Bands similar to Ulver's Kveldssanger

[Nathan Explosion]

Sorry if this is in the wrong section since it isn't realy metal.

I was wondering if there were other bands who made music similar to Kveldsanger. I like opeth's damnation but was looking for something darker and more "haunting".

Thanks.

Check out Arcana. They don't have a whole lot of guitars going on, but they are sure great. Its very much dark neo-classical.

I would recommend either Raspail, Dark Age of Reason, or The New Light.

 

[Einherjar86]

Empyrium, especially Where At Night the Wood Grouse Plays and Weiland.

 

[metal_wrath]

Empyrium - Weiland

 

[Tennyson]

agalloch's white album. Doesn't have the same feel as the folk release(s) of Empyrium and Ulver but a great piece of dark folk

You might want to check out Tenhi. Not metal, though neither is Kveldsangger.

 

[Xorv]

October falls - marras

then there is always.......


ROME

 

[Goffdahl]

Perhaps these bands would do the trick

Nest
Of the Wand and the Moon
Neun Welten
The Moon and the Nightspirit
Subaudition

They are not as close as Empyrium but close enough I'd say. Definitely closer than Damnation, anyway.

Tenhi

 

[Seditious]

like Kveldsanger:
Olam Ein Sof
Darkwood
Dies Natalis
Forseti
Nebelung
Neun Welten
Neutral
Orplid
Sonne Hagal
Tenhi
Weihan
October Falls' first two albums (the others are good, but are metal, not neofolk)
Månegarm's Forest Sessions EP
and two Halgadom albums: "Verdunkelung des Göttlichen" and "Heimstatt"

more 'haunting' than Kveldsanger:
Belborn
Empyrium
Nest

 

[Lateralus14]

Definitely +1 to the White EP by Agalloch. It's not as classically influenced but is very similar to the more folky moments on Kveldssanger and Bergtatt.

 

[Seditious]

looking for something darker and more "haunting".

definitely check out Chertog Volka.
