The official metal 2012 thread

so it looks like mark the shark shelton's side project Hellwell will be releasing an album sometime this spring
 
I think that it has potential to be a great year. Devin Townsend, Keldian (finally) and hopefully Summoning and Arcturus will release albums. If I'm lucky, Savage Circus might release something in the latter part of the year. I'm looking forward to the future.

Nice. An album last year and this year. I just hope its as good as Dark Foil.
 
3 Inches of Blood has been going downhill since 2004. Advance and Vanquish was their pinnacle. Now they are just putting out cheese metal. The goat vagina on this album is a new level of ridiculous.
 
Part I is a lot better than Part II unfortunately but this song is pretty good.

Maybe not strictly metal but Les Discrets - Ariettes Oubliées comes out the 10th and is streaming on youtube now. Just pre-ordered the digibook from their label, I'd recommend you do the same if you like the band. Prophecy releases the coolest damn digibooks.

Turns out EW dont think they will get the album ready by the end of the year so they are just releasing a few singles instead

LEGALISE DRUGS AND MURDER..ELECTRIC WIZARD RELEASE NEW SONG ON 7" VINYL!!

The apocalyptic first recordings from the much anticipated 8th studio LP from ELECTRIC WIZARD will be released as a vinyl only 7" on March 31st at their forthcoming LONDON FORUM show. It is the first of a number of vinyl only releases set to promote the , as yet, untitled and unfinished LP.
Recording of the new LP has already commenced but will not be completed until later this year and as a result the band have decided to release certain songs and exclusive B-sides on the vinyl format.
The A-side 'Legalise Drugs and Murder' is a cathartic anthem for the 'lost' generation, a gargantuan 70s styled Doom Stomper and the perfect 7" single. Ultra-catchy and featuring the bands trademark 'wall of fuzz' sound, topped with an evil, sneering vocal.
The band had a few words about the 'controversial' subject matter "…the new song is a definitive statement on the ELECTRIC WIZARD cult…we demand total freedom and revolution….man, things have got bad , the world is evil…." and on the development of their sound "…it has to be primal and violent, y'know cos we wanna get to people..and it had to be anthemic to inspire revolutionary thoughts. We wanted to be SLADE and SABBATH meets the Baader-Meinhoff Gang…"
The B-side is an even more twisted journey. Inspired by deranged eurohorror/giallo soundtracks of the 70s , 'Murder and Madness' is a claustrophobic meditation on the themes of the A-side. A paranoiac brooding number created with vicious wah guitar and discordant organ and piano that rises in intensity to a crescendo of sadism.
Yet again ELECTRIC WIZARD raise the bar of Doom Metal in just two songs from super-heavy 70s glam rock stomp to a purely visceral and sadistic art rock experience.
Raise your fists with ELECTRIC WIZARD and scream "Legalise Drugs and Murder' on March 31st....

Listening to the two new Meshuggah tracks from their upcoming album. It's really just Obzen part 2. Kind of disappointed.
