Tietanblood - Seven Chalices (2009)

Pure barbaric, filthy Death/Black Metal from Spain. Definitely one of the best metal albums of the year and probably of the decade.

Whore Mass

Krallice - Dimensional Bleedthrough (2009)

You probably already know them or at least heard the hype surrounding them, bunch of fags like Marston and Mick Barr, I'm one of those fags who love them and think they are Black Metal.

Fuck the purists!

Liturgy - Renihilation (2009)

Better than Krallice? Might be, fucking awful artwork but the music total makes up for it, some of the best drumming I've heard in a Black Metal album.

Blut Aus Nord - Memoria Vetusta II: Dialogue with the Stars (2009)

Stunning album, probably their best record to date.

Elevation to the stars
