Best ov Metal 2009

I love Coffins

Here is my tentative list, more or less in order:

Baroness - Blue Record
Mastodon - Crack the Skye
God Forbid - Earthsblood
Behemoth - Evangelion
Hacride - Lazarus
Kylesa - Static Tensions
Ross the Boss - New Metal Leader
Kreator - Hordes of Chaos
Novembers Doom -Into Night's Requiem Infernal
Slough Feg - Ape Uprising
Clutch - Strange Cousins from the West
The Gates of Slumber - Hymns of Blood and Thunder
Cable - The Failed Convict
Goatwhore - Carving out the Eyes of God
Iron Age - the Sleeping Eye
Candlemass - Death Magic Doom
Eluveitie - Evocation I - The Arcane Dominion
Cauldron – Chained To The Nite
Animals As Leaders - Animals As Leaders
Maylene and the Sons of Disaster - III

Since the aforementioned foldage of Metal Edge, my review sources have dried the eff up. So so far for me it's a small but powerful list that many of you will find corny as fucc:
Spinal Tap, Back From the Dead
Mastodon, Crack the Skye
OTEP, Smash the Control Machine
Saxon, Into the Labyrinth
Boris Salvodelli & Elliott Sharp, Protoplasmic
Speed Caravan, Kalashnik Love
Sonic Youth, The Eternal (wait no maybe not)
Radio Moscow, Brain Cycles
Prohrála V Kartách, KanibaLOVE
and Cheap Trick The Latest seconded but yeah probably not on some level

Okay, listening to the new Immortal this morning, and I'm thinking that this is definitely going to bump Maylene off the list.

I booked the Coffins tour this year and I liked them live a lot more than on album. Total party-doom.

That's a really good list, Jeff. I have to buckle down and finalize mine.
