DevilDriver Pick Their Top Albums Of 2009
Dez Fafara and Mike Spreitzer weigh in with their favourite albums of the year!
Every day from now until Christmas, we will be revealing a different band/member of a band’s top albums of the year.
Here is Dez Fafara and Mike Spreitzer’s top albums of 2009! (Note: We know AC/DC came out last year, we just didn’t have the heart to tell them.)
Alice In Chains- Black Gives Way To Blue
Dez: Great to have a new record from one of the greatest bands in history .
Mastodon- Crack The Skye
Dez: Unreal band both live and on recording. This is killer. Plus there all great dudes.
Behemoth- Evangelion
Dez: Fuckin’ heavy metal Poland style! Great people and great players.
Megadeth- Endgame
Dez: One of the best records Dave has ever put out! From start to finish a Winner!
Thy Will Be Done- In Ancient Of Days
Dez: Heavy / hardcore / metal … They’re great live and onstage when J says “We listen to Sabbath and Slayer! We don’t care if you don’t “! It gets me every time lol
Slayer- World Painted Blood
Dez: Holy fuck! It sounds more punk influenced! First song is 2 min 40 sec of punk fucking rock! I love it !
AC/DC- Black Ice
Dez: The best band in the world just can’t do it wrong! Turn this up for sure!
Rammstein- Liebe Ist Für Alle Da
Dez: Little bit like the older stuff. Mike says “much better than the last 2 records” Live, they Kill!





Black Ice? Come on, it came out last year… and imo, AC/DC’s albums suck. The singles are always great, but they can’t make a full album to save themselves, save for maybe Back in Black…
cor first slayer now ac/dc lol! what bands do u actully like?
Megadeath- Endgame
Dez: One of the best records Dave has ever put out! From start to finish a Winner
Surely you mean Megadeth
Megadeath. Who the hell are Megadeath? It’s spelt Megadeth forgod sake. It says in this months issue of Hammer that is one of the top 10 metal things you shouldnt do. E.g 5 – Not like Black Sabbath
4 – Not Like Iron Maiden
3 – Not spell band names wrong (MegaDETH)
Haha, Davies, they had that in their mag as a metal faux pas, well Metal Hammer, you have been owned by your own laws! For shame, for shame.
more love for behemoth
davies and qmeister:
:-D:-D
great list,for the first 4 and last one atleast,would have had The Incident in there myself along with them
Behemoth have to be one of THE most underrated bands…
Fuck yes Slayer and Megadeth amazing albums
not to forget Behemoth love it.
Best albums of 2009 –
Alice In Chains – Black gives way to Blue
Slayer – World Painted Blood
Kreator – Hordes of Chaos
Megadeth – Endgame
Steve Wilson – Insurgentes
Isn’t the first song on World Painted Blood like 6 minutes long ?
mikethegerman: I agree about Kreator! Not sure why Hordes of Chaos is so underrated really, it’s superb. Really stands up alongside Black Gives Way to Blue and Endgame, my favourites of this year.
And on a non-metal front, Breaking Benjamin’s Dear Agony is another great 2009 album. Not to mention Muse’s restistance. overrated, but still fantastic!
FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH!
wheres the love for 3 inches and devil wears prada?
Another good year for metal!
Keep em coming!
XD
five finger death punch, epica design your universe.. Just two for my top 10.
Fucking awesome list, Though Black Ice came out last year. But I defo agree with Black gives way to blue being in there, and Evangelion and Endgame.
Slayer was OK.
MEGADETH blows. The new album is f***** EPIC.
Best album of 2009.
ALICE IN CHAINS BEST ALBLUM BY FAR!!! glad there playin again!
grrreat list! might differ on megadeth and rammstein, but “to each their own” people
KUDOS on the THY WILL BE DONE making that list! great band, great people! they KILL live…even kill goats live!!!!
DD makes my ‘09 list!

Easily in the top 5 metal releases for 2009! Don’t be modest!
