If Today Were December 31, 2012...

I like Beyond Magnetic. Obviously it's not even close to their best, but it's a solid album given what it is, a collection of leftovers.

I've already picked up new releases from Overkill, Autopsy, Terrorizer and Napalm Death.

I'm predicting that I'll also be getting the new releases from Kreator, Testament, Suffocation, Gorguts and Obituary. I'll probably also get the Mortification one that was recently released.

Alcest - Les Voyages De L'Ame

I didn't realize that was a 2012 release, it definitely makes my list then, love that album!

This was released in late January.

I accidentally left out the 3 Inches Of Blood cd from my list.

Christian Mistress - Possession
Prong- Carved in Stone
Messhuggah - Koloss
Orange Goblin - Eulogy

Jethro Tull's Ian Anderson Thick as a Brick 2
Orange Goblin A Eulogy for the Damned
Pharaoh Bury the Light
Accept Stalingrad +1
Last Vegas, The The Other Side EP

Been a slow year thus far. Probably not much here for folks on this board.

Asphyx - Deathhammer
Desaster - The Arts of Destruction
Deathhammer - Onward to the Pits
Goatwhore - Blood for the Master

Some that I'm really loving this year are...

UFO - Seven Deadly
Exumer - Fire & Damnation
Angel Witch - As Above So Below (this has turned into a classic grower with repeated listens)

My 2012 purchases have been slow, but 2 that have really stuck with me are:

Christian Mistress - Possession
Astra - The Black Chord

2 very different bands, but I enjoy them both immensely. Honorable mention to Orange Goblin's latest, Eulogy For the Damned. It didn't do much for me on the first coupla spins, but it's grown on me with repeated listens.

Well, I've heard neither.

you should hear that Christian Mistress.. you'll dig it.

I did. The EP sounds like kids just learning to play, but the full-length sounded much better. =)

The new Beardfish album "The Void" jumped into my top 10 with a bullet. Killer album.

It is quite fantastic. Pretty sure there's no way I could accurately pick a top 10 now. Haha.

Not with the amount of CDs you purchase!

I'm picky as hell and don't buy much anymore, so it's not hard for me.

I think the new PRONG and CHAOS INCEPTION albums IIRC are the only ones I really enjoyed.

I'd add 4arm and Striker to my list.

I have bought a bunch of stuff this year, but almost none is a 2012 release So... I will only mention the stuff that is new to me this year.

Armageddon - the Money Mask
The Crucified - Pillars of Humanity
Accept - Stalingrad
Aerosmith - Done With Mirrors
Arnion - Fall Like Rain
Flatfoot 56 - Toil
Join the Dead - e.p.
Paradise Lost - Tragic Idol
Ultimatum - Into the Pit
Ultimatum - The Mechanics of Perilous Times

I can only list 8, but I'm sure the new Black Country Communion and KISS will make my list when they're released...

The Cult - Choice of Weapon
Lynyrd Skynyrd - Last of a Dyin' Breed
Rush - Clockwork Angels
Slash and the Conspirators - Apocalyptic Love
Smashing Pumpkins - Oceania
UFO - Seven Deadly
Van Halen - A Different Kind of Truth

Helix - Skin in the Game
Saxon - Eagles of Wacken
Toxic Holocaust/Municipal Waste - Toxic Waste Split

Sax, is it worth it adding that Saxon live album? They have so many.

I realize I have bought very few metal releases this year.

The only one that comes to mind is Municipal Waste. and Van Halen.

Other good records
-Jack White (I don't normally get into stuff he does, but I like this one)
-First Aid Kid
-Of Monsters and Men
-Neil Young- Americana
-Bruce Springsteen- Wrecking Ball


I will, no doubt, buy Monster, and I am sure it will be a top tenner.
