A revista norte-americana Decibel publicou sua lista dos 40 melhores discos de metal de 2009. Uma lista muito boa, principalmente, porque foge do comum e procura apontar o que aconteceu de melhor em diversos gêneros do rock pesado. Entre os destaques estão o ótimo CD do MASTODON ("Crack the Sky"), o stoner do KYLESA ("Static Tensions") e os experientes NAPALM DEATH ("Time Waits No Slave") e SLAYER ("World Painted Blood"). É, dessa vez, o Brasil ficou de fora...
