MetalStorm Awards 2009

'Twixt gallons of coffee and oceans of beer, I have found the time and inclination to put together playlists for Metal Storm's 'Best albums by genre' awards. Spotify's coverage of some of these genres is woeful, to say the least (Grindcore and Extreme Doom especially so) but that's to be expected with underground independent metal at this stage.
