Good Folk/Black?

[Draehl]

I've particularly been listening to a lot of Agalloch, Drudkh & Windir lately. I really love the way they combine BM with a more folky sound, but without going over the top in the folky department (like Finntroll & Falkenbach, both of which I love but only in limited doses) so nothing too far off the deep end, but a definite folky vibe is nice.

Anyway, could you recommend any standout acts in this sub genre?

Thanks!

EDIT: I didn't include Moonsorrow because of the "overblown" comment, but I still think they should be mentioned.

Particularly later Moonsorrow, Verisakeet onward, fits the bill.

I would recommend gett "Against the Seasons..." by Woods of Ypres as well.

Negura Bunget hasn't been mentioned yet. I'd recommend the album 'n Crugu Bradului.

Also, these bands:
Taake
Klabautamann
Nagelfar (the e is important)
Draugnim
Dornenreich
Cor Scorpii
Vreid
Kampfar

Thy Serpent - Forests of Witchery

 

[cannibal corpse]

Nazgûl - De Expugnatione Elfmuth
Summoning - everything

Only ones I know.

Agalloch is a hard act to follow they are beyond awesome.

Amor e Mort - about these thornless wilds (Folk, black, melodic with out being one or any of them its different)

I mean there is better stuff out there but it has been mentioned or escapes me this moment. You might just like adorned brood though

 

[ZosKiaCvltvs]

Kroda
Askival
Primordial
Wodensthrone

I always thought Blut aus nord's ultima thulee has a slight folk feel to it.
