The First one (Scott will like this) is Dragonforce with their new album Ultra Beatdown. It sounds like an Arcade Brawler from the 80's. I haven't heard any of the songs yet but here's the artwork and link to the wiki.
The second is Metallica!!! First studio album in 5 years. It sounds more like the old stuff so I can't wait. It's not St. Angeer type bullshit. Crappy name and art though. However the art is subject to change.Death Magnetic
