MetalSucks Readers Select Periphery II: This Time It’s Personal as The Best Metal Album of 2012

We asked, you answered: by an unbelievingly overwhelming margin, Periphery’s sophomore effort, Periphery II: This Time It’s Personal has been chosen by MetalSucks readers as The Best Metal Album of 2012. Congrats to the dudes in Periphery on winning the hearts and minds of Suckalos everywhere! Other popular choices — although none of them received nearly as many votes — included Gojira’s L’Enfant Sauvage, Between the Buried and Me’s The Parallax II: Future Sequence, and Cattle Decapitation’s Monolith of Inhumanity. All great choices, if you ask us!
