Most Anticipated Albums of 2009

good list. i remember reading that there wont be another alcest album for a little while. he wants souvenirs to completely sink in, so who knows how long that will take....imo im ready for new alcest right fucking now! (said in a mean voice)
Yeah that comment was ringing my ears when I wrote it. One can hope.
 
Most of the ones I'm looking forward to have already been mentioned....Dream Theater, Katatonia, Porcupine Tree, Steven Wilson.

But I'm also really excited about the upcoming Heaven & Hell (Sabbath with Dio) album. And if Kenneth R is correct and Peter Gabriel manages to release something in '09 that would just send me over the top. He may not be metal, but I'm a HUGE PG fan.
 
Hopefully Saturnus will release next year as well. They're writing for a new album so let's hope that means an album isn't too far behind.
 
hordes of chaos was mediocre. time waits for no slave, on the other hand, HOLY WOW. better than smear campaign.

on a sidenote, awaiting the next dso full-length as well as mastodon's "crack the skye"
