OFF! - OFF! (2012)
Decent, abrasive, retro-sounding hardcore punk. Can definitely hit the spot, depending on mood, and at a shade over 15 minutes in length, what have you got to lose?
CONVERGE - ALL WE LOVE WE LEAVE BEHIND (2012)
Never bothered with Converge, so this album was my first. While it may not be entirely my thing, I was rather impressed in places. Good enough for me to go backwards with their discography now, and probably start with Jane Doe.
SIGUR ROS - VALTARI (2012)
Another album I've put off and now wishing I hadn't. I wasn't too sure what to expect, didnt particularly have high expectations, and while it may not be as good as () and Takk, it's beautiful.
SLOMATICS - A HOCHT (2012)
Not as straight forward sludge/doom as previous efforts, which is what I was expecting. On first listen it seemed to be more minimalist in places. Definitely gonna get another spin very soon.
