Man, Viceroy is wrong on this count. And I'm not just saying this because of all the posters here that write for it, but Decibel is one of the only mags out there keeping my hopes alive for print media as a viable thing.
Tangentially related, I picked up the Cryptopsy comp today. Nice liner notes Adrien, congrats! And I like how you, erm, let's say "delicately" handled covering their last album.

Most other labels and I'd be super skeptical, but Seventh Rule is known for uber-cheap sales.

Gimme a list of 5-10 of the best titles, please...
― 誤訳侮辱, Wednesday, 21 November 2012 20:43 (eleven years ago) link
Definitely these:
Ursus Americanus - Author & PunisherWizard Rifle - Speak Loud Say NothingWetnurse - Invisible CityKongh - Shadows of the ShapelessB A T I L L U S - Furnace
Wetnurse and Kongh are already up for free. I also like Raise the Red Lantern, but they are basically just very good High on Fire-style stoner metal, nothing necessarily essential. Other people might have thoughts about the stuff I haven't heard.
― Bound by Habitrails (J3ff T.), Wednesday, 21 November 2012 20:54 (eleven years ago) link
not a complete endorsement but i do get a kick out of author and punisher

I'm also into Sweet Cobra, super sludgy stuff, not sure how into them you'd be, though. Wizard Rifle also went up for free just now.

Don't forget about Atriarch. And the new Millions album is really solid as well.
― A. Begrand, Thursday, 22 November 2012 07:28 (eleven years ago) link
I will also vouch for wetnurse and batillus
― iRonic phone case asshole (jjjusten), Thursday, 22 November 2012 09:05 (eleven years ago) link
I'm woefully behind the curve, as ever, but this Witchcraft album is really good.

i once accidentally slept through a batillus show in the next room, i was really pissed at myself. ive been begging them to come back since

I sampled a whole bunch of those Seventh Rule albums, but the only one I ended up downloading was The Makai's The End of All You Know.

Because Blood Stain Child wasn't quite over-the-top enough on their own, look up their collaborative project called Imaginary Flying Machines. Speed power robotrance metal versions of Studio Ghibli movie songs. Really. Two whole albums of them.

Didn't Phil point me in the direction of that comp in 2011? I had access to a media page with a streaming thing but the label never sent a proper download.
― A. Begrand, Sunday, 25 November 2012 22:42 (eleven years ago) link
Yep, I was on that shit last year. Pretty sure I found an illegal download link for it, too.

I am absolutely smitten with a new Shadow Kingdom band called Corsair. Total Thin Lizzy style heavy rock, but not a blatant rip-off like Gypsyhawk. The singer actually has a little soul in his voice, like Lynott or Glenn Hughes. I just might be making a little room on the EOY list for this one.

― A. Begrand, Tuesday, 27 November 2012 03:00 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah, Corsair is really great. On my second stream of the album now, loving this.

Looks like this is getting a physical release in January, maybe I'll save this one for my 2013 lists. Either way, scooping this up as soon as I can buy a physical copy.
― HAPPY BDAY TOOTS (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Tuesday, 27 November 2012 04:48 (eleven years ago) link
Curses, Corsair's all the way down in "C"! That's 138 albums away on my iPod from where I am :-(
― Bound by Habitrails (J3ff T.), Tuesday, 27 November 2012 04:51 (eleven years ago) link
Well you can only stream it for now, so technically you wouldn't be cheating on your iPod. :p
― HAPPY BDAY TOOTS (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Tuesday, 27 November 2012 05:04 (eleven years ago) link
The band self-released it in April, so physical copies should be out there.
― EZ Snappin, Tuesday, 27 November 2012 05:05 (eleven years ago) link
Oh, nevermind me then. I wasn't having much luck in my (admittedly, brief) Google session and only found references to the Jan 2013 release. On any account, excited to throw money at these guys. Like I finally got my physical copy of Uncle Acid just last week!!

Is there some kinda poll/cheat sheet with the top 200 metal albums of 2012 I can look at? Because my year end list only has 16 albums on it, and they're not all metal.
It's always far easier for me to make a list of the top 50 shows I saw this year.
― Nate Carson, Tuesday, 27 November 2012 23:58 (eleven years ago) link
I know stoner doom riffing isn't a big thing for most of you, but as I've been relistening for end of year list making I've fallen for the self-titled Mendozza album pretty hard. It's perfect Fall metal, thick and meaty sounding. And the singer doesn't sing enough to detract from the riffs.
― EZ Snappin, Tuesday, 27 November 2012 23:59 (eleven years ago) link
There is always Rate Your Music, Nate, if you're REALLY into European prog power stuff.

NUMERO TO RELEASE LP BY PROTO-METAL PRODIGIES MEDUSA UNHEARD 1975 ALBUM FROM CHICAGO SOCERER METAL ACT MARKS FIRST STEP INTO UNCHARTED TERRITORY FOR ACCLAIMED REISSUE LABEL HEAR A SONG AND READ MORE AT DECIBEL: http://www.decibelmagazine.com/featured/streaming-medusa-strangulation/ Chicago's reputation will forever be tainted by the horn-ravaged corniness of their eponymous band. Medusa's First Step Beyond could have forever altered the perception of Chicago rock history had it managed to make the leap from tape to its destined vinyl pressing. Instead, this mish-mash of Sabbath, Hawkwind, and Amon Duul II remained petrified in the Corycian Caverns, or rather the drummer's basement. Self-produced on four track in 1975, the sole transmission from Medusa's repertoire appeared on the extremely mysterious Pepperhead label, whose proprietor allegedly disappeared after a bad trip and has never been seen again. Housed in cushy mock-velvet and screened in blood red and gold, and art directed from the band's elaborate original stage props and artwork, we have positioned this unreleased opus to finally reach its destination: the turntables of pot-smoking teenagers, young and old. The Medusa reissue, due February 12th, marks the venerated reissue label's first foray into the outer reaches of proto-metal, scuzzball garage, frazzled psychedelia, and spit polish glam that will be rolling out throughout the calendar year, including a companion compilation to First Step Beyond due Fall of 2013.
