Neofolk/Dark Folk Of The Non Metal Kind
Neofolk/Dark Folk Of The Non Metal Kind
I'm going to start building a list of all the Neofolk/Dark folk albums that I like. These are specifically non-metal albums that I often go back to when I'm in the mood to listen to something lighter.
These albums still have a dark feel, you won't find typical neofolk here like Current 93 or Death In June, as they don't have that dark vibe to me.
What I particularly find cool is neofolk albums that are made by black metal bands like Ulver, these aren't that easy to search for on MS

:Of The Wand And The Moon:
- The Lone Descent
One of the reasons I started listening to more neofolk. The album is fantastic and I discovered it because he was previously in Saturnus

2.
Thrawsunblat
- Great Brunswick Forest
I love this album and it's one that made me curious to find more like it, it still has that black metal vibe, but maybe that's all in my head
|
3.
Thrawsunblat
- Live Off The Forest Floor
This is such a cool album, after hearing this it made me hear the previous black metal albums in a different way, as these are folk versions of many previous Black metal songs, barring the repeats from Great Brunswick Forest that are already follk. I must have listened to this 30+ times
|
4.
Ulver
- Kveldssanger
Not much to say here, some like it some don't. Current day Ulver has way moved on from anything black metal or neofolk
|
5.
Nest
- Agalloch / Nest
One that I first heard just because Agalloch. It's very much on the Ambient side and it's pretty cool, but I'm yet to give more albums from Nest a go
|
6.
Nest
- Trail Of The Unwary
I forgot this one! I've heard this full length from Nest quite a bit, but unfortunately it's not yet on Spotify, otherwise I'd listen to it more (edit: it is there now)
|
7.
The Moon And The Nightspirit
- Ősforrás
Probably one of the most pure neofolk bands here. This one I found the best of their releases.
|
8.
Drudkh
- Пісні Скорботи I Самітності (Songs Of Grief And Solitude)
Takes quite a few listens and the production is pretty poor for a folk release.
|
9.
Panopticon
- ...Scars II (The Basics)
Panopticon has a very strong folk influence in it's black metal. This album is an acoustic version of CD 2 of The Scars Of Man On The Once Nameless Wilderness. Very addictive
|
10.
Winterfylleth
- The Hallowing Of Heirdom
I've only heard this a few times, but it was quite good. Needs more listens
|
11.
Grai
- Млада (Mlada)
Ok this one has some metal, but it's not on every track and not the primary sound. A pretty cool band that I've only just started listing to when I made this list
|
13.
October Falls
- Marras - Eight Hymns For Sheol And Nature
A bit like if Agalloch was just acoustic guitars and no vocals. A nice find, I'll need to explore the other albums
|
14.
Chelsea Wolfe
- Hiss Spun
This could have been one of many albums by Chelsea Wolfe, but so far this has been my favourite. Definitely a lot of darkness in her music, and very enjoyable when in the right mood
|
15.
Dornenreich
- Hexenwind
This was a surprise, I'd heard In Luft Geritzt quite a few times, which I liked, but it was a bit on the boring side. This is a lot more upbeat and very enjoyable
