Rest in peace.

Now that we're more than half way through with 2012, Noisecreep finally decided get a list up of our favorite albums released so far this year. As you'll see below, the list includes everything from veterans of the Bay Area Thrash scene, to younger underground bands...

In the last few months, no other album has gotten as much love on the Noisecreep stereo as Black Breath's Sentenced to Life.
