Let's see...Asphyx, Ketzer, Ignivomous, Sigh, Faustcoven, Inquisition, Zemial(maybe), Pallbearer, Christian Mistress, Solstice, Pagan Altar, anything BTC/Rhinocervs related and of course more reissues of classic metal records are always welcome.
Only heard Horrendous from 2012 so far. A lot to look forward too though: Katatonia, Anathema, Atoma, The Foreshadowing, Infinitum, Cannibal Corpse, Asphyx etc.
Yeah, 2012 will be huge: Napalm Death, Paradise Lost, Cathedral, Moonspell, Katatonia, Dead Can Dance, Secrets of the Moon, Dor De Duh, Killing Joke. + The Flight of Sleipnir puts out a new album and reissues their first releases on vinyl. + Whatever reissues the usual labels do this year. I WILL GO BROKE
looking forward too new albums from: Daylight Dies. Saturnus. Woods of Ypres. Katatonia. Les Descrets. Gallowbraid. October falls. Soulfallen. Atoma. Swallow the sun. Before the Dawn. Cynic. And so on
I'm waiting for Katatonia, Eluveite*, Les Discrets, The Foreshadowing, Neurosis, Gojira, Anathema, Shearwater, Damien Jurado, Riverside, Tool, Paradise Lost and I'm sure many more. Edit: Gonna have to check out Anneke van Giersbergen and Crippled Black Phoenix...didn't know they had new stuff out.
There is a ton of good bands putting out albums this year. So far that I have heard, Woods Of Ypres, Alcest, Swallow The Sun, and Anneke Van Giersbergen have put out awesome albums. Album of the year I think will come down to either Katatonia or Anathema
Katatonia The Panic Division Tool/A Perfect Circle (luckily the new Puscifer was decent) Lunatica Trees Of Eternity Novus Dae Lacuna Coil Those are all the main ones I can think of for now.
The new Woods Of Ypres is really good, that'll probably be in my top 3 for the year. I like the new Alcest as well but I'm disappointed that no new elements were added to the band's sound.
Alcest - Les Voyages de L'Âme Anathema The Birthday Massacre Burzum - Umskiptar Cynic - The Portal Tapes Drudkh - Eternal Turn of the Wheel Katatonia Meshuggah - Koloss Monarch - Omens Muse Radiohead Ram-Zet Sangre y Tierra - Beyond Her, There are Glorious Swells Sigh - In Somniphobia Swallow the Sun - Emerald Forest and the Blackbird To/Die/For - Samsara
For those who are into neue deutsch härte, new Eisbrecher is fucking amazing. This is the best song they've released since Böse Mädchen! The chorus riff is so increidble and riveting!!
This is going to be a good year... Some of my favorite bands, lets hope there are no disappointments; Katatonia, Anathema, Dead Can Dance !!!!!, Saturnus...I'll stop there, that should just about do it !
