Todos nós conhecemos ao menos um chatão que fica proliferando em redes sociais a ideia de que “o rock/heavy metal morreu”. Felizmente, a música pesada contradiz os boquirrotos e está tão viva quanto sempre esteve, ainda que tenha deixado de contar com o apoio da grande mídia, a que atinge as massas.
A cada ano, é colossal o número de lançamentos. Pensa que é fácil para os veículos conseguirem acompanhar, resenhar ou até mesmo elaborar pautas em cima de tanto disco que é lançado semanalmente? Humanamente, é praticamente impossível estar atento e se dedicar a completamente tudo que é lançado. E que bom que a música pesada esteja tão ativa, que os lançamentos continuem acontecendo e, melhor ainda, que os shows e turnês estejam voltando à normalidade após o desgastante período de pandemia, não é mesmo?
Para você ter uma ideia de tanta coisa que é lançada ao mesmo tempo e até pensando em lhe ajudar a estar a par dos lançamentos, elaboramos essa lista com os discos que já estão confirmados para o primeiro semestre de 2023, bem como os que já estão disponibilizados no mercado. Confira:
