In no particular order: http://www.npr.org/blogs/bestmusic2012/201...7695210/top-10-metal-albums-of-2012

"With no real trends or whipping posts in 2012, it was, surprisingly, just a great time to enjoy metal on its own terms..."

The new Pharaoh album is quite excellent, at least.

The comment section is cringeworthy.

ZOMG WHERE'S BTBAM AND CONVERGE GUYS?

I really enjoy Horseback.

Also, it's funny how they base the write up for the Pharaoh record talking about Chris Black, when he's just the drummer. Not that drumming isn't important, but he's by no means the star of that record. I also liked all of his other recent records better than that one.

Spaceghostpurrp had the best black metal album of the year.

Hivesmasher gets namedropped:

Like a nail bomb hooked up to a chandelier (yeah, I thought that part in Skyfall was awesome, too), Book Burner is a classy joint waiting to explode. Perennial favorite Pig Destroyer's fifth album had competition for grindcore record of the year (sup, Hivesmasher), but it's the architecture of this insanity that wins it for me, like Matthew Barney madly scaling the Guggenheim in The Cremaster Cycle. New member Adam Jarvis (Misery Index) ends up being the linchpin holding it all together, his machine-gun-drumming a perfect foil to Scott Hull's spiraling riffs.

So, had PD not come out with Book Burner we might have been in that slot? I dig it.

This list is like an overdecorated pseudo-dive bar attached to a metal venue, where everyone's 'edgy rock chick' girlfriends can go and wait for the boring bands that yell too much to stop playing. Then Asphyx stopped in to get directions.

That xPDx record isnt very good.
