[Cythraul]

What the fuck is forest metal?

^ exactly.

What the fuck is forest metal?

 

[DarkBliss]

Although Forest metal from a musical standpoint is nonexistent, I think Wyrd may qualify. But it's a silly non-descript tag in reality.What's next-- jungle metal, swamp metal?

 

[Einherjar86]

I've heard Kalmah referred to as "swamp metal." All because of the names of their fucking records.

 

[DarkBliss]

By that reasoning, let's call Morbid Angel "alphabet metal."

 

[Omni]

The thread title is stupid, but the example he posted makes it pretty easy to give recommendations.

Negură Bunget - OM
Wyrd - Huldrafolk
Altorių Šešėliai - Margi Sakalai

 

[Xorv]

the forest is a place of life and hope, or a rainy melancholic place full of sorrow and despair. examples:

forest : elvenking - heathnreel
dark forest: agalloch - of stone wind and pillor

 

[genocide roach]

this interests me alot/ negura bunget is awesome. windir is probably another band to check out.

i'll be checking out Altorių Šešėliai - Margi Sakalai
~gR~

 

[unknown]

GR, Altoriu Seseliai (or Altar Shadows in english) is a great black metal band from Lithuania (I believe). definitely worth looking into

 

[Alteredmindeath]

first 3 opeth albums.

 

[MasterOLightning]

Marblebog - Forestheart

It's closer to Autumn Aurora than some of these other choices, but it's really close to Burzum, too.

Also, buy this album, because I know the guy who runs the label, and I'd like to see him be able to release stuff of similar quality.

What the fuck is forest metal?

It's the bastard child of Earth metal and botany metal.

the forest is a place of life and hope, or a rainy melancholic place full of sorrow and despair. examples:

forest : elvenking - heathnreel
dark forest: agalloch - of stone wind and pillor

forest = folk/power metal
dark forest = folk/acoustic, folk/black, etc.

if you like Agalloch's acoustic melancholic parts / aren't just looking for 'metal', check out the neofolk groups Tenhi and October Falls

Moonsorrow ?

 

[Seditious]

I don't listen to enough Moonsorrow to comment.

 

[Einherjar86]

I was just suggesting it. I think, based on what the OP said and what you said, that Moonsorrow would be a good recommendation.
