My top 3 Albums of 2009 so far, metal and non-metal:
Alien Vampires - Fuck Off and Die
So far the best I've heard.
Others I've enjoyed.
My Dying Bride - For Lies I Sire
Listened to it, and am somewhat disappointed but it may grow on me. Either way, it's My Dying Bride so I still enjoyed it.
Richard Christ - Richard Christ
For fans of Marilyn Manson, style-wise it's closest to Mechanical Animals. It's pretty good.
Other albums I've checked out and thought were alright or didn't really care much for. Albums by: Lamb of God, Fen, Cannibal Corpse, Vreid, Deathstars (how disappointing), The Arrival of Satan, Techny-Call X, Blut Aus Nord, Narath, Gothmog, Obszön Geschöpf.
