I'm torn between From Afar and In The Constellation Of The Black Widow.

Everything I say is just my opinion, get over it!

It isn't 2010 yet and Manegarm's Nattvasen hasn't been released yet.

But I will make a short list anyway:

Askival - Eternity

Wodensthrone - Loss

My Dying Bride - For Lies I Sire

Glittertind - Landkjenning

Wardruna - Runaljod Gap Var Ginnunga

Fen - The Malediction Fields

Ensiferum - From Afar

I've yet to get Gorgoroth's new album so that may be in there soon.

Edit: I also want to add Tyr's By The Light Of The Northern Star

J.R.R. Tolkien wrote:
Gandalf stroked gently the hair on the head of the monstrous Balrog. It felt thick and completely natural, nothing like a wig, because as we all know, wigs are for lesser beings. The Balrog seized its struggling and glanced deep into the eyes of his opponent, its horns moving gently up and down the chest of the wizard, much like some gruesome phallic symbols. It was as if time itself had stopped and the fighting couple were now frozen in the air. "Gandalf," The creature started,"I think I love you." Gandalf remained silent as they fell down deeper, heading towards the inevitable crash. "Hold me, baby." He whispered to the ear of the Balrog. And thus they fell, in embrace, surrounded by the flames of the Balrog, a symbol of that brief moment of passion they shared.

Anaal Nathrakh - In The Constellation Of The Black Widow
Lantlôs - Lantlôs (came out in 2009 here...)
Drowning The Light - The Blood Of The Ancients
Gorod - Process Of A New Decline
Ulcerate - Everything Is Fire

That's about it. I can't think of any more excellent titles. I'll just list some other decent albums since I can't think of any that are truly exceptional.

Drudkh - Microcosmos
Behemoth - Evangelion (it was good compared to Demigod and The Apostasy )
Fleshgod Apocalypse - Oracles
Swallow The Sun - New Moon
Devourment - Unleash The Carnivore

Felt this year was kinda weak. Fleshgod Apocalypse had a good debut album, but it really wasn't anything that we haven't heard before. Belphegor's new album was pretty disappointing too.

EDIT: Wow I can't type tonight. EDIT 2: I can't count. It's getting late here I should go before I realize I screwed something else up. EDIT 3: Damnit! Forgot Ulcerate's Everything Is Fire...great album.

Does "Black gives way to blue" count as a metal release? If so then I'm going to have trouble picking again .
