Chalk another vote for "Endgame". It's almost like the re-birth of Megadeth and they needed it after "World needs a hero".

Endgame is definetly one of the best albums. Immortal - All Shall Fall, despite my slight dissapointment, is still very solid album. I cant think of any other good albums that were released this year, at this moment anyway...

 

[muza_1]

Baroness - Blue Record
Diablo Swing Orchestra - Sing-Along Songs For The Damned & Delirious
Exivious - Exivious
Oranssi Pazuzu - Muukalainen Puhuu
Paradise Lost - Faith Divides Us - Death Unites Us
Heaven & Hell - The Devil You Know
Bloodbound - Tabula Rasa

Have you heard the sample songs in their myspace site? IMHO they are far from promising...

I really liked Five Finger Death Punch's new album War is the Answer. If you can get over their ridiculous name you might like them. Most metal bands scream throughout the whole song which bugs me, FFDP mixes it up by switching between singing and screaming. If anyone knows of other metal bands that do this please let me know.

Diablo Swing Orchestra - Sing-Along Songs For The Damned & Delirious
Megadeth - Endgame

were my 2 favorites this year.

In my opinion, the best metal album released in 2009 was Nile-To Whom Gods Detest, especially for it's production. Insanely good sounding album.

Other mentions:
Megadeth - Endgame
Be'Lakor - Stones Reach
Amorphis - Skyforger
Converge - Axe To Fall

 

[invisiman]

Vektor - Black Future
Shadow Gallery - Digital Ghosts

First is awesome modern thrash (best I've ever heard), with stunning vocals. Second is a prog release, which reminds me of a blend between Dream Theater and (good) Queensryche, very easy to get into and enjoy.

Seconded, one of the best neo-thrash I've heard last year. There's very nice Voivod vibe (their logo is also a homage of sorts, IMO), with progressive stylings that don't go overboard. My favorite tracks are "Destroying the Cosmos" and the EPIC "Accelerating Universe"!

 

[jonhapimp]

Here's my favorites of 2009
Kalisia - cybion
devin townsend - Ki
Bloodhorse - Horizoner
Candlemass - Death Magic Doom
HDK - system overload
Be'Lakor - Stones Reach
Amorphis - skyforger
Isole - silent Ruins
Ahab - divinity of oceans
every time i die - new junk aesthetics
Horse the band - desperate living(not sure if they're metal though, Nintendcore???)
hypocrisy - a taste of extreme divinity
shining - VI - Klagopsalmer
Converge - axes to fall
Persefone - shin-kin
i have more favs but i'm lazy to find them
