  Neofolk - FoxyTunes
Neofolk is a form of folk music that emerged from European ideals and post-industrial music circles.
Neofolk can either be solely acoustic folk music or a blend of acoustic folk instrumentation aided by varieties of accompanying sounds such as pianos, strings and elements of industrial music and experimental music.
Neofolk is seen by many as an extension of post-industrial music into the folk music genre which did not occur until the late 20th Century.

 Heathen Harvest - Fallow Fields: Neofolk: Religion, Rebellion, Renewal
Yet, despite the contentious times, for these "neofolk" units and related social movements there is an inability to articulate the world around them, ultimately discovering themselves unable to adapt their critique.
Where it stands today, "neofolk" is in a perpetual rut of hobby research and historical reenactments, incapable to come to terms with the postmodern world of hyperreality and fragmentation, globalization and post-industrial capitalism.
It is critical that "neofolk" look inward, to a radical renewal of thought and reworking of ideas for the existing issues of the twentieth-first century.

  Alert!: Neofolk-concerten afgelast
Kafka moest zich maar eens bezig gaan houden met "echte extreem-rechtsen" in plaats van neofolk-concerten te verbieden en achter spoken aan te jagen.
De zin "echte extreem-rechtsen" impliceert dat er binnen de muziekstroming "neofolk" geen echte extreem-rechtsen rond zouden lopen.
Het boek geeft een duidelijk inzicht in de problematiek waar neofolk- en gothicliefhebbers mee worstelen.

  homepage, http, vielfach, rechte, akustische, Viele Neofolk
Neofolk ist eine in den frühen 80ern während der Post-Punk Ära (1979-1981) entstandene Musikrichtung, welche vorwiegend auf akustische Instrumentierung aufbaut (Gitarren, Flöten usw.).
Neofolk ist dabei ein Begriff, der nicht als reine Musikrichtung zu verstehen ist, sondern auch etwas über die in den Texten behandelten Themen und eine bestimmte Lebenseinstellung aussagt.
Viele Neofolker sehen sich in der Unterstellung der Naziverherrlichung als genauso unverstanden wie "Gruftis" durch die Satanismusvorwürfe auf Grund deren zur Schau getragener Symbole.

The Eurocentric focus of the neofolk movement makes sense as much of the neofolk music genre is inspired by European history, culture and pre-Christian indigenous spirituality and religion.
As the neofolk genre evolves musicians outside of Europe have begun to explore their own culture, history and regional spiritual practices via music.
The ritual atmospheres leave place to a couple of pure neofolk numbers and a touch of retro and goliardic is not amiss as well.

In contrast to the public of the last year in the Haus Leipzig there was again a number of people in typical neofolk-outfit to see.
From the different directions of styles of the dark ambit people was coming to eavesdrop Forseti: dark souls in gothic robes, batcave fans and finally the already mentioned neofolk followers.
Like no other neofolk formation they send the listener on a journey of their own sentiments.

The early music created by Collia and In Ruin could most comfortably be aligned to the 'neofolk' or 'dark folk' genres, as clear influences from such seminal acts as Death In June, Current 93, Of the Wand and the Moon, and Strength Through Joy were present.
After recording some demo versions of songs in the mountains of New Hampshire during the winter of 2002, Collia decided to focus on the debut In Ruin cd.
Time and an ever-revolving door of musicians joining and leaving the band lead to the decision to postpone the recording indefinitely.

Call it by its newest name of Neofolk, its former one of Apocalyptic Folk, or call it what you will - Fire + Ice has been and is one of its leading lights.

One of the most talked about but least known sub-sub-cultures of the Gothic-scene is the cult of Neofolk music – closely connected to names like Leonard Cohen, Death in June and Sol Invictus.
A living Neofolk legend is chaos magician Ian Read of Fire and Ice, one original founder of Sol Invictus and head of the chaos-magick-organisation “Illuminates of Thanateros”.
Presented in a very serious and melancholic manner Read sang to all the seekers of a true spiritual world – regaining the holiness of the ancient gods.

 FLUXEUROPA: Sleeping Pictures - Nether Edge
The album retains the same neofolk approach with vocals by Marc Blackie and guitar by Gary Parsons, but the mastering has given it a smoother, warmer and marginally more poppy sound.
Blues influence is apparent on 'Horns of Plenty' with its blaring guitar, syncopated rhythm and perhaps a suggestion of the Stones, while 'Sickly Child' is said to be a mangled version of the traditional English folk song, 'Scarborough Fair', although I can no longer detect much connection.
Sleeping Pictures take a little getting used to, and this is due at least in part to having such a distinctive sound, but that is all to the good.

A strain of English "industrial"; groups were looking for ways to impart new meaning into their bleak and frightening noise, and a new and highly creative, "post-industrial"; folk music came to life, heavily charged with mystical and philosophical themes.
"Neofolk" as it would come to be known is largely defined by early releases by Tony Wakeford's Sol Invictus, alongside fellow pioneer projects Current 93 and Death in June.
The most remarkable achievement of Sol Invictus and the neofolk scene would have to be its enduring appeal.

Neofolk (frei übersetzt: Neue Volksmusik) entwickelte sich Anfang der 80er-Jahre aus der Dark-Wave/Gothic-Musikszene heraus.
Neofolk wird in Teilen des neonazistischen Spektrums auch wegen ihres betont mystischen und altertümlichen Ambientes und ihrer Lagerfeuer-Kompatibilität geschätzt.
Eindeutig neonazistische Bands des Neofolk, wie beispielsweise Der Blutharsch (Österreich), betonen meist die Marsch-Elemente und entwerfen in ihren Texten apokalyptische Szenarien.

 CoC : Allerseelen / Sangre Cavallum - Barco do Vinho : Review
As is always the case with neofolk, _Barco do Vinho_ is heavy on mysticism, although this time the main subject is a tad unusual –- namely the sacred European wine drink, a.k.a.
Sangre Cavallum's four songs are typically enchanting, richly textured neofolk, sorrowful and sometimes epic, employing lots of traditional acoustic instruments, decent vocals and evocative choirs.
The nine-minute masterpiece "Rabello", for example, is one of the better neofolk tracks you're likely to come upon these days.

 SONY BMG Music Entertainment - LANDA DANIEL: NEOFOLK
I album Neofolk se v základech rozpomíná na zaprášený městský folk, na zapomenutého archaického genia loci, kde slova měla svou váhu a od mužů se čekaly činy – a ty přišly… „Staromilský“ nádech v pravý čas rozdrtí Varteckého kytary a Landův hlas, tentokrát ještě naléhavější než na Vltava Tour.
Album dostalo název Neofolk spíš intuitivně, než po dlouhém a zralém uvažování: „Folk jsem poslouchal dřív a možná ve mně něco ulpělo.
Možná, že by se dalo to album nazvat i šansonoidní, ale ten Neofolk mi přijde jako větší vykřičník a jistě i zlobivější název.
