2009 was another interesting year, musicwise. I moved more towards styles like post metal and post rock and discovered a lot of such bands (Callisto, Irepress, No Made Sense, Gifts From Enola, Russian Circles).

At the same time it was also fantastic year regards progressive/avantgarde/experimental black metal as there were superb albums from Reverence, Klabautamann, Oranssi Pazuzu, Semen Datura, Code.

And then there were numerous great instrumental albums from Exivious, Animals as Leaders, Kong, If These Trees Could Talk, Ozric Tentacles.

Somewhat disappointing compared to their previous albums were: Porcupine Tree, Secrets of the Moon, Irreversible, Ghost Brigade, A Storm of Light.

The best positive surprises compared to their previous albums were: Indukti, Mastodon, Isis, Karl Sanders, Minsk.
