The start of a new year also brings several new reviewers to About.com. In addition to my reviews, you'll be reading the perspectives of many other notable metal writers. January gets the year off to a relatively strong start. There was only one CD that received a 4.5 out of 5 star rating, but there were a bunch of four star CDs. The month's top five includes death metal, grindcore, Viking metal, thrash metal and doom metal. Check out my picks for January's best, then post your comments and lists below.

Kreator has delivered by far the best cd of the month, maybe even of 2009 already. It’s crushing, and in my opinion there are no fillers on it.
The presence of Kreator and Cattle Decapitation in the list was expected.
These 2 bands received positive reviews this months from many webzines.
I heard Hordes of Chaos 3 times already, and frankly i don’t think its that great, despite some powerful songs like “Warcurse”, “Amok Run” and “Demon Prince”.
Its amazing to know that this album was recorded live in studio, but still it(in my opinion) doesn’t deliver that punch in the stomach like the previous album did.
