Too many 2012 lists around, you complain? You don't have to complain about this, though, it is NOT a 2012 list!

Previously, this list contained long-ass reviews, and distorted orders. But then this made people lose order and no one really reads what I write except about a handful of albums, so I decided to remove the X/10 rating system and use an "A-F" kinda stuff.

1.Rush - Clockwork Angels

2.Cytotoxin - Radiophobia

3.Overkill - The Electric Age

4.Gorod - A Perfect Absolution

5.Testament - Dark Roots Of Earth

Due to the overwhelming "popularity" of my last list, I have decided to do the same thing in 2012

1.Hail Spirit Noir - Pneuma

2.Baroness - Yellow & Green

3.Devin Townsend - Epicloud

4.Arjen Anthony Lucassen - Lost In The New Real

5.Royal Thunder - CVI

8 - Great Album. Will recommend to friends.

1.Cannibal Corpse - Torture

2.Psycroptic - The Inherited Repression

3.Spawn Of Possession - Incurso

4.Gorod - A Perfect Absolution
