Moose, you goddamn homo, get in here! (nice reco inside)

Sturmpercht - Stürm ins Leben wild hinein!

This very sympathetic trio from Austria plays some weird but quite excellent brand of neo-folk with undefined musical direction, pouring a bit of theatricals here (with spoken parts reminding of their countrymates Angizia and goofy percussion), a bit of martial arm-raising stiffness, a couple dust-coated symphonic collages, some Orplid-like strumming + flat vocals, sunlight-battered ambient of longing nature, and even sort of trad yodel vocals in between. Frankly I'd be surprised if the archaic, faintly Dernière Volonté-like marche "Des Blutes schwere Schuld" does not result in a basketful of soaked pyjamas in Moose's laundry room. Andrew/Maren if you read this listen to s'Hendl and prepare to laugh your chicken pie out

Hm... downloading now, all though I am pretty wary: the few songs I heard from their last album were utterly unbearable due to a singer whose skills fell far short of even the neo-folk standard

Their 2006 album, [SIZE=-1]Geister im Waldgebirg[/SIZE] , is a much more well rounded album imo. Like you said, they're a good mix of upbeat stuff and more tranquil songs. The vocals are on the rough side, but it works for the more upbeat songs anyway. And the cover to said album is really sweet

P.S I won't bother bumping the other thread, but the new Nebelung is amazing. They've really moved to the top of the heap of the German bands. And yes spaffe the vocals have improved!!

Yeah, I've always found Sturmpercht a little tedious, but I'll give this a try.

 

[MajestikMøøse]

Well, it's better than other Sturmpercht that I've heard, but it's still not good enough for me to spend money on.

I mean I may be a raging penislover, but even I have my limits.

That Little Black [Chicken?] parody is pretty amusing though.

This is pretty cool, missed this RC thread, but found out about these fucks in a Graveland topic elsewhere.

 

[Reign in Acai]

Heh, listen to this.

 

[swizzlenuts]

The new Rome is pretty ace. Only listened to it once, since it's like 2 hours long.

 

[einride]

Heh, listen to this.

this is truly terrible
