This year, I will try to listen to less music more. That is, I won't go out of my way to hear and list every possible album I sort of dig on the first spin, and the ones I do include I aim to know thoroughly. A lot of the albums I include tentatively will probably get deleted, too. Without further preamble, interesting albums in no particular order:

1.Owen Pallett - In Conflict

2.Menace Ruine - Venus Armata

3.Pallbearer - Foundations Of Burden

4.Jenny Hval & Susanna - Meshes of Voice

5.Tuomas Henrikin Jeesuksen Kristuksen Bändi - Käkkyrällään

This right here is a list of metal songs that, for some reason, contain Satan's favorite instrument: the banjo. The intent behind this list is mostly to highlight bands that do not usually utilize a banjo and decided to spring one on unsuspecting listeners, so I'm not going to include every single song by the assuredly dozens of folk metal bands whoso picketh þe banjo with regularity, but one or two representative songs from such artists would probably be fine.

1.Children Of Bodom - Lookin' Out My Backdoor (CCR cover)

2.Æther Realm - Redneck Vikings From Hell

3.Taake - Myr

4.Mastodon - Divinations

5.Sonata Arctica - Cinderblox
