A little list of albums that have been kicking my ass as of late. Some albums on this list may appear to be "odd" choices, but "crushing" in this context does not necessarily mean heavy. It could be referring to the emotional intensity of the release or the literal heavy pounding sound. Hope you enjoy.

1. Esoteric - The Pernicious Enigma

2. Ahab - The Divinity Of Oceans

3. Agalloch - The Mantle

4. Warning - Watching From A Distance

5. Ulcerate - The Destroyers Of All

This is not a typical "Best of the decade" list. To be more precise, it's a list about the top 20 albums of each year of the last decade, in my perspective of course. In this way, a lot of good albeit overlooked albums can get some exposure, in addition to covering more ground at the same time.

1. 2009

2. Sybreed - The Pulse Of Awakening

3. Ghost Brigade - Isolation Songs

4. Porcupine Tree - The Incident

1. Rush - Counter Parts

5. Judas Priest - Painkiller
