So far it is , well at least for me. The new Nightiwish , Accept , Grand Magus , Sabaton , Xandria , Dragonforce (normally not that big of a fan but i love TPW) , Firewind , Epica , Eluveitie , Moonspell (mixed reviews about that one but personally i like it even if not as good as Night Eternal , Allegaeon , Sigh ect and i won`t name them all because...well you get my point :cool:

. All good to great albums

Dunno about the Black scene but the power/symphonic/heavy are on a roll in 2012. Melodic death have the new Allegaeon which is fucking kick ass. :dio:

.

Now i fear that i may find the rest of the year a bit lacklustre since there has been so many hits already but who knows ? What else is coming out this year ?

Strong list, and I completely agree with Lost in the New Real. I already loved it, and it is still growing on me.

Yeah, it's excellent. I love Arjen's voice.

Totally agree about 2012, and the best part is that it's only June. Absolute killer releases from Iron Fire and Lanfear, and still strong releases from Suspyre, Dol Ammad, Freedom Call, and a few symphonic bands I mentioned in another post.

Almost too much music, as I'm still digesting great late 2011 releases. You'll not hear me complain.

Now if only Lost Horizon could give us something... I could die a happy man.

Musically, It's has been a good year. My three favorite bands all putting out classic material. There's a pair of Rhapsody related BS coming out this year. Plus all the stuff from last year I missed.

Van Halen out, Fiona Apple in.
Her latest (The Idler Wheel Is Wiser Than the Driver of the Screw and Whipping Cords Will Serve You More Than Ropes Will Ever Do) really is an extraordinary machine. :wub:
