We've got a tradition of doing threads like this at Muusikoiden.net and then comparing these lists we post at the end of the year and see how our expectations were filled 
Of course you can't know all the albums that will come out next year, so we only compare albums we listed here and not all the releases.
Anyways, here it goes:

Anyways, here it goes:
- Arcana - Raspail (hopefully Peter can continue his strong line of albums)
Bloodbath - EP (can't wait for it, should be kickass)
Evergrey (long delayed, but what I've heard so far hints towards a more ISOT-like album)
Hanzel und Gretyl (hopefully they can work on a bunch more kickass songs in the style of Fikk Dich Mit Feuer)
Ice Ages - Buried Silence (after a long wait, should be incredible and dark!)
Judas Priest - Nostradamus (AOR (the irony..) was kickass and hopefully this album will provide more!)
Meshuggah - ObZen (back to DEI-like stuff I believe, and should prove fun to hear fast stuff once more)
Metallica (well, my expectations are very low, but let's see)
Opeth (hopefully it's a bit more like Still Life)
Rotten Sound - Cycles (I hope it's a bit more clearer soundwise than CTC - but it can only be kickass
)Scar Symmetry (ahh, the waiting gets on me!)
Stam1na (hopefully it's more like the debut album)
Testament - The Formation of Damnation (well, the new song sounds decent, but I hope there's better songs too)
The Amenta - n0n (the most awaited album, personally. Could be a new legendary classic album in the works!)
Relativity ¤ Vortech (All three albums available as CD!)
