xp I'm basing that on getting the tape ish of 'Cthonic Rites' by Moss, on the same label, for possibly as little as £3 from a distro here

the only metal albums on my best of '09 are Buried Inside, Cattle Decapitation, Defeatist & Blut Aus Nord and I don't expect the Buried inside to make the cut
very boring year for metal imo

J0hn - weren't you talking up the Bloody Panda a few months ago? (I don't feel like scanning the thread to check)
It finally sees release next month so the rest of us will get to hear it. I have high hopes.
― EZ Snappin, Saturday, 11 July 2009 18:27 (fourteen years ago) link
oh that's right is that out? totally not bein' that guy it's just that I got to hear it really early, sometime late last year, and it slips my mind. but yeah it's great, will make my overall '09 list easy.
― worm? lol (J0hn D.), Saturday, 11 July 2009 18:32 (fourteen years ago) link
Gnaw is probably my favourite metal-related release of 09 but not actually that metal so ehhhhh. New Nachtmystium EP is good I think. Cobalt and L'acephale (see Gnaw - black metal band not kicking out a lot of BM) are good. Loads of stuff I've not heard obv

and there's a new havohej coming, that could be good
for the most part though practically everything is like zzzzzzzzzz this shit is giving stagnation a bad name

the blut aus nord is still (BY FAR) the best metal record I've heard this year. so much stronger than TWWTG that it's not even funny.
and yeah, I'd agree, not too many other standouts this year.
― original bgm, Monday, 13 July 2009 14:58 (fourteen years ago) link
thou are pretty cool too, yeah. I like that they host high quality mp3s of everything they put out + upcoming stuff + unreleased stuff on their site:

― original bgm, Monday, 13 July 2009 15:00 (fourteen years ago) link
More Thou vinyl due out soon I think
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Wednesday, 15 July 2009 22:43 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah, seems like it. I think that they have a bunch of splits due soon.
have you heard the sabbath covers lp? (through the empires of eternal void) have to say, I was a little disappointed. they don't really vary up the material much at all and what's up with 3/4 of the material coming from master of reality? a little lame considering sabbath have such a deep back catalog.
― original bgm, Thursday, 16 July 2009 15:28 (fourteen years ago) link
no, not heard about it.
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Thursday, 16 July 2009 15:33 (fourteen years ago) link
It was hella limited but you might still find copies. It's not Thou's crowning glory exactly but I enjoyed it fine enough
― Pissed Jenas (DJ Mencap), Thursday, 16 July 2009 15:36 (fourteen years ago) link
I have never bought any Thou because theres so much and it would cost me a fortune to get it all. Money is tight.
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Thursday, 16 July 2009 15:42 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah, there is a bunch. but in general, I've found thou stuff to be reasonably priced. they don't gouge like some bands do, anyway. maybe bc they're vegan punx.
― original bgm, Thursday, 16 July 2009 15:58 (fourteen years ago) link
anyway, it's cool that they have mp3s of their whole catalog right up on their site. respect.
― original bgm, Thursday, 16 July 2009 15:59 (fourteen years ago) link
there's a split coming with Salome that I will get.
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Thursday, 16 July 2009 16:43 (fourteen years ago) link
tbh i'm glad some of you who pay attention closer than i do are feelin the "boring year" thing. i like the blut au nord but haven't listened to it much, and the kylesa album is really good. i guess i will check out yob too, but that's about all i've been really into from 09.
― north sea jazz dit weekend (call all destroyer), Thursday, 16 July 2009 17:12 (fourteen years ago) link
I haven't found it a boring year at all
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Thursday, 16 July 2009 20:07 (fourteen years ago) link
Baroness,Orthodox,Om will be joining Mastodon in this years top ten I think.If we run a metal poll at the end of the year that is -- depends on the interest.
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Friday, 4 September 2009 00:22 (fourteen years ago) link
The Baroness isn't a million miles away from Torche (neither was the last album mind you)

― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Tuesday, 13 October 2009 20:42 (fourteen years ago) link
Going down the list till I got to something on Spotify I hit Opeth. As someone completely ignorant of this, I assume band, what do I try o Kerr?
― Samuel (a hoy hoy), Tuesday, 13 October 2009 20:54 (fourteen years ago) link
I dunno, never cared for Opeth. LJ is a fan I think.
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Tuesday, 13 October 2009 20:57 (fourteen years ago) link
LJ is no more though :(
Went with Minnie Riperton instead. Metal can wait, I'm only young.

When should we open nominations for the 2009 poll?
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Monday, 16 November 2009 19:42 (fourteen years ago) link
Not much longer to go in the year, are there any big releases to come?

There's a new Mudvayne album three days before Christmas. That's about all I know about.
― neither good nor bad, just a kid like you (unperson), Monday, 16 November 2009 20:19 (fourteen years ago) link
I suspect that that isn't going to get a ton of votes.
― Van Slyke Paidbreed (J3ff T.), Monday, 16 November 2009 20:30 (fourteen years ago) link
I was thinking about starting the voting on jan 1st. So how long do you want for a nominations process?
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Monday, 16 November 2009 20:45 (fourteen years ago) link
A couple weeks should suffice. Maybe start nominations around December 15 or so?
