Yep, talk about upcoming releases for this year.
I'm looking forward to new albums by:
Burzum
Glorior Belli
Nevermore
Agalloch
Atheist
Also hoping for some possible new Deathspell Omega, Wintersun, and Control Denied.
Hmm. I'm looking forward to Burzum, of course. Blind Guardian, too. I have a feeling that Armored Saint's release will be the best by a veteran band, though. I don't have very high expectations for Decapitated, but I wouldn't be terribly surprised if they put out something good. Beyond that, I don't even know what bands are expected to release something this year.

Woah. Tell me everything.
I'm hoping really hard for a new Gojira record.
And Powerglove

I am hoping for at least one decent metal band to tour NZ rather than all the akon and other bollocks we have been getting.

Decapitated and Behemoth will both be in NZ, IIRC.
EDIT: Yeah, I missed Matt's post. They will indeed.
Behemoth is not something I want to go see, decapitated sounds interesting from what wikipedia has to say.
Behemoth are awesome. You should feel bad.
Well reading the description of their sound and lyrics makes me think otherwise, if I knew people who listened to them I would probally borrow some before passing judgement but I dont so meh.
Wait what. Behemoth has awesome lyrics.

You seem to forget my absolutly fucking aweful taste in metal.

Tbh I always felt weird about Behemoth's lyrics. While they are really complex and original, it's sad they are so hard to understand. They are really abstract too, I mean when I hear a song named 'Christians to the Lions', I expect to hear about an megalomaniac emperor throwing Christians in an Arena, not "rise me! rise me high! Lead through the gates ov sun !"
Now they ARE pretty cool, just really hard to catch. But that maybe because I never read The Book of Law, and not a lot of Lovecraft

.
I demand that you submerse yourself in Lovecraftian scriptures this instant, sir.

I dont see how you could since it is what you believe.
I'm gonna be really surprised if '10 is as good as '09. Hell, even just through Evangelion and Endgame. And I know there's some CD I'm forgetting that I got and loved that comes from this year...
EDIT: I forgot Liebe ist fuer Alle Da
