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.
