[rms]

So far all the CD's ive bought for 2012 have been lost in the mail, bunch of horseshit.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

[TechnicalBarbarity]

[Krigloch the Furious]

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Aborted, Pallbearer, Lunar Aurora, Ignivomous, 7 H.Target are my favorites.

 

[skeptik]

Im pretty sure the new Overkill is gonna be on my list next week.

It will be.

Pretty sure these are the only things I have from 2012 so far, and I just got them last night, so I obviously don't have enough time invested in them to say anything substantial about them, but they've all given me strong first impressions.

Angel Witch - As Above, So Below
Aura Noir - Out to Die
Overkill - The Electric Age

Anybody that was approaching that Angel Witch album with skepticism...don't waste any time being skeptical. You're just wasting your time. Half of the album is pre-1984, but the new songs are great, vintage material as well, particularly "Geburah" and "Upon this Cord".

 

[PhlegethonVeins]

That new Aura Noir is better than their previous work but nothing that will stick with me.

 

[GrayRain]

Abominable Putridity and 7 H.Target

 

[Krow]

Pilgrim - Misery Wizard
Pallbearer - Sorrow and Extinction
Napalm Death - Utilitarian
Goatwhore - Blood for the Master
Cannibal Corpse - Torture

 

[ArneZ]

1.Alcest - Les voyages de l'âme
2.Woods of Ypres - Woods 5: Grey Skies & Electric Light
3.Anathema - Weather Systems
4.Aborted - Global Flatline

 

[el barto]

The first Zom demo has been the most exciting thing I have heard so far this year. It's been a while since I have heard something so truly inspired from these shores.

 

[Evil Dead]

1.Alcest - Les voyages de l'âme
2.Woods of Ypres - Woods 5: Grey Skies & Electric Light
3.Anathema - Weather Systems
4.Aborted - Global Flatline

I thought the first song on Weather Systems was pretty fucking good, then I couldn't stand anything else. But that song is good enough to pick up the slack for the rest..imo. Alcest and Woods, Aborted - Hell yes.

 

[xX M i A s M a]

1. Hour Of Penance - Sedition
2. Spawn Of Possession - Incurso
3. Mgla - With Hearts Toward None
4. Pallbearer - Sorrow And Extinction
5. Aborted - Global Flatline

There were several more that BARELY missed this list, including Gorod and Goatwhore's newest entries.

EDIT: I think after hearing it a couple times (finally) that I'll have to amend that list to work Dodecahedron in somewhere.

 

[gundamterran]

hmm, my top 5 so far would include Pallbearer, 7 H.Target, Profanatica, Spawn Of Possession, and Disastrous.

new HoP and Aborted were pretty good on first listen but wore off quickly to me.

 

[gundamterran]

oh wait, nvm. New Ignivomous gets into my top 5 instead of Disastrous.

 

[EternalMetal]

Pallbearer, Napalm Death, Ignivomous, Charon, and Lunar Aurora. Dodecahedron, Mgla and Aborted were pretty good too, though I was a bit disappointed with the new Gorod.

Didnt know Profanatica came out with anything this year, gotta get that.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

Charon is certainly awesome. The tracks on youtube are excellent. I'll keep my eye out for that one!

 

[Victim of Deception]

Barren Earth - The Devil's Resolve, Black Breath - Sentenced to Life, Orange Goblin - A Eulogy for the Damned and The 11th Hour - Lacrima Mortis are a few albums that haven't been mentioned here that deserve notice, particularly the Barren Earth one.
