Figured that we needed one of these for this year too.

If you listen to any new albums (2012 releases) just post/talk about 'em here.

Personally, these have been some of my highlights so far:

Meshuggah - Koloss
The Mars Volta - Noctourniquet
Crippled Black Phoenix - (Mankind) The Crafty Ape
Every Time I Die - Ex Lives
Lamb of God - Resolution
Mark Lanegan - Blues Funeral
Black Breath - Sentenced to Life

Other bands, who are releasing albums this year, that I'm HIGHLY anticipating:

Baroness
Cult of Luna
Gojira
Neurosis
Tomahawk
High on Fire
Alice in Chains
Rush
Queens of the Stone Age
Deftones
Soundgarden
Down

All my favorite bands are putting out new stuff this year. Fucking stoked!

Looking forward to the new Deftones album as well. Their last album Diamond Eyes was tops. Any word on when it'll be released this year yet?

Late 2012/early 2013.

Here's hoping for a 2012 release!

I still have crap from last year that I have yet to listen to.

But new Swans, Converge, Saint Vitus, Burzum, Melvins, Candlemass, Tool, Neurosis, etc is always welcome.

you not psyched for new Torche?
look at this colourful sexiness!




there's so much greatness to come this year. coffee's anticipation list pretty much sums it up for me.

i'll add (seriously) looking forward to new Death Grips.

I had that Teeel song on repeat quite a bit today. It's so good. Gotta hear the rest of that album now.
