After much pestering, I've relented. Hope you folks are happy. Here is my Best In Heavy Metal 2010 list.

Those of you who are actually interested, feel free to comment, criticize, and suggest any albums that you may have heard that I might have missed in any of the heavy metal or hard rock genres. Also, feel free to post your Best of 2010 lists. There are so many things out there these days, that I know I missed a great multitude of things.

I'm open to any listening suggestions!

2009-Agonia Records

Dopo averci impressionato nel 2007 con il feroce e più che positivo debut album Unio Mystica Maxima, tornano nel 2009 i Malfeitor, band Black Metal Italianissima guidata da Fabban, mente già dei più sperimentali Aborym. Al contrario di come alcuni pensano, questo non è un suo semplice side-project meno sperimentale, ma una nuova e assai valida realtà estrema tricolore. Se l'album di debutto era composto da tracce violentissime e schiette, questo secondo episodio è più ragionato e maligno nei suoi attacchi, colmi di negatività e sofferenza. Con questo non voglio dire che sia meno violento…

Well, it's April Fool's Day, and I'm just now getting my Best of 2009 list up. Like last year, there seems to be a trend forming. Anyway, those of you who are actually interested, feel free to comment, criticize, and suggest any albums that you may have heard that I might have missed in any of the heavy metal or hard rock genres.

I'm open to any listening suggestions!

Also, if you are interested in other genres of music aside from heavy metal, feel free to visit my Best of 2009 journal entries on Neofolk / Martial / Dark Ambient styles, as well as my entry on Indie / Electronic / Etc.

Enjoy! :-]

1.)Katatonia - "Night Is The New Day"

Night Is The New Day is a rather controversial choice for my number one metal album, and in some ways it is out of place. It’s not exactly the most aggressive or original work they have released to date…
