Worthwhile Albums Of 2009

I liked a lot of non-metal albums this year but sadly I cannot include them here. Nevertheless, it was a great year for metal and here are my choice albums for 2009. None of them are in order but if I had to choose my number one pick would be for Fen or Blut Aus Nord.

1.Blut Aus Nord - Memoria Vetusta II - Dialogue With The Stars
2.Devin Townsend - Addicted
3.Mastodon - Crack The Skye
4.Ulcerate - Everything Is Fire
5.Fen - The Malediction Fields

Mai 2009 Top 20

Call me easily impressed or what, but 2009 has been an amazing year for metal releases for me. Being well into 2010, I had the chance to let everything sink in and the more memorable albums stand out more while certain release that had initially escaped attention could also be "auditioned". Having listened to over 230 releases, just narrowing down a list of top 30 has already been a challenge, but for an annual list to go over 20 kind of loses its purpose of recommendation, so I just tried even harder. At the same time, I allowed myself to cheat a little bit by using another list of overlooked albums and influential albums. Some that didn't quite make the cut: Bloodbound, Artillery, Delain, Fairyland, Dark Moor, Vomitory, Immortal, Paradise Lost, Amesoeurs, Skyfire, The 11th Hour, Process Of Guilt and Anaal Nathrakh

1.Thy Catafalque - Róka Hasa Rádió
2.Amorphis - Skyforger
3.Samael - Above
4.Sun Of The Blind - Skullreader
5.While Heaven Wept - Vast Oceans Lachrymose

This is the list of my favourite progressive metal/rock albums of the decade. I decided to do this list because a new decade is starting, so it's a good time to look back. Beware, this is not a "best progressive metal albums of the decade" list, it's my favourites, not necessarily the ones that were the best for everyone else or me.

1.Riverside - Out Of Myself
2.Porcupine Tree - In Absentia
3.Riverside - Second Life Syndrome
4.Porcupine Tree - Deadwing
5.Opeth - Blackwater Park
