This article summarizes the events related to rock music for the year of 2022.

## Notable events

### January

* Guitarist Nita Strauss and Disturbed frontman David Draiman's song "Dead Inside" tops the *Billboard* Mainstream Rock Songs chart. This makes Strauss the first female solo artist to top it in over 30 years, after Alannah Myles song "Black Velvet" in 1990.
* The topic of COVID-19 vaccinations creates a rift in rock music culture. On one end, musicians such as Neil Young and Joni Mitchell take their music off of music streaming service Spotify in protest of their hosting of Joe Rogan's podcast that has contained COVID-19 misinformation. Conversely, artists like Kid Rock releases songs with anti-vax messages.
* Singer-songwriter Gayle's song "ABCDEFU", described by UK's Official Charts Company and US's *Billboard* magazine as a pop punk song, is described as being the "biggest song in the world" after topping the Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. U.S. charts for multiple weeks.

### February

* UK alternative rock band Wolf Alice wins the Brit Award for British Group of the year at the 42nd Brit Awards.
* Pop rapper Doja Cat records a faithful cover version of Courtney Love's 1994 song "Celebrity Skin" for a Taco Bell commercial originally airing during the 2022 Super Bowl. The song is later released as a stand-alone single, and charts on multiple national rock music song charts, her first song to do so.
* Two rock song debut on the *Billboard* all-format Hot 100 chart, a rare feat for rock music in the 2020s. One is Machine Gun Kelly's song "Emo Girl", while the other is Red Hot Chili Peppers first single in five years, "Black Summer".
* Korn releases their fourteenth studio album, *Requiem*, a more melodic release, with an emphasis on layering guitars. The album is released to positive reviews, and is the second best-selling album of the week on the US *Billboard* Top Album Sales chart. However, factoring in streaming music data with album-equivalent units, it only debuts at number 14 on the US all-format *Billboard* 200 chart, making it their first album since their debut album in 1994 to not debut in the top 10.
* Canadian musician Avril Lavigne releases her seventh studio album *Love Sux*. The album, produced by John Feldmann, Mod Sun and Travis Barker, marks a return to her earlier pop punk sound. It debuts at number 9 on the *Billboard* 200, moving 30,000 album equivalent units, and is her first album since 2013 to debut in the top 10 of the chart.
* Three Days Grace and Shinedown each have songs that top the *Billboard* Mainstream Rock Songs chart. The fact that both have been topping the chart since early 2000s, and keep trading places for band with most songs to top the chart, elicits discussions about staleness and dormancy of modern rock radio.
* Tears for Fears releases their seventh studio album, and first studio album in 18 years, *The Tipping Point*. It debuts at number 8 on the *Billboard* 200, moving 31,000 album equivalent units. Its the band's highest ever charting debut, and their first in 30 years to debut in the top 10. It is also the best selling album of the week in pure sales as well.
* Guitarist Slash releases his fifth solo album, *4*. It is his fourth solo album featuring vocalist Myles Kennedy of Alterbridge. The album debuts in the top 10 of ten separate national album charts.
* Jethro Tull releases their 22nd studio album, *The Zealot Gene*, their first in almost 18 years. It charts at number 9 on the UK OOC all-formal albums chart, making it their first album in 50 years to crack the top 10 of the UK albums chart.
* Eddie Vedder (of Pearl Jam) releases his third solo album, *Earthling*. It is the best selling album of the week in the US, topping the *Billboard* Top Album Sales chart with 16,000 copies sold.

### March

* Swedish band Ghost release their fifth studio album, *Impera*. First started in 2020, the album's creation spanned 2 years as the band waited out the 2020 US Presidential Election season and some rougher parts of the COVID-19 pandemic. The latter inspired frontman Tobias Forge to revisit and complete an album idea he has had since 2014, about "the rise and fall of empires". The album debuts at number 2 on the *Billboard* 200 chart, moving 70,000 album equivalent units. The debut is the band best of their career in both chart position and units moved. It is the highest charting hard rock album since 2020's *Power Up* album by AC/DC, and the best selling hard rock album in over a year, since 2021's *Medicine at Midnight* album by the Foo Fighters. As of its March release, *Impera* was also the highest pure sales of 2022 of any album genre.
* Feeder releases their eleventh studio album, *Torpedo*. Described as "heavier but still melodic", the album is themed around the band's frustrations of not being able to perform live due to COVID 19 restrictions. It debuts at number 5 on the UK all-format Official Chart Company albums chart, their tenth album to place in the top ten of the chart.
* Machine Gun Kelly releases his sixth studio album, and second one of the rock genre. Originally announced as *Born with Horns*, it was later retitled to *Mainstream Sellout*. It tops the all-format US Billboard 200 albums chart upon release, moving 93,000 album equivalent units. It is the first rock album in over a year to top the chart, with the last ones being AC/DC and Kelly's own *Tickets to My Downfall* in 2020. Despite the success, Kelly announces he is returning to rap music for his future releases.
* Kid Rock's twelfth studio album, *Bad Reputation*, fails to debut in the top 200 albums of the *Billboard* 200 upon its release. His prior seven albums had all debuted in the top 10 of the chart. His turn towards politics was cited as a possible reason for the steep decline since prior albums.
* After its appearance in the March 2022 film *The Batman*, Nirvana's 1991 song "Something in the Way" appears on the *Billboard* Hot 100 all-format song chart at number 46. It is the first song of the band's to appear on the chart in 20 years, since 2002's "You Know You're Right", and the first time the song had ever appeared on the chart, with it never having been released as a single in the past.

### April

* Red Hot Chili Peppers release their twelfth studio album, *Unlimited Love*. It is their first with guitarist John Frusciante since he left the band in 2009. It tops the *Billboard* 200 albums chart upon its debut week, moving 97,500 album equivalent units. It is their second album to top the chart, and their first since 2006's *Stadium Arcadium*. Additionally, the album replacing Machine Gun Kelly's *Mainstream Sellout* as a chart topper makes it the first time since 2017 that the chart had back to back rock artists topping the chart, when Foo Fighters and The Killers did it with *Concrete and Gold* and *Wonderful Wonderful* respectively.
* At the 2022 Grammy Awards, the Foo Fighters win all three rock music themed Grammy Awards - "Making a Fire" wins Best Rock Performance, "Waiting on a War" wins Best Rock Song, and *Medicine at Midnight* wins Best Rock Album.
* Pink Floyd reunites to release a one-off song "Hey, Hey, Rise Up!". It is the band's first release of new music since 1994's *The Division Bell*. The song is in support of Ukraine in the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, and feature vocals from Andriy Khlyvnyuk of the Ukrainian band Boombox.
* Jack White releases his first of two studio albums planned for 2022, *Fear of the Dawn*, the other being *Entering Heaven Alive* in July 2022. *Fear of the Dawn* debuts in the top ten of at least six separate national album charts.

### May

* My Chemical Romance releases their first new song in 8 years, "The Foundations of Decay".
* The Black Keys release their eleventh studio album, *Dropout Boogie*. It debuted at number 8 on the *Billboard* 200, moving 33,000 album equivalent units. It is the band's sixth album to chart in the top 10 of the chart, and their second within a year, after *Delta Kream* in May 2021.

### June

* British progressive rock band Porcupine Tree releases their first new studio album in 13 years, *Closure/Continuation*. The album was recorded intermittently over the course of a decade in complete secrecy while frontman Steven Wilson pursued a solo career and other members moved on to other projects. The COVID pandemic halted their other projects and allowed them the time to finally complete the album. The album title is self-referential to the fact that the band is uncertain if this is the end of the band's career, or the start of a new era. The album tops four separate national charts in Europe and peaks at number 2 in the UK, all career highs.

* Coheed and Cambria releases their tenth studio album, *Vaxis - Act II: A Window of the Waking Mind*. The album will continue the story of their long running series of concept albums, though frontman Claudio Sanchez notes that parts of the story are still in flux, as some plot points have felt insensitive in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.

* Many rock musicians speak out in protest against of the overturning of Roe v. Wade, including Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine, Hayley Williams of Paramore, and Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam. Billie Joe Armstrong of Green Day goes as far as saying he will renounce his own US citizenship over it.

### July

* Shinedown releases their seventh studio album, *Planet Zero*. The album was initially scheduled to be released in late 2021, and then delayed to April 2022, before finally being released in July.

## Future releases

* Jack White is scheduled to release two studio albums in 2022, his fourth solo studio album, *Fear of the Dawn*, on 8 April 2022, and his fifth solo studio album, *Entering Heaven Alive* on 22 July 2022.

* Panic! at the Disco is scheduled to release their seventh studio album, *Viva Las Vengeance*, on August 19, 2022. The album features work from Butch Walker who was said to add "a sound that showcases guitars and nods to the arena rock sound of decades past, primarily the 1970s".

* I Prevail is scheduled to release their third studio album, *True Power*, on August 19, 2022. It is their first studio album since 2019's Grammy nominated album *Trauma*.

* Five Finger Death Punch is scheduled to release their ninth studio album, *AfterLife*. The album was not planned as a concept album, but was created as a cohesive unit.

* Alter Bridge is scheduled to release their seventh studio album, titled *Pawns & Kings*, on October 14 2022. The album was written and recorded across the last few years as band members balanced it with their respective other musical projects.

* Nothing More is scheduled to release their sixth studio album, *Spirits*, on October 14, 2022. It is their first since their 2017 Grammy nominated *The Stories We Tell Ourselves* and "Go to War".

* Disturbed is scheduled to release their eighth studio album in late 2022. Frontman David Draiman describes the album as sounding like their older material, including their first (*The Sickness*) and third (*Ten Thousand Fists*) albums.

* Blink-182 is scheduled to release their ninth studio album. Originally starting as bonus material for a deluxe release of their prior album, *Nine*, it was later separated out as a separate release due to its differing sound and content. Initially scheduled for a 2020 and 2021 release, drummer Travis Barker noted that it was likely relegated 2022 due to Barker's commitment to other projects and bassist's Mark Hoppus's cancer diagnosis in 2021.

* Staind is scheduled to release their eighth studio album, their first new album in over a decade. 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.

* Slipknot - is scheduled to release their seventh studio album in mid-2022. It is described by frontman Corey Taylor as a heavier version of their melodic album *Vol. 3: The Subliminal Verses*.

* In addition to Slipknot's seventh studio album, a separate album from some band members is also scheduled for release. 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.

* Hayley Williams of Paramore announced that the band is working on their sixth studio album, which was hinted to be more guitar-driven than their prior 2017 album, *After Laughter*.

* Weezer - after releasing two full albums over the course of 2021 (*OK Human* and *Van Weezer*), frontman Rivers Cuomo announced the band would release four full albums over the course of 2022. The concept, under the conceptual *Seasons* moniker, see the band release a new studio album on the first day of each season. Cuomo describes the "Spring" album as "Happy chill", a dance rock album themed sonically themed around the work of The Strokes in the fall, and a sadder Elliott Smith styled album in the winter. Cuomo later confirmed that each album will be released on the day of starting each respective season.

* Avenged Sevenfold plans on releasing their eighth studio album. The band worked on recording it across 2020, but the COVID-19 pandemic complicated and slowed down plans, for example, making it impossible to work with an orchestra for string arrangements. The album is scheduled to release prior to a mid-2022 tour. The band later reiterated plans for an album and touring in 2022.

* Frontman Billy Corgan of the Smashing Pumpkins announced that he would be releasing a third double album in what he called a trilogy of double albums, including *Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness* (1996) and *Machina/The Machines of God* (2000), in 2021, despite releasing a separate double album, *Cyr*, in November 2020. The album was later delayed to 2022, and was finished in April 2022. Work on the album was about half done as of July 2021.
* Jane's Addiction has announced their intention to release their first new material in a decade, though frontman Perry Farrell notes that it's unlikely to be a full album.
* Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails announced his intentions to record and release collaborative new music in 2020. However, the COVID-19 pandemic complicated those plans, causing Reznor to instead release two more iterations of his instrumental *Ghost* releases, *Ghosts V: Together* and *Ghosts VI: Locusts*, cancel a major tour in 2020, and alter plans for new music and touring for 2022.
* Pearl Jam has begun working on their twelfth studio album, working with music producer Andrew Watt.
