2009 was a crazy year. There were so many (outstanding) releases
throughout the entire year that I could barely keep track. Also, 2009
was terrific for black metal and seeing how black metal is one of my
favorite genres, the one genre I most love to explore, read about and
discover new gems, I wanted to keep track of those albums that were
coming out most of all. And so, when 2009 slowly started to reach its
end, I wanted to check out if there was a black metal album that I had
maybe missed amidst all of the great madness of 2009. Naturally, google
junkie that I am, I tried to find a list of BM releases for that year,
but such a list was nowhere to be found. Sure, there were Wikipedia
music lists, Amazon users must buy lists etc., but nowhere did I
find a list of strictly black metal releases for that year. I found that
somewhat frustrating and so I decided to make a list myself for the
upcoming year of 2010 to make sure I don't miss anything. I also decided
to share it with you guys.
Now, the list I share with you here is in no way an entire list of
all 2010 BM releases, but primarily a list of BM albums reviewed on
Metal Review that had a tag black beside the review. The minority of albums that weren't reviewed here, I mostly picked up on while reading Invisible Oranges, Teeth of the Divine and Lurker. I also always double checked the album info, release dates and labels on Metal Archives.
The list includes ALL breeds and hybrids of black metal such as: post, progressive, industrial, symphonic etc.
The main criteria were the tags here on Metal Review and on Metal
Archives - if those two sites labeled an album as black, on the list it
went.
There's a total of 146 albums here with links to MR reviews,
if there are any, so just click and read, and hopefully you'll discover
something new or simply solidify your love for an album. Whatever you do
with the list, have fun. I sure did.

P.s. If you notice any mistakes in the list, feel free to PM me about it.
P.p.s. If you publish this list somewhere else, it would be very cool if you would post a back-link to this site.
Muchas gracias.
