August Burns Red - Constellations

For The Fallen Dreams - Relentless

The Color Morale - We All Have Demons

 

[Wolfeman]

Toss up for me between Alice in Chains and Devin Townsend....

Usually I'd have a metal CD listed as my favorite for the year, but I suppose I'm getting tired of the same carbon copy crap that just keeps coming out these days...

 

[LeSedna]

Devin Townsend - Ki

Song of the year and you have to agree : Supercrush by devin townsend again

 

[P-E]

Album of the year for me is Cybion by Kalisia for sure.

edit : Can't believe I'm alone for this.

 

[egan.]

Mastodon - crack the skye
Katatonia - Night is the new day
Karnivool - Sound Awake

 

[ConspiracyBass]

He Is Legend - It Hates You

Theres more, but not worth mentioning compared to the new HIL (IMO of course!).

 

[colonel kurtz]

Behemoth - Evangelion.

i was wondering how far down the page i would have to scroll to find this one!!

 

[jangoux]

AIC's.

Worst album was KSE. There's a couple of nice songs, and even them start to annoy after a while.

 

[Morgan C]

Lamb of God - Wrath (altho gets rather repetitive, Reclamation saves it)
Paramore - BNE
Emery - In Shallow Seas We Drown
Lisa Mitchell - Wonder (Australian so most probly won't know)

A really shitty year for metal. Evangelion was alright but not my cup of tea.

 

[Unavailable]

GOOD:

Despised Icon - Day Of Mourning

+1

 

[johnny_syko]

Darkest Hour - The Eternal Ruin
Oh, Sleeper - Son of the Morning
Dethklok - Dethalbum II
It Dies Today - Lividity
Red - Innocence and Instinct

 

[lolzgreg]

[sebastiandean]

Emery - ...In shallow seas we sail
And the new Hatebreed.

 

[Torniojaws]

2009 pretty sucked.

That

But there were a few excellent albums worthy of a mention:

Katatonia - Night Is the New Day
Waltari - Below Zero
Rammstein - Liebe ist für alle da
Heaven and Hell - The Devil You Know

Then a few decent albums which I don't foresee lasting the test of time:

Scar Symmetry - Dark Matter Dimensions
Devin Townsend - Addicted!

Biggest disappointments:

Cannibal Corpse - Evisceration Plague
Samael - Above
Nile - Those Whom the Gods Detest
Karl Sanders - Saurian Exorcisms

And finally some albums which I need to listen to more before deciding (but promising so far):

OSI - Blood
Beherit - Engram
Arckanum - ÞÞÞÞÞÞÞÞÞÞÞ
Mumakil - Behold the Failure
Oranssi Pazuzu - Muukalainen puhuu
Vomitory - Carnage Euphoria
Arthemesia - a.O.a
Kylesa - Static Tensions

 

[Harry Hughes]

1.Katatonia - Night Is the New Day

2.Between the Buried and Me - The Great Misdirect
3.VersaEmerge - VersaEmerge (self titled EP)
4.Paramore - Brand New Eyes

New Slayer was atrocious.
New Killswitch Engage was disappointing.

 

[Harry Hughes]

One Hundred Steps - Human Clouds
Long Distance Calling - Avoid The Light
Loch Vostok - Reveal No Secrets
Be'Lakor - Stone's Reach

Avoid the Light, the best post rock album of 2009
