right, 2009 had My Dying Bride, Beherit, Ahab, Wodensthrone.... which I was going to list all of those until I realized they've been out for a while, still listen to them a lot.
Part of my problem is I'm still listening to 80s and 90s metal. There's so many great newer bands (especially in Germany it seems) that I'm out of the damn loop again.
I'm still patiently waiting new Vinterland and new Dawn.

Method Man, Raekwon, and Ghostface - Wu-Massacre
Extortion - Loose Screws
Red Sparowes - The Fear Is Excruciating, But Therein Lies the Answer
108 - 18:61
only 4 albums that come to mind that came out this year that I'm into
I guess I'm in the minority in stating that I thought Belus was a little disappointing. A good start for him not plying guitar for a while, and it makes me hope the next is better than Belus. Didn't like the vocals- they weren't excruciating like in then past.
Integrity and Burzum are definitely up there for me and I agree with Alcest and Nightbringer. I'd also add Watain. Really looking forward to the new Inquisition.
Zoroaster
High On Fire
Black Breath
Nachtmystium
Hour of 13
Apostle of Solitude
Probably a bunch I'm forgetting, but those were all really solid. Looking forward to the new Unearthly Trance, that should make the list based on what I've heard of it.
Hour of Penance - Paradogma
Defeated Sanity - Chapters of Repugnance
Alcest - Ecailles de Lune
Immolation - Majesty and Decay
...and more. Its been a good year so far.
Daughters - Daughters
The Body - All The Waters of the Earth Shall Turn to Blood
Fang Island - Fang Island
First Aid Kit - The Black and the Blue
Broken Social Scene - Forgiveness Rock Record
and I know this will be an unpopular choice, but my favorite record so far this year has been...

it's too bad you don't like this album more, i think so highly of it. His vocals are very different from the shrieking, but they are not far off from Filosofem at all. I think it's a good progression, I doubt he can even do those Hvis Lyset Tar Oss style sounds anymore, but there are parts in this album where you can hear him really getting into it.
Dodsengel "Mirium Occultum" wastes all. Instant classic.
"Belus" is a distant #2 thus far - half of it's great, half of it's garbage, but that's enough in a relatively weak year. New albums from Inquisition and Morbid Angel remain strong contenders. Watain was a disappointment. Nokturnal Mortem's effort was good but certainly not overwhelming. (Ditto new Immolation, Hour of Penance.)

Nokturnal Mortum and Alcest. Not a lot of good new shit this year. Shining also? maybe?
Not sure if it's 2010, but Silversun Pickups - Swoon. Yep, she's a gem.

D Maniac - "Obsessions"
Lantlos - ".neon"
Alcest - "Escailles De Lune"
Keep of Kalessin - "Reptilian"
Les Discrets - "Septembre Et Ses Dernieres Pensees"
Mekong Delta - "Wanderer on the Edge of Time"
Anxiously awating its arrival at the library where I work. Just got turned on to that band recently. Not sure why it took so long, but I'm glad I figured it out.
the new massive attack was really disappointing for me. haven't heard a lot of stuff this year outside of metal and electronic that really grabbed me. i've been listening to Sun Ra a lot but that didn't come out this year.

post by Ancient Master at Dec 19,2010 4:20pm
the new Twilight is good too
post by arkquimanthorn at Jan 3,2011 12:58pm
ah twilight has a new one, did not know.
I haven't heard the new Nokturnal Mortum, Deathspell, Slough Feg, or many others yet....but my favorites for the year are split between
The Meads of Asphodel - The Murder of Jesus the Jew
Ghost - Opus Eponymous
A Forest of Stars - Opportunistic Thieves
Darkthrone - Circle the Wagons
Autechre - Oversteps
Immolation - Majesty and Decay (no new Morbid Angel but this delivers just fine)
Tryptykon - Eparistera Daimones
Melechesh - The Epigenesis
which rise just above a lot of the rest of the mentions in this thread which are all good. while we complaing about how shitty music has become in general, 2010 was an amazing year for music looking back at it.
1. Deathspell Omega - Paracletus
Cloudkicker - Beacons
East of the Wall - Ressentiment
Castevet - Mounds of Ash
Periphery - Periphery
Jaga Jazzist - One Armed Bandit
Shad - TSOL
Sufjan Stevens - The Age of Adz
Converge put out one new track this year and it was pretty awesome, but obviously not enough to make anyones list.
I can't believe Polarity made anyones list, honestly. Couldn't stand that album, and I loved DBW and ATB.
excellent album, much better production than Death Triumphant. excellent guitar work, not boring drone with indecipherable riffs like majority of the "black" metal coming out now.
