GMD Poll: Top Ten Albums of 2009
- Thread starter no country for old wainds
- Start date

Shrine Maiden of the In-Crowd
Damn, the album that would have been my #1 for sure is a 2008 album. Swore that Freedom Metal was a 2009 release, but oh well...
honestly its not the most objectionable list we're likely to get posted here, Animals as Leaders is dog shit but other than that its either good or whatever.

If Vektor - Black Future is not at the top of your list (or on it at all) you should be questioning yourself as a metalhead. It's the clear best album of 2009 with no doubts in my mind.

It's great to revisit and include albums missed. Though I'm biased since I didn't participate and couldn't scrape 10 together at the time. Maybe now that 2009's come up you could throw in 2010, and then when that comes up, throw 2011 in etc. Once we've done the other 20+ years we'll be craving your next thread like a carton of chocolate milk anyway.

I can finally get to revisiting some albums from this year after this move I had to do. I can definitely see this being one of those years where there is a pretty large consensus for more than a few albums.

I listened to Black Future today. It's pretty great, way better than my rather negative friend ratings on RYM had led me to expect. Transporting in a way most thrash metal isn't. Will definitely make my list. That said, my #1 for this year is set in stone... or set in a timeless monolith of hate, if you will.
What do they dislike about it? The vocals? Because that was something I heard a few people take issue with but they were never an issue for me.

Have you heard Nokturnal Mortum's The Voice of Steel from this year?Great album and I can't imagine you not liking it. It's missing from too many lists already.

Oh shit, didn't know Engram is from 2009. It was so low on RYM I didn't get to it. Have to add it to my list immediately.

Gabriel is definitely better and shows how far retro-tech-thrash bands are from their fathers.

I really liked Black Future when it came out, but tech-thrash was never really my favorite and I've grown less fond of it. From a tech-thrash perspective it's great but I don't play it often and I'm not going to list albums that don't get played simply because of some technical proficiency.

Black Future's problem is that half of the older songs on the album are rather plain thrash metal with just the Vektor aesthetic on top. You could easily cut Asteroid, Hunger for Violence, and Destroying the Cosmos, lose nothing, and gain a more efficient 50 minute album.
