Here we present what we at Infernal Masquerade think have been the most unconventional and visionary releases of 2012.
10. So Much for Nothing – Livsgnist (2012)
|
|
At first we categorized this release more with Black Metal, but with its brilliant neo-classical passages and super depressive category we think it better fits this genre-bending list |
||
9. Sichelstein – Sichelstein (2012)
|
|
Depresing Gothic Rock with plenty of Shoegaze-ish elements |
||
8. An Autumn For Crippled Children – Only The Ocean Knows (2012)
|
|
Excellent mixture of Post-Black Metal with Shoegaze and a whole lot of ambient elements |
||
7. Closed Room – Closed Room (2012)
|
|
A seemingly straightforward Post-Rock/Shoegaze release that has some weird trip-hop elements is a perfect fit for this list |
||
6. A Forest of Stars – A Shadowplay for Yesterdays (2012)
|
|
This British ensemble delivers another dark trip into their weird and aggressive theatrical musical style |
||
5. Stagnant Waters – Stagnant Waters (2012)
|
|
Mind-blowing Avant-garde stuff from Norway |
||
|
|
Excellent modern Ulver-esque release from this one-man project |
||
3. Diablo Swing Orchestra – Pandora’s Box (2012)
|
|
Everytime we listen to a new DSO album we are reminded of how awesome and bizarre they are |
||
2. Alcest – Les Voyages de l'Âme (2012)
|
|
Less Black Metal and more trippy ethereal stuff make this album a very unique musical experience... it even makes you feel good after a few songs! |
||
1. Sigh – In Somniphobia (2012)
|
|
Completely crazy and totally awesome, Sigh keeps delivering very weird releases and "In Somniphobia" is not an exception |
