Best Year For Metal This Decade

[Dak]

Pretty straight-forward poll. It's close enough to the end of 2009 to include this year.

Edit: No Year 0 arguments.

 

[Lateralus14]

Went 2008 for The Maniacal Vale, Graves of the Archangels, Darkspace III, Melancholie2, etc.

I went with 2002 although it was a tough choice. 06,08, and 09 have all been good as well.

Off the top of my head I'd vote '04, for Dark Tribe and DSO's releases.

I'm thinking 2004.

 

[Eligos]

Vote for it, I'm lonely.

 

[Avigrus]

2009. This year has been fucking great.

 

[divine_torture]

I don't fucking know. I can't remember what was released in what year. Especially 8-9 years ago. It's different with stuff 20 years ago because I learned when they released.

really, anything other than 2001

Seriously hard stuff, nearly every year had some incredible albums. Possibly 2008 due to Graves of the Archangels.
