2010’s Most Anticipated Heavy Metal CDs
8 out of 10 CDs on 2009’s Most Anticipated Heavy Metal CDs ended up being released last year. In terms of big names releasing new stuff, 2010 isn’t as strong as the past few years, but in terms of quality it should be another good year. Veterans such as Dimmu Borgir, Meshuggah and Nevermore have new CDs slated for release this year, along with up and comers like Landmine Marathon and Whitechapel. What CDs are you most looking forward to in 2010?
Best Heavy Metal CDs of the 2000s
Two bands dominate the list of the best metal CDs of the 2000s. Opeth topped the annual list three times in the decade, and Mastodon twice. Each band has three CDs in the decade’s top 20. Those annual lists from 2000 to 2009 were used to compile the best of the decade. 2007 and 2008 each contributed three CDs to the list, with many other years having two. The weakest year of the 2000s was 2003, with just one album appearing here, and not until number 13. Check out our list of the best metal CDs of the decade, and post your picks as well.

Actually, the album itself appeared on 14th December 79 -the US release is 5th January-, and a special 30th year anniverary edition just appeared on the music markets. I got it -I also got the original, 79 vinyl-, and I highly recommend it.
Oh, thank you for the info! How lucky you are, by the way.
