Seriously, what did you think it was going to be? Was there any doubt that Slayer's massively successful return to their classic sound would not, could not, be the number one metal album of the year? If you need more convincing read my full review of "World Painted Blood" here or check out "Beauty Through Order," which came in at number six for best songs of the year. In short; its Fucking Slayer, and they are so back.
Before I move on to another Best of 2009 category, I want to give a shout out and honorable mention to the following metal albums. If I had more time I would have posted a top 10 metal album countdown (maybe next year) and they would certainly have placed:
Black Cobra - "Chronomega" (Southern Lord)
Malkuth - "Sefirah Gevurah" (Hospital Records)
Immortal - "All Shall Fall" (Nuclear Blast)
Wormsblood - "Mastery of Creation" (Barbarian Records)
Wolves in the Throne Room - "Black Cascade" (Southern Lord)
