All of my top ten would include previous mentions, but I'd like to throw in the new Mors Principium Est album since it squeaked in just before the new year as it's pretty high on my list for the year: Mors Principium Est - Ascension https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4JRdUEzqBs

Hey, I was right about a thing:Amon Amarth posted:We’ve just finished writing all the songs for the next full-length album, and we’re ready to enter the studio to start recording them in the new year.

A shitton of good albums came out in 2012, my top ten would probably be (in any order): Spawn of Possession - Incurso Sigh - In Somniphobia Cattle Decapitation - Monolith of Inhumanity Agalloch - Faustian Echoes Krallice - Years Past Matter Ihsahn - Eremita Anaal Nathrakh - Vanitas Panopticon - Kentucky Gojira - L'Enfant Sauvage Enslaved - RIITIR Definitely hard to choose though, with all that came out this year.

Holy loving hell how did I forget to mention Graveyard - Lights Out amongst my favourite 2012 albums? Goddamnit this is some fantastic poo poo. Especially this track, easily one of the best songs I've heard in the last few years.

Just gonna post this here cause it didn't seem like many people have heard it. If you like demilich, they are definitely influenced by them, but arent an exact copy. Definitely my favorite release this year. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mRSesSiu360 Also, I listened to the terrorizer album, not the other two, but yea the Terrorizer isn't all that...Forgot about the Gaza album, I remember liking it so I gotta revisit that.

So Death Angel got featured in a Hardee's/Carl's Jr. commercial. Honestly, I'm all for Death Angel getting more exposure.

Demoncy was excellent, those other two were indisputable bilge that cast shadows on otherwise reasonable legacies. I've got a copy of that Chthe'ilist demo kicking around somewhere, it's pretty good, but it's not something I feel the need to repeatedly listen to. For anyone who likes complete madness, Karnarium finally got round to releasing something again.

I'm thinking about going to the Inferno Metal Festival in Norway in March. I can stay in my friend's hotel room in downtown Oslo since he's there for work. Cheapest flight from San Francisco is $880 right now. Anyone ever been? How does it compare to some of the other big festivals? I want to someday go to Wacken or Tuska, so maybe I should wait for one of those massive outdoor ones.

But take a coat, for real. I was freezing in Norway in June. JUNE! Also $880 is super cheap for plane tickets to Norway, so I say do it, unless another Euro fest has a better line up.

I would go based on plane ticket price and free accommodation alone. (Edit: and to see Behexen) Wacken was insanely fun but it (and the 2 weeks backpacking around) cost a lot. ethan fucked around with this message at 07:24 on Jan 4, 2013 |

I'm not as into black metal as I am other genres, but the circumstances and me wanting to go to Norway might actually sway me.

Anyone else see that the full length Aether Realm release is streaming here for another day or so? http://www.nocleansinging.com/2013/01/03/an-ncs-premiere-aether-realm-one-chosen-by-the-gods/ Sounds an awful lot like Wintersun, which I guess is pretty awesome.

Ne Obliviscaris gets my vote for best metal album of the year especially because they can do it live too.

Cheapest flight from San Francisco is $880 right now. Anyone ever been? How does it compare to some of the other big festivals? I want to someday go to Wacken or Tuska, so maybe I should wait for one of those massive outdoor ones. I've been to Inferno twice (2007 & 2008), and it's a pretty good festival. Remember that it's a club festival, and that the beer prices are mid/high-range by Norwegian standards. This means that at the venue you'll be paying around 70 NOK for 0,5l, which equals $12.5 or £7.8. As a result the Norwegians are usually piss-drunk long before midnight, while most of the foreigners tend to be rather sober. To save on your pocket-money I'd recommend buying some cheap pisswater beer (Seidel, Borg, Pokal) for about 20 NOK a can, and drink it in your hotel before the shows or whenever you have some spare time between gigs. Also get some tax-free booze at the airport. Otherwise there are a few cheaper pubs in downtown Oslo, like Møllers (which is next door to the venue) and Rock In (a strictly hard rock/metal pub which is always packed for the festival), where you'll be paying maybe 40 NOK for a glass. As a Norwegian I prefer going abroad for festivals, since I can usually make back most of the travel-cost on the comparably much cheaper accommodation, food, and drink in central Europe. Also I personally think that the Inferno lineup has been a bit rubbish in recent years, as well as being too close to Roadburn. At least the selection of bands at Inferno is nowhere near the awfulness of Wacken, and you won't have to deal with fifty thousand Germans pissing on your tent.

I am pretty sure you can bring a small amount of alcohol with you in your checked baggage through customs. Something like 1L or less? You should look because liquor is hella expensive too. On another note, I will be volunteering on 70K Tons of Metal, likely working merch. If you'll be sailing, come say hello and pretty please buy me a beer cause I'll be working my rear end off.

Works good for me, so I'll be able to see whichever shows I choose.

I've been increasingly having this problem with new metal releases where when I hear a new album it just sounds like a worse version of their old stuff to me. Not to say they are straight up bad, I'm just not going to put them on a year-end list because they're not a good representation of what the bands can do to me. I'm also aware this is how Dads listening to Dadrock happens (I'm undecided on Enslaved, Panopticon seems to be getting a lot of hype but I think I need to listen to it again because it didn't really blow me away, haven't heard the rest)

My top albums for the year were definitely Be'lakor, Ne Obliviscaris, In Mourning, Gorod, and Hour of Penance. I like death metal.  Next year I have extremely high hopes for the new Vader, Amon Amarth, and Wintersun albums. I hope Time II is a step up from Time I, since I considered that a bit of a let down overall. Vader has literally never written or made anything bad, so I know I dont have to worry about them.
