Song of the Year (2009)

[Zephyrus]

Might as well do this, since we have threads for both albums and songs that kick our asses.

Let's hear our favorite songs from 2009, since the best individual song may not necessarily come from the best album(s) of the year.

For me, I'll list my top three.

Beherit - "Axiom Heroine" (thanks Master Yoda for posting this on FB)



Katharsis - "Eucharistick Funereal"



Excoriate - "On Pestilent Winds"

 

[JGMetalhead]

Nothing more epic than raw black metal done so beautifully. And *BUMP* for Excoriate, that album is mad insanely awsome.

 

[Oblivious Maximus]

Heaven and Hell - Follow The Tears



Candlemass - House of 1000 Voices

 

[Lateralus14]

These are some songs that got several plays apart from playing their respective albums:

Alcest - Circe Poisoning The Sea
Asphyx - Black Hole Storm
Beherit - Demon Advance / Axion Heroine
Blut Aus Nord - Disciple's Libration / The Meditant
Grave Miasma - Arisen Through the Grave Miasma / Amorphous Noumenon
Gungfly - Crimson Coloured Negative
Katatonia - Forsaker / Idle Blood / Nephilim / Departer
Katharsis - Sinn Koronation / So Nail the Hearts
Mono - Ashes In the Snow / Follow the Map
Mournful Congregation - White Cold Wrath Burnt Frozen Blood
OSI - Stockholm
Siena Root - We Are Them
Stabat Mater - Triumph of Genocide

I would probably give it to "Disciple's Libration", "Follow the Map", "We Are Them", or "White Cold Wrath Burnt Frozen Blood" right now (that last one is pretty disjointed but I still love most of the parts)

I really need to listen all the new death metal for another round or two. I've only listened to Excoriate and Ignivomous once and Funebrarum just a few times. Didn't care for Slugathor that much but I should try that again too.

[Addo_Of_Nex]

Beherit- "Demon Advance" takes the cake and usurped "Sadomatic Rites" of the "Best Beherit song" title.

 

[Srontgorrth]

Cobalt - Arsonry

and

The Ruins of Beverast - I Raised This Stone as a Ghastly Memorial

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

My two favourite songs in 2009 were Stalker by Fall Of The Idols and AJ Shout VC by Sacriphyx, both are truly phenomenal.

 

[ArneZ]

Sooo easy...

"Katatonia - Idle Blood" also any other song off that phenomenal album.

Coooooool.....

 

[Crapples]

My two favourite songs in 2009 were Stalker by Fall Of The Idols and AJ Shout VC by Sacriphyx, both are truly phenomenal.

Ordered that Sacriphyx/Stargazer split last week... seriously can't fucking wait! If it doesn't arrive tomorrow I will rage.

I'd like to add: Trench Hell/Assaulter - Sadistic Messiah/Beware the Wounded Beast.
