Even with an amazing year of releases behind us, it's hard not to start looking ahead to what 2012 might bring. The promise of a new Van Halen album looks good, Rush has promised Clockwork Angels will see the light of day in early 2012 and the chances of a new Tool album happening -- well, your guess is as good as ours, but we think it'll happen!
While all of the below bands haven't necessarily confirmed a release for 2012, all have been rumored to some degree or another. That said, we're asking you -- the Guitar World readers -- what album you're most looking forward to in the new year.
