Starting a list for this, considering going to shows is quickly becoming my new favorite hobby. It's a quite small list, but I expect it'll grow pretty quickly.

Listing my most anticipated albums of 2012 here to make sure I don't lose track of any of these releases. I might add ratings after having listened to these albums, or just do a general list of my favorite 2012 albums at the end of the year. This list will be primarily doom, stoner, sludge, psychedelic and heavy rock oriented, with a few exceptions here and there. Note that this list is a work in progress. It's a bit all over the place and definitely incomplete, I will arrange these by genre and/or release date later on, and add a myriad of albums I've forgotten.

The list:

Ice Dragon - Tome of the Future Ancients
Saint Vitus - Lillie: F-65
Astra - The Black Chord
Ancestors - In Dreams and Time
Horisont - Second Assault
King Giant - Dismal Hollow
Orange Goblin - A Eulogy For The Damned
Pale Divine - Painted Windows Black
Down - Down IV
Pallbearer - Sorrow and Extinction
Stone Magnum - Stone Magnum
I Saw the Deep - Astronavigation

Heavenly sucks, and their latest album proves it, but I have to give credit where credit is due. Carpe Diem: Best power metal album art EVER!
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/f/f3/Heavenly_-_Carpe_Diem.jpg

Artists I could almost like, but don't:

Anathema
I've spent years trying to like Anathema, but I don't think it's ever gonna happen.

Angel Witch
To dislike this band may be considered blasphemy among the heavy metal devout, but try as I may I am simply left feeling unimpressed after every listen.

Apostle Of Solitude
Riding the wave of trendy stoner doom.

A Storm of Light
Irritating vocals spoils their otherwise enjoyable sound.

Autumnblaze
I find the singer's accent too distracting to be able to enjoy this band.

Bishop Of Hexen
Exceptional symphonic black metal, though I've matured to the point where the whole corpse paint & hail satan thing is a bit of a turn off.

Blackfield
I tried really hard to like this band since their eponymous track is quite catchy, but I just couldn't do it.

Get it here....
