January

February
  • Paramore release their sixth studio album, This Is Why. Frontwoman Hayley Williams notes the album is more guitar-driven than their prior 2017 album, After Laughter. The album debuts at number 2 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, moving 64,000 album equivalent units. The album is the band's highest chart placement in a decade.[5][6][7]
  • Linkin Park release an previously unreleased song, "Lost", which was recorded over 20 years prior during the band's Meteora (2003) sessions. The song features vocals from Chester Bennington, who died in 2017, leaving the band relatively inactive since. The song find unexpected success on the charts, debuting a number 1 on the Billboard Rock & Alternative Airplay chart, and crossing over onto the US all-format Hot 100 chart at number 38. The song debuted at number 38 Billboard. This makes it just the fourth time that a song top the Rock & Alternative chart on its debut, and is their first top 40 single since 2012.[8][9][10]
  • Godsmack releases their sixth studio album, Lighting Up the Sky. The album was finished by mid-2022, but the band chose to focus on wrapping up touring for the rest of the year. Frontman Sully Erna states it may be the band's last album.[11][12][13]

March

April
  • Metallica is scheduled to release their eleventh stuidio album, 72 Seasons, in April. The title is an allusion to the first 18 years of ones life, with the band stating that the album is themed around the ideas developed in one's youth.[18]

  • Indie rock band Lovejoy released their third EP, Wake Up & It's Over, on 12 May 2023.[19]

Future releases
  • Foo Fighters are scheduled to release their eleventh studio album, But Here We Are, in June 2023. It will be the band's first without long-time drummer Taylor Hawkins, who died unexpectedly in March 2022. The album explore the bands feelings on processing his death.[20][21]
  • Blink-182 is scheduled to release their ninth studio album. Originally starting as bonus material for a deluxe release of their prior album, Nine (2019), it was later separated out as a separate release due to its differing sound and content. Initially scheduled release across 2020 and 2021, progress slowed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Mark Hoppus's cancer diagnosis, and drummer Travis Barker recording and touring two albums with Machine Gun Kelly. Hoppus's cancer diagnosis restarted communication with original guitarist Tom Delonge, who rejoined the band in October 2022, with the band announcing the new album and a world tour both being scheduled for 2023.[22][23]
  • Avenged Sevenfold is scheduled to release their eighth studio album. The album will be their first since 2016. Progress with the album has been repeatedly slowed down and delayed due to the band's desire to record some parts of the album with a 78 piece orchestra conflicting with the COVID-19 pandemic and its various restrictions.[24] It's now officially scheduled for release sometime in 2023.[25]
  • Sevendust is scheduled to release their fourteenth studio album. The band began demoing new material in mid-2022, with plans to enter the studio later that year.[26]
  • Mammoth WVH, the band of Eddie Van Halen's son Wolfgang Van Halen, is scheduled to release their second studio album. Work on the album began in September, and is expected to have a faster recording time than the original album, Mammoth WVG now that he's already figured out the band's vision and sound.[27]
  • Chevelle is scheduled to release their tenth studio album. The album was written across 2022, with plans to record by the end of the year and release it in 2023.[28]
  • Staind is scheduled to release their eighth studio album, their first new album in 12 years. Frontman Aaron Lewis, who spent much of the 2010s starting a country music career, expects the album to be a departure from his and the band's more mellow material, return to the band's "heavier" and "brutal" roots.[32][33][34]
  • Slipknot band members are scheduled to release an album. The album, Look Outside Your Window, was recorded by four of the band's member's in 2008 during the band's lengthy All Hope Is Gone sessions. It's not planned on being a traditional Slipknot album due to its more experimental and melodic rock sound.[35] It's scheduled to release later in 2023 once band members are scheduled to leave their current record label.[36]
