SOOOO 2009 has come and gone. We've enjoyed spectacular throwbacks from long time friends, such as Slayer and Megadeth as well as albums seemingly from out of nowhere from unexpected sources like Oranssi Pazuzu and Procession.
We've nominated what we feel to be the strongest contenders in each sub-genre, we have provided you with the tools to help you check out the contenders. Now it's up to you. We are looking to you to help discern the best of the best.
So cue up your myspace player, roll up your sleeves, and unclog your eardrums, it is time to check out the best of 2009's best in the MS Awards.
18:49 - InnerSelf @Troy Killjoy: we like diversity now we will be doing a "Dew-similar" demo then we will be recording an Exterme Doom album
18:32 - Troy Killjoy You're welcome. Listen to Ahab's debut for reference, as your vocal style seems fit for a heavier/darker style of doom. That, or have the guitar sound more drawn out, so that they compliment your pitch.
18:30 - InnerSelf @Troy Killjoy: Thx man we will see what we will do when we start recording the Demo which is really soon
18:26 - JayXsnoogans i think the vocals do match the music...but theyre a little high in the mix
18:25 - Troy Killjoy Although the ending makes up for the first few minutes. Everything just seems to flow better in the final minutes. If you capture the atmosphere in those moments throughout the entire song, you've got a great track on your hands.
18:21 - Troy Killjoy @Innerself: The growls (?) don't fit the music in my opinion, and it seems sketchy at points (2:30ish). Good bass work though.
17:52 - InnerSelf My band has just released a new song [link] tell me what you think
