Best of 2009

I know I am probably leaving out some worthy candidates, but these are what I think have been my favourite new albums of 2009. Just off the top of my head, so I may need to add some supplementries if I forgot the good ones LOL Do you know yours yet?

These are in alphabetic order because I couldn't choose definitively who ranked who...

Alexisonfire - Old Crows / Young Cardinals

Bat For Lashes - Two Suns

Be'lakor - Stone's Reach

Bertie Blackman - Secrets and Lies

Chimaira - The Infection

Gossip - Music For Men

Isis - Wavering Radiant

Karnivool - Soundawake

Mumford & Sons - Sigh No More

Placebo - Battle For The Sun

The Whys

I live and breathe music. It is very rare for me not to be listening to something... and that is normally when I am with a friend and it's impolite for me to keep my earphones in ;-p

My music tastes tend to run towards metal (I seem to gravitate towards Death Metal and Melodic Death Metal but i love all subgenres..) and industrial, but my tastes are quite ecelectic, so you will see some indie, folk, post-rock, punk, and whatthefuck featured in this blog. If you have any reccomendations for me, can you please make them here?

I tend to share links, thoughts, videos and lyrics at my various blogs, and decided instead to share them here.... While I may still post them at other blogs, I will be posting them here mostly. I will post any music related discussions here and will also have a current playlist linked.

THE NAME
"From A Whisper To A Scream" is a novel written by Charles de Lint (published as Samuel M Key, because it was to scary & violent for some of his fans). I think it really encapsulates my taste in music. It starts soft, maybe some folk music, gets a bit louder, throw in some rock and indie, and suddenly its a scream - death metal, hardcore, industrial, thrash etc. It also describes the sounds you get out of a guitar... lightly strumming acousitic strings gives you a very soft whispery sounds, shredding an electric gives you screams. Quite apt, dont you think? \m/. (^_^) .\m/
