Blending dark wave, cinematic electronics and occult aesthetics, the band expands their sonic ritual with vocal performances from key figures in the dark alternative scene for their 7th album. Spiritualistic and occult practices are the common thread.
From pulsing waves of Doom & Stoner, decorative Rock and Prog to expanding glances into Folk spiked with Black Metal-esque sparks, "Skadi" creates another extraordinary venture, full of extreme metal and polarizing tension.

Arguably their starkest and sparsest work to date, "Eventide" is an audial rumination on the vast mysteries of nighttime, born from a desire to explore ethereal and progressive sounds with themes that reflect upon the rich ancient Scandinavian literature.

True to their style, which is coined by ethereal vocals, violin, acoustic guitar and percussion, The Moon and the Nightspirit appear nevertheless more mature and diverse than ever in terms of composition and instrumental arrangement.
With their 2005 debut album, the Hungarian duo at once created a niche of their own between Medieval Music and Pagan Folk, conceptually addressing the innocence of childhood, the power of dreams and the yearning for a golden age of the soul.
An impressive return, which finds the duo tapping further into their Hungarian roots, both lyrically and musically, resorting to ethnic instruments that add a more colourful and vibrant tone to their sound. One of the finest Pagan/Folk releases this year.
On their third album, "Ösforrás" - the “Source Pristine”, the duo embody on their new material a more tribal and exotic approach, in intense rituals dedicated to the old and eternal tradition, where World Music acquires a bewitching Pagan aura.
Creating otherworldly music built on the backs of multitudes of instruments and the beautiful, ethereal vocals of Tóth, The Moon... delivers its most impressive music to date.

The Revolutionary Army of the Infant Jesus (United Kingdom)
The sister-album to "Songs of Yearning". These pieces either changed enormously or that simply wouldn't fit into the main album. "Nocturnes" is perhaps more sprawling, less tightly-focussed than "Songs...", but these are more than mere outtakes.
Theodor Bastard carefully and masterly combine many different exotic and traditional instruments. The special northern atmosphere herein is created with Nordic nyckelharpa and jouhikko, primeval flutes created from tree roots and shamanic percussion.

His first studio album in seven years finds Tom Waits in possibly the finest voice of his career and at the height of his songwriting powers, from beautiful ballads to the avant cinematic soundscape.
A big departure from earlier works. Trading the piano for the guitar, Waits is getting rawer and bluesier and title track is a great example of this. This also contains one of his most popular songs ever, “Christmas Card from a Hooker in Minneapolis".
"Closing Time" foreshadows the distinctly lyrical storytelling and original blending of Jazz, Blues and Folk styles that would come to be associated with Waits. Newly remastered edition.
"Mule Variations" offers the most complete picture of Tom Waits of any of his albums. Edgy stomps, humor and experimentation are interspersed with some of his most beautiful and personal songs. Newly remastered edition, on 180 gram vinyl.

A gloomy personal mix between Dark Ambient and Drone, describing its haunting compositions as standstill timbres, a suite offaux kosmische orchestrals – or as pale moon music. Heavily ritualistic and organic, this is certainly a project to follow.
Progressive dark group Tvinna brings together one of the enchanting voices in pagan folk band Faun and the guitarist for Swiss folk metallers Eluveitie, and offers a logical consequence of their own visions and artistic concept.
A project by Tony Wakeford (Sol Invictus) and Gernot Musch (ex-Pilori). Warm, sensual acoustic guitar layers and two perfectly matching, haunting voices is all it takes to bring us back to the root qualities of European Dark Folk music. Lim. 250x copies.
A classic release, that would set new ground for the band. Following their Black Metal debut, "Kveldssanger" saw Ulver take on a fully acoustic, pastoral Folk orientation that would serve as inspiration for many to come. Essential.
Raised on a diet of classic Neofolk, Black Metal atmospherics and bizarre occultism, the Ulvesang collective set about crafting their first suite of songs, which ushered in a new wave of Canadian Neofolk.
Helvetic Black Metal deeply rooted in medieval lore and tales of pestilent witchcraft. Ten Walpurgis Black Metal spells that continue the band's trademark sound; fusing filthy, rustic Black Metal conjurations and occasional Folk instrumentation.

Ungfell's atmospheric Black Metal abducts listeners on a sonic journey detailing moral ambivalence and treachery, set in a seemingly idyllic rural village in pre-modern times. The story unfolds, accompanied by ravaging riffs and gripping songwriting.
"Totbringaere" brought forth the most hideous pestilence in the form of frenetic riff work and melodies of medieval death. An anthology of horror, filth and sinister witchcraft from a time that may seem foreign to modern man.
"De Ghörnt" explores dark Swiss myths, focusing on a folk tale about a hunter's tragic encounter with the goat-like entity Rollibock. Musically, it blends intense Black Metal with atmospheric and Folk elements, with an evocative artwork to match.

"Forlatt" was released back in 2004 in a very limited edition and rapidly gained recognition as an album that matched genre classics such as "Kveldssanger" by Ulver or "Where At Night The Wood Grouse Plays" by Empyrium. Essential!
Fragile compositions for acoustic guitars are still very much at the centre of Vàli's nature-related acoustic music, augmented by yearning string arrangements, pastoral flute melodies, and accentuated piano sounds.

"The Laughing Stalk" mines the bottomless chasm of a desperate man at the mercy of an inscrutable God; of one standing at the foot of a great mountain, the top of which is shrouded in cloud and mystery.
A moving masterwork that shows Wovenhand exploring louder roots hinted at on prior albums. Ten songs in all, "Refractory Obdurate" plays as a beautifully crafted patchwork that transcends genres and expectation.

"The Threshingfloor" lies at the foot of a mountain in the American West. In Wovenhand’s sixth full-length album, soundscape mimics landscape, towering and jagged like high peaks, enveloping like the star-studded dome of the sky.
A collection of primarily sombre songs, largely arranged around acoustic guitar and strings, originally conceived as a theatre play revolving around a clairvoyant who can only foresee misery. Comes in a deluxe hardcover book.
Although the expression had shifted from Black Metal to a more Acid Folk-like approach on this, the band's unique elements remain: the ominous and deranged, the melancholic brooding and the dreamlike, the sinister and the pain. Lim. 200x.
