: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 |
 |

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 |

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 |

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 |
 |

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 |
 |

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) |

The Moon And The Nightspirit - Ősforrás
Probably one of the most pure neofolk bands here. This one I found the best of their releases. |
 |

|
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. |
 |

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 |
 |

|
Winterfylleth - The Hallowing Of Heirdom
I've only heard this a few times, but it was quite good. Needs more listens |
 |

|
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 |
 |

|
Tenhi - Kauan
I'd listened to Tehhi's second album Väre quite a few times, but it never grabbed me. This one on the other hand I liked right away, it's quite a soothing/easy listen |
 |

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 |
 |

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 |
 |

|
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 |
 |

1476 - In Exile
New discovery for 2023, I really love the guitar strumming in this one. The vocals aren't fantastic (he can sing, but not to my taste, a bit poppy maybe). Good production |
