getting this for Christmas), I'll likely get Key to Eternity.

I am looking forward to the new Les Carlsen, Angelic Forces, and the new Jimmy P. Brown EP.  I had hoped that the new Rose album would come out this year as well as Bride.  I know that Bride will release sometime next year.  After three years, I no longer expect to receive anything from Rose and will never back another crowd-funding project by Randy as he never completes his projects in the projected time.

I forgot about Iconic Second Skin that has Michael Sweet on vocals and guitar. 
Revised List:

Les Carlson He's Coming
John Elefante The Amazing Grace
Fear Not Fields of Sorrow
Flames of Fire
Iconic Second Skin
Reign of Glory All Will Bow
Saint Heaven Fell 
Seventh Servant Tree of Life
Stryper Final Battle 
Union of Sinners and Saints One More Shot

That makes 10 albums! I have bought/will buy more new albums released in 2022 than I did in some years in the 80s!
