Progressive-ish rock from the country that invented gyros and anal sex. What else is there to say really?

Madam X’s Top 10(ish) of 2012
We’ve really enjoyed having Madam X on board the H.M.S. AMG this year and we hope she keeps her necro, dominatrix self around for a good long time! Here are her thoughtful picks for Top Ten(ish) albums of 2012. Read and rejoice!
Things You Might Have Missed 2012: So Much for Nothing – Livsgnist
Madam X feels like 2012 was a weak year in the depressive, suicidal black metal department. This unheralded little disc from So Much for Nothing helped her get through without having to torture small animals and such, for which we are all thankful.
Angry Metal Guy’s Top 10(ish) Songs of 2012
In our first of many lists, we will focus on the greatest songs from the year 2012. I started this last year because I thought it was important to point out that just ’cause a whole record isn’t amazing doesn’t mean there aren’t moments of brilliance even on the most banal of records. This year, I’m happy to say many of the best songs are from very good records, but that’s not true across the board. Instead, I’ve compiled songs that have forced me back to them again and again, like some sort of Angry Metal Obsessive Compulsive. Over and over I have listened to these songs and I’ve narrowed it down to the 10(ish) that I think really stand out from the year 2012. I’m assuming no one will agree with me. But hey, who has the eponymous website? Yeah, that’s motherfucking right, bitches.
Steel Druhm’s Top 10(ish) Songs of 2012
It’s the holiday season and Steel Druhm is here with the gift of “best of” lists! This time it’s the best songs of 2012. There’s some great stuff here so reflect on the year, fill yourself with holiday cheer and let the tunes kick you in the rear. Pat. Pending.
Things You Might Have Missed 2012: Killing Joke – MMXII
Killing Joke has had a long and strange career. Through trends, hard times and trauma, they kept the music flowing and the ideas weird. F.A.G. is here to give you a window into their latest opus, MMXII, which seems to use Roman numerals properly.
Things You Might Have Missed 2012: Nightmare – Burden of God
Steel Druhm will never be your beast of burden. Bourbon maybe, but never burden! Anywho, you might have missed a pretty nifty power metal album called Burden of God by French act Nightmare. Steel doesn’t want that to happen.
Things You Might Have Missed 2012: Marduk – Serpent Sermon
This post has been removed because it promoted Nazi or Nazi-adjacent metal bands or musicians. We apologize.
Things You Might Have Missed 2012: A Forest of Stars – Shadowplay for Yesterdays
We sent Madam X to join the very exclusive gentlemen’s club founded by A Forest of Stars. She fit in better than expected and now we can’t get her to leave. At least she left us with this here review.
