Current 93 - Sol Invictus - Nurse With Wound

[Kveldssanger]

I've recently heard some songs from these bands and I'm very interested in checking them more extensively (especially Current 93 and Sol Invictus). Any suggestions about which album would be best to start with?

Hmm, I do believe there was a thread about which c93 album to buy... but I can't be bothered to look.

"In a Garden Green" is my favorite Sol Invictus album, so I'd recommend you get that It's pretty representative of the band. From Current 93, I'd say either "All the Pretty Little Horses" or "Thunder Perfect Mind." Probably "All the Pretty Little Horses" is a little better. It features a great track with vocals by Nick Cave.

Can't say about NWW, I've never heard them, but if you like SI and C93, check out a band called Fire and Ice.

What kind of music are they?

 

[Kveldssanger]

I've heard many names for their music like folk noir and things like that. Current 93 and Sol Invictus play mostly dark melodic music, with some experimentations in certain songs. Nurse with Wound are more experimental with industrial and electronic elements...

Russel if you want check the following songs: Current 93 - "Lucifer Over London", "A Gothic Love Song", "All The Stars Are Dead Now" and Sol Invictus - "Song Of The Flower", "Come The Morning".

Yah

This is my favorite wakeup track... watching the sun rise from my lofty perch with its eastward facing windows with a mug of black coffee... mmm... coffee... gonna brew some more

Oh, and "apocalyptic folk" is the name I've most often heard for this genre.

if you're getting a Current 93 album, i'd strongly recommend "Soft Black Stars."

Death In June belongs to this class too.. imo

DIJ is great too!

and I saw them live this spring!! it was an interesting experience. Boyd Rice also performed.... but i didn`t really know what to do with his production...

Sol Invictus, Current 93, and Death in June are simply brilliant! If your new to Current 93 I'd recommend picking up the two cd best of set called 'Calling for Vanishing Faces.' This will give you a nice overview of all their work.
