Top 10 2009 Thread

[cookiecutter]

Should have a top 10 up on Slam-Minded soon, but like Zeph I need to catch up on a few releases. Pathology, Devourment, Human Rejection, and Gorepoflesh will certainly be on the list though.

 

[IntoPhagist]

I forgot about Insomnium, It wasn't nearly as good as Above the Weeping World so I kind of forgot about it..I think I'll order it, so I can finally get into it.

 

[divine_torture]

This will likely change, but as of right now:

1. Katatonia-'Night Is The New Day'
2. Devourment-'Unleash The Carnivore'
3. Archgoat-'The Light Devouring Darkness'
4. Bastardator-'Identify The Dead'
5. Katharsis-'Fourth Reich'
6. Absu-'Absu'
7. Awaiting The Autopsy-'Couldn't Tell The Bodies Apart'
8. Ignivomous-'Death Transmutation'
9. Aosoth-'Ashes of Angels'
10. Gorepoflesh-'Gore Fucking Corpses'

nothing else has made it worthy...not sure if im missing anything. Just got Grave Miasma and Ascended this week and probably will add Asomvel/The River/FUneral Circle if it ever is in stock somewhere!

 

[Evil?]

I have bought a ton of music this year (44 albums in just the last 6 weeks) and only 9 have been from '09, one not even being a metal album. I am never up on current releases. I think that will be my resolution for 2010. Buy enough new albums to make a decent top 10 list at the end of the year.

 

[challenge_everything]

I refuse to make a list until the END of the year.

 

[Lifewithoutpain]

Some stuff that was released in '09 that's been getting alot of play, in no order:

Nile - Those whom the Gods Detest
Obscura - Cosmogenesis
Gorod - Process of a New Decline
Behemoth - Evangelion
Ulcerate - Everything is Fire
Sickening Horror - The Deadend Experiment
Lost Soul - Immerse in Infinity
Fleshgod Apocalypse - Oracles
Despised Icon - Day of Mourning
Centaurus A - Side Effects Expected

 

[Anticitizen One]

Teitanblood — Seven Chalices
Katharsis — Fourth Reich
Portal — Swarth
Arckanum — ÞÞÞÞÞÞÞÞÞÞÞ
Peste Noire — Ballade Cuntre lo Anemi Francor
Drudkh — Microcosmos
Mono — Hymn to the Immortal Wind
Rome — Flowers from Exile
Tenebrae in Perpetuum — L'eterno Maligno Silenzio
Grave Miasma — Exalted Emanation

I have yet to hear the new Master's Hammer album.

 

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

I have no fucking idea.

 

[Eligos]

I'd like to make this decision in like... maybe 8 months or so. My views on Microcosmos and pbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbth change every time I listen to them.

And who knows how many albums I've missed?

 

[The Ozzman]

My list is tentative right now as I gave NITND another listen and it's slowly growing on me. I also plan on asking my girlfriend or someone else to get me the new AiC album as well, so I have about 2-3 more albums I plan on getting before the year is out

Immortal (good I guess)
Rudra (god dammit I need this!)
Suffocation (decent/good)

so as you can tell. Im way behind.

 

[Black Mourning, Good Friday]

Im very far behind. I have no clue what today's new metal albums are like. I was bothered that I didn't see Oceano's album Depths up here. There's gotta be at least a few people who enjoyed it, right?

 

[The Ozzman]

Oh shit, I need to get the new Immortal. I completely forgot about that one!

 

[Einherjar86]

It's pretty fucking awesome.

I don't actually know of anyone here who likes Oceano in the slightest.

 

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

I was under the impression no one actually liked them at all.

 

[Black Mourning, Good Friday]

I fucking love them. I have a bunch of friends who love them too. You guys are too proper I guess.

And the new Obscura album. Fan-fucking-tastic.
