Best Of 2009 So far

The new Blut Aus Nord, Candlemass, Wolves in the Throne Room, Peste Noire and a few others, so far '09 has been kick arse.

The latest PESTE NOIRE is just freaking awesome....
When I heard it for the first time, I was like - WOW what is this music?
Dirty, rotten, heavy with fuck-off-ya´ll attitude and BOOM I already have my favorite for year 2009.
Can´t imagine what CD could top it.

It´s surely not going to be everybody´s cup of tea, but people ... check new Peste Noire CD called "Ballade cuntre lo Anemi Francor"

PS: Blut aus Nord´s latest is also a very listenable CD and I think I´m getting more and more into the French scene these days.
Some talented guys at work there!!!!

Church of Misery - Houses of the Unnholy is so far number one.
Beherit - Engram can also be a number one, I have not yet heard of the disc.

Everything you say is the truth, your my kind of metalhead \m/

Pylon- Dooom is probably my new favorite for 2009 so far. But there are just so many great releases this year.

So far:

Kreator - Hordes of Chaos
Church of Misery - Houses of the Unholy
16 - Bridges to Burn

I second Pylon right now.

So far The Devil You Know by Heaven and Hell.

Tribulation, Maim, and General Surgery are definitely up there for me so far. among many others.

The best things that come out by now are Heaven & Hell's The Devil You Know and the new Karl Sanders record "Saurian Exorcisms". Waiting for the new Nile and Megadeth albums !

Kreator - Hordes of Chaos, no doubt...

nice variation, I need to give the new Blut Aus Nord some more spins. I always really like the albums but I tend to let them fade a bit

Magrudergrinds new album is damn solid. Don't know why I hadn't listened to it until now.

I would be awesome if you could upload it?
Can't find it anywhere.

Kreator's new album is great
Dream Theater's new album is also really good
Tenet- Sovereign is sounding pretty good on first lesson, Gene Hoglan on drums and Steve Souza on vocals, so you know it's gonna be good.
Heaven and Hell- The Devil you Know was a pretty solid album as well

the new Glittertind is the best out of the few album i enjoyed this year
