Terrible Certainty Presents: The Best Metal of 2012

The Christmas season:   the time we’re all busily making our lists and checking them twice, pouring over release dates and stacks of albums, wringing our hands over the precise ordering…  That’s right, it’s end of the year list time (which seems to come earlier each year), and I’m happy to unveil Terrible Certainty’s inaugural list of the best albums and EPs of the year.  So without further ado, here’s the year’s best metal.  Get busy buyin’ or get busy dyin’.

Come Back Down

Nola Lords Down are set to return after a too-long layoff since 2010’s Over the Under.  If these two tracks are any indication, they’ve not collected any rust.  “Misfortune Teller” is impressive enough, but “Witchtripper” is an absolute ace.  Gonna be a long wait until September.
