How about some folkloric necro metal?
Sort Vokter - Gralysning (mp3)Sort Vokter was a short time project of the musicians from different underground BM groups from Norway in the middle of the nineties. Only one album "Folkloric necro metal" (what a name!) has been released. One of the members was Ildjarn and it seems that he was also the main composer. Sort Vokter is similar to Ildjarn in many ways. It's simplistic and repetitive and the riffs are catchy, but the sound isn't so uncompromisingly harsh. Sometimes when there are atmospheric synths in background, it's almost beautiful. This instrumental track here is like primitive folk music. First verse, second verse, first verse, second verse - It could go on forever. And there isn't any need for screaming all the time. Like in Ildjarn's music, the topics here seem to be a little more obscure than average . Of course, there's always something aggressive, depressive or rebellious in metal. And making songs about chaotic and seemingly hostile forces of nature is nothing new in black metal, but when listening to Sort Vokter the feeling is somehow different. It's like capturing the excitement of being in survival camp.
