Today’s Readers Poll let’s you have your say on what 2013 album you’re anticipating the most. Are you a fan of the classic metal bands? If so, Black Sabbath ,  Judas Priest  and Slayer have been in the studio working on new music that’s expected to arrive this year. Are veteran grunge bands your thing? Then you might want to keep an eye out for new Alice in Chains and Pearl Jam records. Are you a Nikki Sixx fan? That’s good, because we’re expecting new music from both Motley Crue  and  Sixx: A.M.  this year. We also expect to see new albums coming from rock vets like Alter Bridge , Buckcherry , Hatebreed , Queens of the Stone Age , Tool ,  Avenged Sevenfold and Rob Zombie ! Fans are also likely anxious to check out passion projects like the second half of Stone Sour ‘s ‘House of Gold & Bones’ album or the upcoming debut from Disturbed singer David Draiman ‘s new industrial band, Device . And, of course, there’s early 2013 albums coming from  Black Veil Brides , Bullet for My Valentine and Hollywood Undead . So there you have it — just a few of the acts we anticipate hearing from in 2013. Let your voice be heard and tell us which band’s 2013 album excites you the most by voting in the poll below: Sorry, you need to have javascript running to see this poll.
