The official metal 2012 thread

Yeah, its going to be pretty fucking sweet.

Their labels website says it will be out around July 9th, but could be delayed a few days...So looks like Ill be checking everyday until its out...
 
Tomer Pink just made an official Subterranean Masquerade facebook page and announced that the band is recording again after this seven year disappearing act. A 2 song uber limited 7" is supposed to come out in November this year, with a new album next year.


This is essentially THE music news I've been waiting for since months after the release of Suspended Animation Dreams forever ago.

Finland's HOODED MENACE have completed work on their new album, Effigies Of Evil. Marking their first release for Relapse Records, Effigies Of Evil will be released on September 25th in CD, 2xLP and digital editions including a special deluxe edition vinyl release, which comes with a limited edition 7" featuring covers by WITCHFINDER GENERAL and ETERNAL DARKNESS.

Wow, they're already on Relapse? I feel like it was just a few years ago when I first listened to their demos. I hope they don't drastically alter their sound.
 
New Darkthrone is going to be called "The Underground Resistance"

Terrorizer said:
Norway's grimmest of grim metallers Darkthrone have announced the album of their forthcoming 15th album to be 'The Underground Resistance'

Guitarist/vocalist Nocturno Culto told Terrorizer: "The album will be called 'The Underground Resistance'. I can't speak for Fenriz, but I think he's going for more epic lyrics. I can only speak for myself and this time around they are very personal lyrics. It's the first time I've ever tried this and it's difficult to do it nicely and put it into good words. There was a lot of hate and people trying to ruin your day and I had stuff to say for my sake."

Of the album, he adds: "Our music now is basically just metal, it will be a step away from the last album as usual"

The album is, says Culto, is almost completed and is scheduled for a release later this year on Peaceville.

I really enjoyed Circle the Wagons so i was hoping for more of that but im still looking forward to whatever they come out with.
