The first six weeks of 2010 have exposed me to three metal albums from last year that I really wish I had heard in time to mention in the metal paragraph attached to my Top Albums of ‘09 list. They’re all so good that I’ve decided to dedicate a new post to their public exaltation. So here you go: fans of metal, please treat yourselves to The Great Cessation by Yob, Gambling on the Richter Scale by Kowloon Walled City, and the fabulously-titled Dimensional Bleedthrough by Krallice. All getting a lot of attention from my ears lately, and all acting as a perfect complement to the dismally wet miasma that is February in Portland.

I don’t think I’m going to bother with a Top 100 Songs of the 2000s list. Too much work. And you all already know how I feel about “All I Need” and “Kim & Jessie.”
