TOO SOON? KELLHAMMER’S BEST OF 2012 … SO FAR!

Already I can’t stop listening to and thinking about a bunch of 2012 albums. It’s been a crushing half-year: Crusty blackened death. Depressive doom. Multiple eargasms! So don’t get behind on the grind, cuz still to come is another six months’ worth of 2012 could-be classics. For now, ready yourself with this year’s best so far (in alphabetical order for my sanity!):

• Asphyx Deathhammer (Century Media)
• Black Breath Sentenced to Life (Southern Lord)
• Christian Mistress Possession (Relapse)
• Evoken Atra Mors (Profound Lore)
• Lord Mantis Pervertor (Candlelight)
• Marduk Serpent Sermon (Century Media)
• Mutilation Rites Empyrean (Prosthetic)
• Obolus Lament
• Pallbearer Sorrow And Extinction (Profound Lore)
• Woods of Ypres Grey Skies and Electric Light (Earache)
