Here we present what we at Infernal Masquerade think have been the most genre-bending Black Metal albums of 2012 that combine other genres to create completely awesome musical landscapes.

10. Eclectika – Lure of Ephemeral Beauty (2012)

Powerful fresh sounding music from France, quite an interesting musical experience indeed.

 

 

 

 

 

9. Downfall of Gaia – Suffocating in the Swarm of Cranes (2012)

Devastating and lush Cascadian-like Black Metal

 

 

 

 

 

8. Epitimia – Faces of Insanity (2012)

3-person band from Russia gets a top 10 position with their very unique musical magicl

 

 

 

 

 

7. Burzum – Umskiptar (2012)

Slowly drifting away from the traditional realms of BM, Burzum delivers a very exciting release in 2012

 

 

 

 

 

6. Blaze of Sorrow – Echi (2012)

Atmospheric brilliance from Italy!, almost as good as label mates Vowels

 

 

 

 

 

5. Winterfylleth – The Threnody of Triumph (2012)

Killer melodic passages make this furious BM release one of the best of 2012

 

 

 

 

 

4. Germ – Loss (2012)

Extremely cracked-out BM from Australia, showing that not everything under the sun has been discovered or done

 

 

 

 

 

3. Anaal Nathrakh - Vanitas (2012)

Complete aural rape thanks to their killer grindcore/BM combination

 

 

 

 

 

2. Ihsahn – Eremita (2012)

Bringing back some of the Emperor vibe, this release barely missed out of the top stop. Excellent album for any fan of elaborate Extreme/Black Metal

 

 

 

 

 

1. Enslaved – RIITIIR (2012)

Enslaved shows everybody who is daddy, with their brilliant progressive Black Metal work
