| April 2012 In Music
My favorite albums released in April | | 1 |  | Hawk Eyes
Ideas | | 2 |  | Torche
Harmonicraft | | 3 |  | Author & Punisher
Ursus Americanus | | 4 |  | Brad
United We Stand
Poignant, yet infectious alt rock from Seatle. The act's most consistent album since seminal Shame. | | 5 |  | High On Fire
De Vermis Mysteriis
I've never been a huge fan of Oregon stoner metallers, but this disc is impressive. An outlandish, sick concept built upon massive riffs. | | 6 |  | Killing Joke
MMXII
Post-punk legends expand their musical palette a bit crafting their most stellar collection of songs in almost a decade. | | 7 |  | Dead Sara
Dead Sara
A vibrant hard rock debut from a band fronted by two women. Whether it revolves around rebellious girl power anthems or catchy power ballades, the song craft is always stellar. | | 8 |  | You Slut!
Medium Bastard
It's not on par with their amazing debut, but still You Slut! remain an original math rock band that focuses on constantly evolving short songs. | | 9 |  | Mares Of Thrace
The Pilgrimage
These two Canadian ladies fuse relentless sludge with hardcore punk to great effect. The Goat Thief is a highlight. | | 10 |  | Jack White
Blunderbuss
Classy, well conceived record that disappoints a bit due to its lack of standout moments, except Love Interruption. | | 11 |  | Ancestors
In Dreams and Time
Los Angeles-based band develops their hybrid of doom, stoner, and psychedelic rock to satisfying effect. | | 12 |  | Cancer Bats
Dead Set on Living
Canadian hardcore punk band that records the same album for the 3rd time. Yet, their songwriting is as stellar as ever. Such hard-hiting tracks as RATS, Bricks And Mortar, Old Blood and Drunken Physics are all worth the price of admission. | |

What the heck? Wrong artwork for 9. | Wolfhorde
05.06.12 | Gotten my hands on 1 not too long ago, still have to evaluate it though. Torche was expectedly good. Will probably have to check out some of this though. | greg84

05.06.12 | Didn't know Brad released a new album, I'll have to check that out | greg84
05.06.12 | Yeah. I prefer Satchel to Brad, but this record is really good.
Fixed the artwork of 9. Yay. |
