It being February I figured I should post my 2011 list before it gets too far into the year. As usual there were a few great releases (Solstafir, Thy Catafalque, Esoteric, Terra Tenebrosa) that I didn’t find out about and get to hear until recently, and several others like Deafheaven, Mitochondrion and Falls of Rauros that may make the list once I actually get around to listening to them.

Here are Musical Warfare’s favorites from 2011:
