Independence Weekend Poll: Best Up-and-Coming American Metal Band

It's America's birthday, so what better time to celebrate the next generation of American metal? Here are ten highly regarded up-and-comers, some of whom have gotten major attention in the last few years, while others are still known primarily to diehards. Whatever the case, I want to know who you think is making the best metal in America in 2009. So vote for anybody on the list below, or complain in comments that I ignored your favorite band. And Happy Fourth of July Weekend...try not to blow yourselves up, 'cause there'll be more metal on Monday!
