Shit I enjoyed this year (Part 2)

More great stuff from 2010. Did you miss Part 1?

Former Hellacopters guitarist Robert Dahlquist's rock heroes Dundertåget made their best album yet with Dom Feta Åren Är Förbi, Howl proved themselves to be the brightest new star on the sludge sky, Norway continued to show their might with Kvelertak (who mixed Turbonegro with Converge) and Mongo Ninja (who mixed Turbonegro with Darkthrone), Alcest made the third best French black metal album of the year, and Torture Division was yet another proof that no one does death metal better than Swedes.

You normally won't catch me dead listening to emo but Switzerland's Pure Soundart released one hell of a debut album, U.S. Christmas' trademark space rock meets post metal meets The Afghan Whigs sounded better than ever, and The Dillinger Escape Plan spastic math/prog metal was as irresistable as always.

British postrock collective Crippled Black Phoenix are in a league of their own though and deserve a special mention. They probably made the best album of the year with their unbelievably majestic I, Vigilante. I'd say it was a tie with Basia Bulat's Heart Of My Own which I named the album of the year on my non-metal blog.

This is where I'd link to that post if Blogspot hadn't gotten a complaint regarding copyright infringement and removed it. In case you missed that post and wonder what my top 5 non-metal albums of 2010 were:

1. Basia Bulat - Heart Of My Own
2. Kate Rusby - Make The Light
3. The Tallest Man On Earth - The Wild Hunt
4. Woven Hand - The Threshingfloor
5. She & Him - Volume Two

With honorable mentions such as Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Dungen, Isobel Campbell & Mark Lanegan, Johnny Cash, The Posies, Roky Erickson, Rome and a few others.

But enough of that, back to the heavy stuff. Enjoy:
