Vàli

 

 

Vàli is a neo-folk artist hailing from the beautiful country of Norway. His music replicates his homeland very well. There's just something oh so mysterious and enchanting with every pluck of the guitar string. It creates a soft, gentile flowing atmosphere which is just captivating and you can't help but listen. Whether it be the flowing guitar, violin, piano or flute the charm that his music brings forth is undeniable. Safe to say, this is an excellent piece of neo-folk, good for any occasion

New Way To Contact

Hi folks. I do realize the importance of social media so due to lack of will power I suppose, I caved and converted my personal Twitter account  into one that promotes my blog and music. So if you want to follow me and discover more interesting music, tidbits and other random information it would be great to have you along. Cheers!

Impossible?

   

YouTube is perhaps one of my all time favourite websites. Countless times, I  find myself discovering videos that I originally wasn't look for. This is artist is just one of the many. Esteban Antonio plays a what is already a very complex instrument the Guitar harp but with his own take on it The Ha-Shem is a 17 string Grand Concert Harp Guitar and is quite the sight to behold. Beauty, and the sheer technicality are what stand-out most for me.. The layering is cleverly done. Hope you all enjoy

Nový Svět

 

 

Nový Svět are one of groups who do whatever the hell they want. They play an interesting fusion of neo-folk and industrial and certainly don't shy away from experimenting. The combination is surely a little strange but there's definitely enough to grab your attention. Enjoy the experimental mishmash that is  Nový Svět

The Great Old Ones

 

Heavily influenced by the writings of HP Lovecraft,  this post-black Metal outfit returns with their Sophmore output. I was initially blown away by the musicianship, and dense atmosphere with their debut and their follow-up does not disappoint. They delve deeper into the Lovecraft stick and create a perfect balance of rich atmosphere and aggression. Listen, reflect, enjoy.

A Possible Return? 

Hi folks, as you know I've been away for quite some time dealing with school related commitments  which brought a halt to any further progress on the blog. With that being said, I think I'll keep this blog going from time to time. School is enjoyable and all, but listening to music, and expressing my thoughts with those few of you that probably pay attention to this blog, is what I thoroughly enjoy. Music is the common thread between many of us. I can't think of many other things that almost all share the same joy and love for.  Though with my absence, I believe it is only natural for music tastes to expand, and change.  With that being said, I will not put my primary focus on metal. I will do metal from time-to-time but I will mostly focus on various genres, and elements that I feel capture many of the emotions that metal evoke. Whether that be drone, ambient, neo-folk we shall see what I'm in the mood for

Cheers
