It's the year Two Thousand Fuckin' Ten and I have the hangover of the decade (literally).
Where's my hoverboard and flying cars, robots, and space travel?
At least we still have a plenitude of booze. Also, music.

Any of them sludge-y Electric Wizard-like doom?

The only album on my list that is even doom metal of any kind is the Stabat Mater one, which is really bleak funereal death/doom-awesome, but maybe not so much your thing. Beyond that, I can't say I've heard a lot of recent doom. The Jex Thoth s/t came out in '08, and that is pretty excellent female-fronted Sabbath worship. The Acid Witch album was pretty fun, too, but that's more of a wonky/krauty death-doom thing.

Gotta admit, though, that I haven't listened to a lot of guitar music of late and I think death metal might just be a bit too grating for these old ears at the moment. I guess I go through phases.

I haven't heard that other one at all though, so I will have to check it out.

I think I might be able to make a guess at what you don't like about the new Nazxul album. It sounds like a super-polished Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk ripoff. "Ripoff" is a bit strong, but maybe it doesn't appeal to you because it's mere simulacra. I think it's still a decent record, but I was hoping for something much better.
Come to think of it, I have the feeling that I won't be listening to so much music in 2010, which I find sort of depressing. But it'll be a good thing-I'll be busy with important stuff.

I had no idea there were upcoming Deathspell, Morbid Angel and Walknut albums! Excellent. I really hope Agalloch actually deliver. A couple of people on Last.fm were claiming that Belus leaked, but I highly doubt it...

I've been into Drudkh since Autumn Aurora, myself. It's not like this is the first time they've changed up their sound-Blood in Our Wells actually pretty much ties with Autumn Aurora for my favorite of their albums, depending on mood/season/etc. But yeah, Microcosmos is still Drudkh, and still a good album, but not quite up to par with their very best. Which is still better than a hell of a lot of shit.
That Walknut has actually been rumored for about a year and a half now, so I'm not entirely sure what's going on with that. But I remain hopeful.
Hmmm, I probably need to listen to that Destruktor album again. Along with Weapon and some other things that was one of the many albums I played once and just never went back to.
