This is right up my alley; it's going on my collaborative playlist called 'forks in a blender' which is just me and my bud making a playlist.

I really, really like Vvilderness. Huge fan. Also like panopticon, Unreqvited, Witchcraft, Nordic Winter, Skrm (I think?) Elderwind. Psychedelic Witchcraft and Blood Ceremony are up there too.

Ok, I can work with that. If you are a Panopticon fan you may already be familiar with this, but if not it's worth a listen: Eneferens. A little more toward the VVilderness vibe, but essentially purely folk, check out Ekstasis. And to go with the psych vibe, if you haven't heard Hexvessel - Dawnbearer then give that a spin and thank me later.

God, how have I not heard any of these metal bands in this thread? I listen to metal every day, most of the day. Such a huge genre.

I'm going add these to the list.

Holy shit I'm in love with Eneferens and I listened to about 40 seconds. Thanks. Checking out the others .

They do a Kettering cover? Fucking wow

All of this. All of it goes into my and my friends joint playlist (forks in blender)

If you care to, let me know what you think of these. I think I'm on the right track, but I'd be curious to hear how these strike you.

[–] Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Eneferens is top notch. That's going to be a deep rabbit hole with associated bands, once I have time to sit down and explore.

I liked hexvessel and Ekstasis (in that order). Again, need to check out more before I really pass judgement, but they have a lot going on that I like

I'm not sure there's much in the way of branching off from Eneferens. I thought you may have heard of them due to label affiliations. At any rate, glad you are receiving these positively. And yeah, trust that the Hexvessel album is worth some deeper dedicated listening. That's a special album imo; I don't know of anything else that's quite like it.
