   Here's one that isn't even out yet, John Zorn's 49 Acts of Unspeakable Depravity in the Abominable Life and Times of Gilles de Rais.  Per the Tzadik web site, in typically understated style:  
49 Acts of Unspeakable Depravity in the Abominable Life and Times of Gilles de Rais” is the fifth CD by Simulacrum, an organ trio of unparalleled power that brings the sounds of heavy metal, blues, funk and jazz together with modern classical music. Tighter than ever and able to stop and start at breakneck speed, Medeski, Hollenberg and Grohowski are at their raging best as they blaze through Zorn’s wildest flights of fancy—a ten-movement suite evoking a sick and decadent descent into madness. Driven by an intense and powerful fury, this CD contains some of the craziest sounds you are ever likely to hear as genres, noise, instrumental colors and driving rhythms collide head-on. A jaw-dropping visit to a new musical world where absolutely anything is possible!
So, they reckon it's going to be quite good then.  Autobuy for me whatever, the Simulacrum band is actually pretty awesome.

NB.  There aren't actually going to be 49 tracks on it, just 10.
