forest metal....

[Xorv]

.....come with me to the black pines. Get lost within the stalking trees. Their limbs oblique, but touching the sky. The rumbling guitar rattles the withering leaves. The crying winds hymn with the vocalist . Forest metal.

Forest Metal?



Another crazy sub-genre.

 

[J.]

Sort Vokter - Folkloric Necro Metal

Quite different from all the "pretty" sounding forest metal

1349:
It's not a sub-genre, it's a quick way of saying "metal that conjures a foresty atmosphere, or which posesses qualities that pertain to such or so".. come on.. it can't be that hard to comprehend

Agalloch's The Mantle is one of the most beautiful albums i've ever heard. Every track is simply wonderful, but the best tracks on that album are "In The Shadow Of Our Pale Companion" and "I Am The Wooden Doors."

 

[Triton]

Korpiklaani?

 

[hibernal_dream]

Nest and Empyrium. More foresty than metal but.

 

[Vitor]

forest = folk

i like this genre, and i know a lot of bands, but i won't talk which

 

[IWP]

What a stupid sub-genre name!

 

[Skepticism]

It's not a genre really, just the mood you get from listening to it, for me at least.

Agalloch-Pale Folklore (had to post it because it's my favourite Agalloch album)
Darkthrone
First 2 Dimmu Borgir releases.
Enslaved
In The Woods..
Emperor-In The Nightside Eclipse

Most black metal gives me the atmosphere of the woods. I am granted such a pleasure to live where there are lots of forests. Most of the great stuff has already been posted.
