2012.....

[makethemsuffer12]

I find that don't listen to nearly as much new music as most people on here haha, but I guess if I had to rank the albums I've actually purchased this year:

1. Periphery - Periphery II: This Time It's Personal
2. The Faceless - Autotheism
3. Meshuggah - Koloss
4. Lamb of God - Resolution
5. Whitechapel - Whitechapel
6. Testament - Dark Roots of Earth
7. Six Feet Under - Undead
8. Cannibal Corpse - Torture

Don't think I'm missing any...

I've also listened to some of the new Dying Fetus, Kreator, Accept, Overkill and Emmure (I know...) albums on Spotify, but not enough to rank them.

EDIT: Forgot Whitechapel.

Good list. I still need to check out that Dawnbringer album.

I've finally gotten to the point in year where I legit like all the albums in my Top 25. And since I'm mentioning it, I may as well post it.


1. Alcest – Les Voyages De L’Ame
2. High on Fire – De Vermis Mysteriis
3. Royal Thunder – CVI
4. Young Hunter – Stone Tools
5. Rush – Clockwork Angels
6. Death Grips – The Money Store
7. Agalloch – Faustian Echoes
8. Ahab – The Giant
9. Old Man Gloom - No
10. Torche – Harmonicraft
11. BADBADNOTGOOD – BBNG2
12. Ne Obliviscaris – Portal of I
13. Worm Ouroboros – Come the Thaw
14. Every Time I Die – Ex-Lives
15. Krallice – Years Past Matter
16. Les Discrests – Ariettes Oubliees*
17. Anhedonist – Netherwards
18. Pallbearer – Sorrow and Extinction
19. Horn of the Rhino – Grengus
20. Meshuggah – Koloss
21. Ash Borer – Cold of Ages
22. Om – Advaitic Songs
23. Testament – Dark Roots of Earth
24. Baroness – Yellow and Green
25. Christian Mistress – Possession

I'd say albums 15-25 could probably be jumbled around a bit, but everything else is pretty solid in place.

I guess i'll post my top 25 too. I wouldn't be too satisfied with this as a final top 25 because the bottom albums are only in 7/10 territory. While it's mostly 8/10 albums, anything past 6 can be switched around.

1. Death Grips - The Money Store
2. Woods of Ypres - Grey Skies and Electric Light
3. Classics of Love - s/t
4. Torche - Harmonicraft
5. High on Fire - De Vermis Mysrteriis
6. Baroness - Yellow & Green
7. Ne Obliviscaris - Portal Of I
8. Cannibal Corpse - Torture
9. JJ DOOM - Key to the Kuffs
10. Aesop Rock - Skelethon
11. BADBADNOTGOOD - BBNG2
12. Testament - The Dark Roots of Earth
13. The Faceless - Autothesim
14. Nachtmystium - Silencing Machine
15. Cloud Nothings - Attack on Memory
16. OFF! - s/t
17. Overkill - The Electric Age
18. Sigh- In Somniphobia
19. Killer Mike - R.A.P. Music
20. Van Halen - A Different Kind of Truth
21. Black Breath - Sentenced to Life

23. Goatwhore - Blood For the Master
24. Kreator - Phantom Antichrist
25. Brendon Small - Galaktikon

Hey, crossover fans, check out the new Evil Ways record (formerly the band Gutters). It's pretty solid, in the same vein as Power Trip or Backtrack. Heavy, heavy Slayer influences. I think some of you will dig it.
