Steve Von Till - If I Should Fall To The Field [2002]

Acoustic/Folk - USA

Project of the Neurosis frontman in a folk style reminiscent of Neil Young.
Haunted by the voices of generations past, Steve Von Till’s delicate and intense songs have the rare ability to speak for one while they speak for us all. The album is simultaneously universal and personal - with each exposed nerve of the artist’s life, it demands that we reveal the same.

Värttinä - Aitara [1994]

Finland’s Värttinä are distinguished by the fact that they have invented a unique roots-based vocal/instrumental style combining traditional Finno-Ugric vocal elements with original compositions and dynamic performance. Blending ancient Finnish runo poetry, distinctive vocal harmonies, traditional and modern acoustic instrumentation, complex rhythms and imaginative arrangements, the front line of three female singers with backline of six acoustic musicians are forging their own path in contemporary music.

Lantlôs - Lantlôs [2008]

The cold calling of our dying modernity, the German band Lantlôs is able to shape tasteful black metal and to switch inside their creation acoustic passages with a result that recalls of Ved Buens Ende and Amesoeurs. Lantlôs is a Distorted Aesthetic in the gloomy and fucked up obscure decadence, powerful disharmonic feeling is the artists palette to draw the listener to perdition and what may become a fatal introspection.

Empyrium - Songs of Moors and Misty Fields [1997]

Empyrium started as a German symphonic folk doom metal band founded in 1994 by Markus Stock (mostly using the pseudonym Ulf Theodor Schwadorf) and Andreas Bach, but later Ulf T. Schwadorf separated from Andreas Bach and took Thomas Helm as his partner. Their first two albums, A Wintersunset and Songs of Moors and Misty Fields, can be considered doom metal with folk and symphonic influences. They combine harsh and operatic male vocals with deep slow guitar parts and atmospheric keys. Their music is heavy, dark and romantic.Two next albums, Where at Night the Wood Grouse Plays and Weiland, are acoustic, and aren’t really related to metal. The genre of these albums can be defined as folk. Instead of keys they use acoustic instruments such as violin, cello, flute. The main theme is lead by monotonously repeated acoustic guitars. There are still operatic male vocals included, and in Weiland the band uses a choir. It still remains dark and melancholic, but Empyrium’s music lost its metal heavyness.The band draws most, if not all of its inspiration, from nature, as some of the album titles reveal. The lyrics are mostly in English, though in Weiland only German is performed. After their last album, Weiland, the band decided to stop recording.Discography…Der wie ein Blitz vom Himmel fiel…A Wintersunset [CD/2LP 1996]Songs of Moors & Misty Fields Where at Night the Wood Grouse Plays [CD/2LP 1999]Drei Auszüge aus Weiland [7”EP 2002]Weiland [CD/3CD/2LP 2002]Members (line up):Ulf Theodor Schwadorf (real name Markus Stock) - guitars, bass, drums and vocals (also in The Vision Bleak, Noekk)

Agalloch - The White EP [2008]

Despite their style being firmly grounded in the dark metal genre, Agalloch has always been a band who prefers experimentation over settling on a niche. The result has been three full-lengths and a handful of EPs that have bridged the gap between gothic doom, black metal, neo-folk, post rock, and industrial/ambient soundscapes. The band has earned a rabid cult following over the years due in part to their artistic & independent attitude, elusive aura, and scarce but volatile live performances.
Four years after their critically acclaimed sophomore effort "The Mantle", Agalloch delivers their new album, "Ashes Against The Grain". Always progressing, but never losing touch with their dark metal roots, the band's third album unites elements of black metal, Scandinavian prog, and post-rock with the band's signature brooding style.
Agalloch hails from Portland, Oregon - in the heart of the Pacific Northwest.
