2009 METAL - OFFICIAL THREAD

Really like what I've heard from the upcoming Abigor/Blacklodge split.
As for the Marduk release, that little bit of "Nowhere, No-One, Nothing" has got my expectations high.
Also saw that Amok is supposed to start recording a new album some time this winter.
Should be a pretty good year for new releases.
