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

Yeah my ears were ringing the next day, Gira is fucking nuts. They played those songs as well as even newer songs they just started playing.
 
Does anyone else here like neofolk? I would like to have someone reccomend me specific albums. I like the genre, but its a challenge to find the releases without spending a ton.
 
New incarnation of King Crimson! I hope there will be a new record to accompany the tour.

Robert Fripp, the founding guitarist and driving creative force of the British progressive rock band King Crimson, has declared the band dead several times since 1974, but this week he allowed that there was life in it yet. On his online diary Mr. Fripp noted that the group’s latest lineup – its eighth since 1969, first announced in September – had just convened in London for rehearsals, and was planning to tour the United States in the fall. The tour is to begin in Albany on Sept. 9 and end in Seattle on Oct. 6. There will be three performances at the Best Buy Theater in Manhattan, Sept. 18-20.

The band’s new roster is, not surprisingly for King Crimson, unconventional. It includes no fewer than three drummers (Gavin Harrison, Bill Rieflin and Pat Mastelotto) and a bassist-singer (Tony Levin) in what Mr. Fripp calls the “front line,” with two guitarists (Mr. Fripp and Jakko Jakszyk) and a flutist-saxophonist (Mel Collins) in the “back line.”

“Personally,” Mr. Fripp wrote of the first rehearsals, “I had lotsa fun. Two Crim Principles articulated: 1. Enjoying our playing together is encouraged. 2. If you don’t wish to play a part, give it to someone else – there’s enough of them!”

I tried hard not to like these guys back in the day (they are fascist apparently), but I can't help myself.

Von Thronstahl - Ius Aud Bellum Et Ius In Bello


Edit: @ Krow: I like a lot of neofolk, actually. Have you heard Tenhi's Maaet album? Definitely one of my all time favorite albums in general. Here's a track:

The opening track is 15 minutes long and is actually my least favorite (although still really good), but the quality of the individual uploads of the last three songs is not sufficient. Avant-prog/zeuhl is something that often just annoys me due to lack of focus or unpleasant experimentation, but this album gets it so right. Jazzy drumming, classically-influenced melodies, and crushing distorted electric bass.

I'm in the thick of my post-MDF getting-into-other-things-besides-metal phase, and I just discovered Beherit's ambient works (as well as Aphex Twin). Can you guys recommend more stuff like this? I like things dark and atmospheric, but also with dancy rhythms (hence my love of Industrial BM).
