Dougver1's Personal Top 10 Of 2012
So, I figure with all the staff picks and ms awards going around, I'd post some of the new favorites I've found in 2012, as well as some anticipated favs of the year! Some of these have really changed since the MS awards, since I found myself enjoying certain albums way more than others, which likely would have been on my list otherwise. |
1.
Be'lakor - Of Breath and Bone | |
2.
Ne Obliviscaris - Portal of I | |
3.
Enslaved - Riitiir | |
4.
Xanthochroid - Blessed He With Boils | |
5.
Atoma - Skylight |

A List Of Great Debut Albums
A lot of bands have great debut albums. Obviously this list is just a fraction of all the great debut albums out there, but it's a start. I'll keep expanding this list continuously, so all suggestions are welcome. My favourite genres are Doom, Black and Gothic Metal, but I also like Progressive, Thrash and Death Metal. All albums on this list are at least worth an 8/10 rating. I included genres of each album as well. |
1.
40 Watt Sun - The Inside Room | |
2.
Ablaze In Hatred - Deceptive Awareness | |
3.
A Forest Of Stars - The Corpse Of Rebirth | |
4.
After Forever - Prison Of Desire | |
5.
Agalloch - Pale Folklore |

MMXII: Ranking The "Final" Year's Albums
While I'm slightly disappointed the world didn't end this year, I thought I'd share my musical tastes from throughout the year by arbitrarily ranking other people's art. When the year began I was really into sludge and stoner but as the year has worn on, it's been the black metal releases which by and large have won my attention and appreciation. |
1.
Royal Thunder - CVI | |
2.
Ancestors - In Dreams and Time | |
3.
Merrimack - The Acausal Mass | |
4.
Hail Spirit Noir - Pneuma | |

Edit: Anything above about a 7/10 I'll keep here. Now with approximate rating in a .5 scale and ordered according to **replay value** i.e how often I listen to them. AND now with some comments, adding them gradually. |
1.
Enslaved - RIITIIR | |
2.
Pharaoh - Bury The Light | |
3.
Anglagard - Viljans Öga | |
4.
Overkill - The Electric Age | |
