The thread where you talk about non-metal music you like.

[Vamos]

Vamos you have officially turned me on to Warpaint.

Nice! They are awesome

 

[SentinelSlain]

Any Neo-Folk recommendations?

Terrible genre.

 

[Nephilim96]

Terrible genre.

I still wanna check it out.

 

[SentinelSlain]

Death in June and Sol Invictus are crap. Laibach use nazi imagery ironically but pull it off so much better than pretty much everyone I've heard that does it seriously.

Ashes Against the Grain by Agolloch supposedly falls under the neofolk category, partially, according to wikipedia. In that case then it's the only good album or even song I've heard within that genre.

 

[Mort Divine]

Terrible genre.

This is the furthest from the truth.

 

[SentinelSlain]

Just listen to Agalloch and maybe early Ulver and ignore all of the bald nazis singing badly to very repetitive badly produced songs.

yotube

 

[Nephilim96]

Thanks Mort.

 

[Baroque]

The "first" black composer

 

[Serjeant Grumbles]

I expected more double bass presence.

 

[Lateralus14]

The Death In June album Mort posted is probably better than just about any non-metal you people listen to.

 

[SentinelSlain]

They're one of the worst popular bands I've ever heard. Seriously, Agalloch have some similarities in their sound to neo-folk, but they make actual good music with it. The difference is amazing.

 

[Nephilim96]

Yeah, that Death in June is real good.

Stop hating SS.

 

[Lateralus14]

But, What Ends When The Symbols Shatter? > Agalloch. And I like Agalloch.

 

[SentinelSlain]

bs, DIJ totally fail to create the atmosphere they fantasize about and struggle musically.

 

[Lateralus14]

Nah, they're just not as accessible or superficial as Agalloch.

 

[SentinelSlain]

They're incredibly repetitive and talking about accessibility is bizarre given how simple their music is.

 

[Mort Divine]

They're incredibly repetitive and talking about accessibility is bizarre given how simple their music is.

Intricacy is not a requirement for being inaccessible.

 

[SentinelSlain]

It isn't especially dissonant, atmospheric or heavy either.

 

[Mort Divine]

None of those barring maybe dissonance make music particularly inaccessible on their own.

 

[SentinelSlain]

eh, I suppose I can see some redeeming qualities in DIJ, it's just they've put out album after album of bad singing and very simple strumming.
