Continuing my top music from 2009 are a couple bands that are a bit of an acquired taste, Agoraphobic Nosebleed and Sunn O))).
Agoraphobic Nosebleed is an amazing thrash band, most songs clock in at ~1 minute and the lyrics are either obscene or roughly about Doctor Who.. I love it, but a lot of you won’t :)
Sunn O))) is probably even harder to get into. They play ~15 minute long drone metal songs, with chanting, choirs, and loud distorted guitar drones. I also love this, but it takes a special kind of music lover to appreciate it. Hopefully there’s somebody out there that agrees with me about how awesome this album is. Their 2009 album, Monoliths & Dimensions is their most accessible, but that’s not saying much.
