I have only got 3 so far this year

Cage - Supremacy of Steel
Kells - Anachromie
Primal Fear - Unbreakable

and they have all been awesome, so it seems to be a great year for music.
 
From your list - I own, or have en route to me the following...

Beyond the Bridge- The Old Man & the Spirit
Caligula's Horse- Moments from Ephemeral City
Dimension Act- Manifestations of Progress
Imminent Sonic Destruction- Recurring Themes
Silent Lapse- Birthright
Xandria- Neverworld's End

Caligula's Horse is on top for now. I also have the new Lord Of Mushrooms on the way.
Epica is a blind buy. Southern Cross has moved to the purchase list too. Still debating Effloresce (Shuteye Wanderer may be worth the price alone).

From your list that I am enjoying also (still waiting for Nuclear Blast to send me a promo for Epica to review):

Beyond the Bridge- The Old Man & the Spirit (after listening to this album for 4 months, still my favorite of 2012, gonna take a lot to knock it from the top spot)
Dimension Act- Manifestations of Progress
Imminent Sonic Destruction- Recurring Themes
Hemina - Synthetic
Iron Fire- Voyage of the Damned
Xandria- Neverworld's End

and three that aren't on your list that I am digging as well:
Dark Empire - From Refuge to Ruin
Diabulus in Musica - The Wanderer
Lanfear - This Harmonic Consonance

and looking ahead, new albums to come from:
Accept
Sanctuary
Circus Maximus
Huntress
 
Glenn, if you like that new Mustasch album, I seriously recommend you Orange Goblin's new album A Eulogy for the Damned. It's got every bit of the rock 'n' roll ethic of the aforementioned Swedes with the British doom backbone from bands like Cathedral or even the mighty Black Sabbath. The new album shirks a lot of the band's past "psychadelic" leanings for a more streamlined sound. It's good shit. Here's the single (and first track):

I heard this song a few weeks ago. Good stuff and I'm not big on stoner metal
 
They're moving a good bit away from the "stoner metal" moniker with this new release. Their older albums, I definitely know what you're talking about; this new record is just doom metal/rock n roll.

OH. I need to hear this immediately, then.

I've been really enjoying the Beyond the Bridge album. Also The Safety Fire and The Omega Experiment's new albums are really bad ass.
 
So far I'm liking:
Alcest - Les Voyages de L'ame
Lamb of God - Resolution
First Aid Kit - The Lion's Roar
Beyond the Bridge - The Old Man & The Spirit
Lana Del Rey - Born to Die
Savage Messiah - Plague of Conscience
The Tallest Man on Earth - The Wild Hunt
Ani di Franco - Which Side Are You On
Howlin Rain - The Russian Wilds
The Omega Experiment - S/T
 
The new Van Halen really surprised me. It's a killer album. Got the Savage Messiah today, it is awesome. Primal Fear- amazing as usual.
Check out the new Foxy Shazam "The Church of Rock and Roll" for something different!
 
I made myself a Rhapsody playlist with the new Van Halen, Mr. Big and the latest Whitesnake albums. All three are very solid albums and make for a very enjoyable playlist together!

Furyon's Gravitas album looks like a 2010 release. At least I can find where they apparently self published in 2010. Maybe this is a reissue on a label? There are reviews for it at least from back then.

This was a huuuuuge disappointment for me. I miss how chaotic the first two album were.
 
The Safety Fire - Grind the Ocean

For me it is by far the best album released so far in 2012
 
So far, these are my favorites:

Sunstorm - Emotional Fire
Beyond the Bridge - The Old Man and the Spirit
Lanfear - This Hamonic Consonance
Van Halen - A Different Kind of Truth
Lana Del Rey - Born to Die
Devil's Train - S/T
Rage - 21

Haven't heard any others i liked(Didn't care for the new Primal Fear), but will check out a few in this thread.
