2024 New Music Releases

This year promised some heavy sounds, as Judas Priest, Ace Frehley, Bruce Dickinson and Mick Mars issuing new albums. Rare studio projects then followed from David Gilmour, Eric Clapton and MC5.

Judas Priest topped the early release schedule with Invincible Shield. There had actually been talk of leaving 2018's Firepower as the band's final album, but Rob Halford said excitement around the release ended up sparking new material. Meanwhile, The Mandrake Project found Iron Maiden's frontman returning to solo work after previously issuing Tyranny of Souls in 2005.

Frehley's 10,000 Volts was his first album of original material since 2018's Spaceman. The former Kiss star released the covers collection Origins Vol. 2 in 2020. Mars, the retired Motley Crue guitarist, finally unveiled his long-awaited debut album. He'd spent more than a decade working on Another Side of Mars.

Elsewhere, 2024 was set to bring new projects from Blackberry Smoke, Sheryl Crow, Green Day and Lenny Kravitz, among others. The Smile, a Radiohead offshoot band featuring Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood, issued two new studio albums. They followed 2022's A Light for Attracting Attention.

Also scheduled to arrive were key reissues from Paul McCartney and Wings, Queen, Peter Frampton and George Harrison, with intriguing live stuff from the Allman Brothers Band, Rolling Stones, Dire Straits, Rick Wakeman and the Babys.
