Hardcore legend, Hatebreed frontman and all-round legend of a man, Jamey Jasta tells us his top 10 albums of the year! Get all previous top 10’s here!

Every day from now until Christmas, we will be revealing a different band/member of a band’s top albums of the year. Get all previous top 10’s here!

Here is Jamey Jasta’s top 10 albums of 2009:

10. Stigma “New York Blood” – This is a very under rated street punk/hardcore record that fans of Dropkick Murphys, Social Distortion & Discipline will appreciate.

9.  Suffocation “Blood Oath” – There aint no ballads on this bad boy. This will provide silly screamo/deathcore bands with funny hair tons of new ideas to rip off haha

8. Every Time I Die “New Junk Aesthetic” – This is a monster, these guys really brought their A-game. Wow. Total great progression for ETID!

7. Thy Will Be Done “In Ancients Of Days” – Blend some Sepultura and some crowbar and throw in a little lamb of gd this is a great metal release for 2009!

6. Megadeth “Endgame” – Say what you want to say about Mustaine but he’s put out a quality album here that I have been enjoying. Love ya Dave!

5. Cannibal Corpse “Evisceration Plague” – The follow up to the brutal and destructive “Kill” album this one slays. Techinical but still memorable and a full on assault start to finish oh and no ballads either

4. Behemoth “Evangelion” – This band always delivers, they will never deviate from the brutality which makes them a great and reliable band with true staying power. The whole package is incredible, their talent, the production, the imagery, everything. Transmigrating Beyond Realms Ov Amenti makes me want to commit a human sacrifice!!

3. Black Dahlia Murder “Deflorate” – Great to see this band outlasting the copycats and paving their own way, their riffs shred and their songs hit hard. This a great album that will have you headbanging and losing your mind!

2. Municipal Waste “Massive Aggressive” – Fun record from start to finish glad to see them stepping outside their comfort zone while retaining a fun and thrashy feel

1. Converge “Axe To Fall” – It’s like they took all the best elements of all their albums and combined them. It’s a massive, abrasive, in your face album of heaviness, shredding & vocal fury.

High-five to the Jasta on this one, he’s also given props to five albums that didn’t quite make his top 10!

1. Kreator “Hordes Of Chaos” – This band has staying power like no other! Great album

2. Ace Frehley “Anomaly” – I’ve been enjoying this album since the day I got it. Classic Ace, can’t believe it took 20 years haha and I think it’s better than Chinese Democracy

3. Doomriders “Darkness Comes Alive” – Nate’s done it again, this album rocks!

4. 3 Inches Of Blood “Up The Irons” – Another metal gem from Canada’s finest, thoroughly enjoyable.

5. Baroness “Blue Record” – It’s got heaviness, melody, stoner vibes, it’s raw and not overproduced which gives it character. I dig it.
