8.9 (17 个评分) Tom Waits 类型: 布鲁斯
发布日期 1999年1月1日 出版发行: Anti
After Tom Waits's six-year stint indulging in other artistic endeavors, hearing his familiar growl is like revving up a beloved old motorcycle after driving around in an SUV. The hard-earned wisdom and arcane sensibilities of this set make it one of strongest releases of his entire eclectic catalog. --Matthew Cooke

Heralding - The Fireblade 豆瓣
7.2 (5 个评分) Falkenbach
发布日期 2006年1月31日 出版发行: Napalm [Spv]
One of the most legendary names in Viking/Pagan Metal returns with his most expansive album, Heralding - The Fireblade. Hymn-like but heroic, Falkenbach's fourth album finds mainman Vratyas Vakyas expanding his bombastic vision by bringing back his blackened screams and varying his myriad tempos. Still, it's trademark Falkenbach, and no one better evokes the forgotten lore of the Viking peoples! This Ltd. Ed. version comes housed in deluxe digipak format.

Apocalips 豆瓣
9.6 (5 个评分) Ordo Rosarius Equilibrio
发布日期 2006年9月4日 出版发行: Cold Meat Industries
We are certainly living in apocalyptic times, there is finality in the air, the world seemingly heading toward ever more upheavals of epic proportions – and what soundtrack could be more fitting to these times of ours than the new Ordo Rosarius Equilibrio album Apocalips?
Ordo Rosarius Equilibrio continue their march amongst seeming polarities - of creation and destruction, of dark and light, of joy and sorrow, of sex and war- toward the Coniunctio Oppositorum, the conjunction of opposites.
Their seventh full-length album thus far, the eagerly awaited Apocalips, true to the ethos of The Order of Roses and Balance, is an opus of decadent beauty, of shining darkness, of fierce eroticism, of dreams, of blood, sperm and fire.
Despite these familiar themes, Apocalips is also more grippingly personal and melancholic than previous records - perhaps reflecting the personal apocalypses of its creator, Tomas Pettersson.
Having refined their sound to yet again new levels of clarity and completeness, Ordo Rosarius Equilibrio continue in their tradition of sound, the instruments ranging from drifting acoustic guitars, piercing percussions, lush pianos and strings to the fittingly decadent samples (including the ever-present Saloon Kitty) and above all the deep voice of Tomas Pettersson, delivering his poetic diatribes and evocations via spoken word, and even more than on previous works, via singing.
The tracks on Apocalips range from the ferocious and yet tender "Do Murder & Lust Make Me a Man" to the tribally industrial and aggressive rhythmic soundscapes of "Hear the Sound of a Black Flame Rising"; from ”My Venus in Furs”, inspired by the old Velvet Underground S&M classic, to the ending track ”Who Stole the Sun from its Place in My Heart?”, which is possibly the most beautiful (and most sad) Ordo Rosarius Equilibrio song thus far.
So whether you are experiencing downfall on a personal level or in the grander scheme of things, Apocalips is a suitably bitter-sweet music to accompany the end-times, laying kisses and rose petals on the path toward the inevitable.
Comes in a deluxe foilprinted digipak with 32-pages booklet and a CD with the fragrance of rose!

Ritual Front
发布日期 2008年12月31日 出版发行: Der Angriff
俄罗斯新民谣团体Ritual Front带来了第二张正式专辑,乐团去年发行的EP专辑《Солнце мертвы》让人印象尤为深刻,我曾经也强烈推荐过。与上张EP较为暗色的风格相比,唯美的专辑封面预示着风格上的微秒变化。虽然是一张正式专辑,但却非常短小,总时长仅为30分钟而已。整张专辑听完之后的第一感觉是,这张专辑的风格唯美动听了许多。第二首《Лети птица, лети》低音男主音的加入使Ritual Front的音乐多了份暖昧的味道。军鼓作为主要背景铺垫始终贯穿着整张专辑,但鼓点的运用EP中较为冷酷的感觉相比,在这张专辑中就显得柔和平静了许多。总的来说,我感觉Ritual Front的音乐是经历了一次从黑暗到唯美的转变,但却又不失动听的本质,是今年比较值得推荐的一张新民谣作品。
Helfahrt 豆瓣
Sonne Hagal 类型: 民谣
发布日期 2002年1月1日 出版发行: Eis &Licht Tonträger
Sonne Hagal is a German experimental and neofolk group.
Kim Larsen (Of the Wand and the Moon) provides guitar and vocals on track 5 'Raidho', and Andreas Ritter (Forseti) plays accordion on track 11 'The Runes Are Still Alive'.
"After some vinyl releases Sonne Hagal, a neo-folk formation from Germany, now delivers its first regular album. And Sonne Hagal is immediately promoted to the highest division! They have created twelve neo-folk pearls, that compete with the best acts in this field. The first song, ‘Memory, Hither Come’, directly has a lot of atmosphere, through the warm voice and the strings, reminding me of Of the Wand and the Moon. Speaking of this Danish act, Kim Larsen has added guitar and vocals to the excellent track ‘Raidho’, a bit further on the album. Andreas Ritter of Forseti also contributes to two tracks of “Helfahrt”, with vocals and his typical accordion.
Acoustic guitars, fine strings and pleasant vocals are the main musical ingredients. Sonne Hagal plays a traditional style of traditional neo-folk. ‘Song Of Experience’ for example, reminds of classic Death in June. But the music on this album never sounds boring or stale. Therefore the sound is too fresh and the melodies too good. There is also a good variation of uptempo (”Midwinternight’, ‘Futhark’) and slow (’Song of Innocence’, ‘Raidho’) songs on the album. Most lyrics are in German and deal a lot with runic themes, according to titles like ‘Futhark’, ‘Midgard’ and ‘The runes are still alive’. (Funprox review)"

9.1 (26 个评分) Forseti 类型: 民谣
发布日期 2004年1月1日 出版发行: Prophecy
Forseti 是德国的neo folk乐队。在德国的神话传说里, Forseti是维护公平与正义的神. 他从他的父亲Balder那里继承了正义与果断。为了这个原因, Asen让他成为最高的执法者。任何需要寻求解决争议, 或者希望得到明智判决的人都会来到位于一座辉煌宫殿的金色大厅里的Forseti的座下。没有人会带着不公平的决断离开Forseti的辉煌的神殿。每个人都会对得到的判决很满意, 因为这位神的裁决者会用明智的言辞彬彬有礼地解决人类的争端。所以, 有人说, 无论对人类还是对神族, 这都是最好的法庭。无论在舞台上还是录音室里, Forseti都不会使用电声设备。纯粹的原声音乐会给人温暖和情感。他们受到了德国浪漫主义和关于天然世界的诗歌--"大自然的歌词"的影响, 大自然在我的生命中扮演了重要的角色, 尤其是在现代的一切为消费者服务的宗旨和普通的社会给我们巨大的压力的时候。传统和文化的影响力越来越淡, 生命的体验和与生俱来的自由变得越来越压抑,这一点尤其体现在德国这个越来越难以探索你自己的神奇历史的国度。Forseti他们自己亦不讳言越来越对东方的魔法, 异教, 北方的传说和古代文明感兴趣. 这些影响被在写进了歌词里, 但无论如何Forseti不会对在歌曲里表达政治观点。
The Heathen Chapters 豆瓣
9.2 (5 个评分) Svafnir
发布日期 2008年5月11日 出版发行: Galgenstrang Produktionen
Heathen Atmospheric Folk ... Die meisten der dargebotenen Songs sind reine Instrumentalstücke, die Natur pur atmen, etwas, was man an einem Herbstmorgen vor Sonnenaufgang auf weiten Feldern in der Nähe von Wäldern atmen kann, eine leicht neblige, aber enorm erfrischende, angenehme Luft, irgendwo muss sich eine Feuchtwiese befinden, vielleicht sogar ein Bachlauf, und wenn man denn schon mit seinem MP3-Player Technik in diese Umgebung tragen muss, dann bitte mit der Musik von SVAFNIR drauf. Die Musik klingt exakt genau so, wie das Cover aussieht, erdig, verwurzelt, wie Bäume, die von zarten Nebelstreifen umringt werden, sehr fantasievoll ausgemalt allein mit akkustischen Gitarren, von wenigen Momenten einer ihrer Kraft wegen bemühten E-Gitarre, deren Klang aber ebenso natürlich ist wie das Vogelzwitschern, das ihr folgt. ... Eine Ausnahme zu den übrigen Songs stellen "The Blackbird's Flight" dar, das 'Akkustik-Parts' auf einer E-Gitarre als Grundlage aufweist, was einen interessanten Höreffekt hat, und die beiden Songs "Nothing Left" und "Death of the Sun", die mit Gastvocals von Simon Graff dargeboten werden, und dem wohl markantesten Unterschied, es sind tatsächlich 'Rock-Songs', man könnte sie sogar dem Metal zuordnen, sofern man freigeistig genug ist, dies trotz fast konsequenter Abstinenz von E-Gitarren so zu nennen. Es gibt zwar welche, die Hauptarbeit des Songs leisten aber Akkustikgitarren. Ebenfalls komplett aus dem Rahmen fällt "A Druid's Cosmic Journey", das Synthi-basiert ist und auch von Raison d'etre stammen könnte, sehr abgespaced und ein wenig 'krachig' inszeniert, aber wenn kosmische Reisen einen Klang haben, könnte es dieser sein....

The Demons Of Iron&Titan Woods / Ancient Forest 豆瓣
Tscheljabinsk65
发布日期 2009年5月1日 出版发行: dying art productions
德国新民谣氛围单人组合Tscheljabinsk65在2002年发表的两张CDR DEMO作品的合集再版。虽然名义上是demo,但作品都是很成熟和完整的作品,音质也非常好。乐队主脑Til和我在很久以前通过信,但在04年自他重病住院后就彻底消失不见了,网站关闭,邮箱过期。没有人知道他现在在哪里,再做什么,身体康复了没有?甚至有可能已经不在人世了(到现在依旧无法联系上,这个可能性很大)...
The Demons Of Iron&Titan Woods / Ancient Forest这两张作品代表了这支风格变化多端的组合最好的创作水平,非常伤感和没落.....深受新民谣影响的灰色氛围音乐.....也许从技法上讲Tscheljabinsk65并没有什么过人之处,箱琴刷弹,氛围配器比较简单,手法近似projekt早期lycia,SWS....连绵的灰...但其中总有些能触动我心的东西,第一次听它正是失业失恋的一个大冬天雪后,我在当初的小平房屋内,反复的听那张泰坦的森林,那种心情我至今仍记忆深刻。或许它真的深深表达了个人生存在这社会中的种种痛苦无奈和沮丧...
DYING ART联系了之前发行其两张demo的厂牌,得以将它们整合在一起,再版做正式CD出品,限量333套,真的是一个难得的机会。
这张碟献给所有那些曾在暗夜哭泣过的灵魂...那些属于冬日的歌,那些孤独的歌,那些失意者抑郁者的歌.....
Lamentos a Poema Muerto 豆瓣
9.2 (15 个评分) Uaral / Lost Horizon Records
发布日期 2007年7月16日
Uaral是一个智利二人团体,其中Aciago负责乐器的演奏。而Caudal表演人声,他们两人的家庭都打着被流放的烙印。被政府镇压后流放到智利南部做农奴,这种命运带来了他们深入骨髓的痛苦。
面对无语的大山、 河流、树木,这里寻找不到希望也寻找不到爱,音乐是孤独的他们唯一能减轻痛苦的安慰。对自身命运的乖蹇,对国家前途的绝望和追求自我内心的平静的愿望构成了Uaral独一无二的音乐。时而会徘徊于黑暗肃杀的军工,交织于冷漠与残酷。时而也会聆听如此这般沉郁的泣诉,挣扎于痛苦绝望之中,其实我们自己也无法透识自己。
