If 2008 was my Year of Prog, with Enslaved, Cynic, Ihsahn and Opeth all featuring highly, 2009 was the Year of the Instrumental. No less than our of this year’s Top Five are mostly instrumental records. Excuse the lack of blurb but the hour is getting late and I want to be rid of this list quickly, even if it is [i]very[/i] much overdue. I’ll come back and add some more content at a later date!

4. Katatonia – Night is the New Day
