Up and coming! | 1 | | Orphaned Land The Never Ending Way Of ORwarriOR
Don't really like the title at all, but this band released one of the best albums of the decade in Mabool, and if they do release this this year it'll be amazing, I've got no doubt. | 2 | | Eluveitie Evocation I - The Arcane Dominion
Apparantly this is a pure folk album, well, I'll be wanting to give it a listen anyway. This band's grown on me recently. | 3 | | Wyrd Kaliv?gi
One of my favourite bands, I just love all of their material. Simple as. | 4 | | Wintersun Time
I thought the s/t was overrated, but it was still pretty great. I'm hoping this improves on it. | 5 | | Circle Takes The Square Ritual Of Names
No idea if they will release it this year, but if they do, chances are it would be awesometastic. | 6 | | Obliterhate Blessing in Disgust
New death metuhl band featuring Dan Swano on vocals along with some other awesome musicians, I'm horny for this band to release some teasers. | 7 | | M?negarm Nattv?sen
Just a really good band, this should be solid at least. | 8 | | Drudkh Microcosmos
Never got into this band quite as much as I should have, hopefully this helps. | 9 | | Souldrainer tba
Really liked the band's last effort, even if it did grow off me. Unfortunately, they lost their singer, and I loved his voice, but this should still be solid hopefully. | 10 | | My Own Grave Necrology
Really great thrashy death metal band, deserves more recognition. Hopefully this album gets them that. | 11 | | The Project Hate MCMXCIX tba
Got a good feeling about this. Their last album practically dominated my listening while I was on holiday, and they've just got something about them. This could be big. | 12 | | Miseration tba
Bring on the death metal, Christian Alvestramm's [sic] best band, this better be rape me. | 13 | | In Vain Mantra
Great band, debut was unbelievable. Let's see what the follow up is like. | 14 | | Flies Are Spies From Hell tba
Their last ep blew me away, really love this band's dynamics. Post rock awesomeness. | 15 | | Be'lakor tba
The clips that I have heard are ace, bring this bad boy on. | 16 | | Gwynbleidd Nostalgia
Amaranthine was awesome, hopefully this follows in it's footsteps and brings the win. | 17 | | Insomnium tba
Have a good feeling about this one, Insomnium never really grabbed me as much as they should, this could change that. | 18 | | Mono Hymn to the Immortal Wind | 19 | | Amorphis tba | 20 | | Kalisia Cybion | |
Crimson
01.09.09 | 20 - It's not technically out on an album yet, and have you SEEN the packaging these guys have got? It looks amazing, and I can't wait to read the lyrics. | BallsToTheWall
01.09.09 | Is 1 correct? Ending Way Of ORWarrior? 1,2,4,6 although Dan Swano is getting overrated with associations to mediocre bands, 8,9,15,17,18, and 19 are on my to do lists. Dark Tranquillity and Primordial are also releasing new albums this year. | Mikesn
01.09.09 | That's what it's called
New Wintersun is never coming out maan
Didn't know Dark Tranquillity was coming out with a new album, should be good. | krazytom
01.09.09 | wheres cannibal coorrrrrpssee | Crimson
01.09.09 | Dark Tranquillity and Primordial too? Oh sweet. | BallsToTheWall
01.09.09 | I have a recent-ish issue of Decibel with each month in 09 with each album that is supposed to be released. I'll shed some light.
Goatwhore
Killswitch Engage
Mayhem
Necrophagist
Immortal
My Dying Bride
Chthonic
Deftones
Lacuna Coil
Chthonic supposedly
Poison The Well
Hypocrisy
Primordial-Post Summer Or Fall

Case in point, 2009 will be a moster year for metal, as if 2008 wasn't we can always count on the next year being prime for metal.

01.09.09 | As soon as Cybion is out for pre-order I'm on it. The price won't matter. Can't wait for new OL, Manegarm, and mostly everything else on this list. I was actually planning on doing this type of list soon. | ninjuice
01.09.09 | Balls is probably the only other person in these comments looking forward to Paramore.
Eluveitie doing just folk sounds quite awesome. | Poet
01.09.09 | I can't get through 20 to save my life. I onlyl isten to like the first 15 minutes.
big YES to Primordial and Dark Tranquillity. I am looking forward to Wintersun and new Diablo Swing Orchestra this year too.
Most of my best of 08 albums came out of nowhere for me anyways, and the ones I was looking forward to were a bit disappointing (In Flames, Children of Bodom) | elephantREVOLUTION
01.10.09 | I want new CTTS soooo bad and I have only been listening to them for about a year. I can't imagine how long some of you have been waiting for it. It better come out this year or some shit is goin down | Electric City
01.10.09 | new mono appears to be fantastic | Yazz_Flute
01.10.09 | if 4 doesnt come out this year im gonna be so fucking pissed | jingledeath
01.10.09 | 2009 is going to rock my socks off.
dude now we both have joker profile pics lol and I was going to use that same pic after I was done with the graphic novel but I guess you beat me to it. | BallsToTheWall
01.10.09 | Hell yeah, Paramore. Good call Ninjuice. I hope they follow down the "Decode" route. | Douchebag
01.10.09 | I'm personally excited to hear Green Day's new album to see how they progressed. and Iron Maidens new one. | FistfulOfSteel
01.10.09 | looking mega-forward to 1, 4, 6, 12, 13, 15, 16, 17, 19 and 20, as well as those revealed by Balls and fireaboveicebelow: KSE, Necrophagist, Hypocrisy, Katatonia, WITTR, Mastodon, Chimaira and DT. 2009 looks niiiiceeee | Jim
01.10.09 | the packaging for cybion is sickness | Crimson
01.10.09 | haha jingledeath, yeah, sort of got interested in the joker now. he's pretty ace. anyways, Hypocrisy, Nahemah, and Katatonia? Man, 2009 could rape 08. | foreverendeared
01.10.09 | you need to switch it to a picture of joker from Arkham Asylum graphic novel. Dave McKean is a genius.
oh and 20 rules. can't wait for 3,5,17,19 and pretty much every one Balls listed | OllieS
01.10.09 | looking forward to 19 |
