i will defiantly be following this thread
neofolk and martial industrial are two of my favorite genres
i was lucky enough to see Blood Axis last year at a
festival in the woods about 70 miles from my house and will be attending again this year to see Fire + Ice, Of The Wand And Of The Moon, and Die Weisse Rose (really looking forward to seeing this band)
Blood Axis was by far one of the most powerful bands i have ever seen live
i agree with screen13....my interest in neofolk came out of an already strong interest in gothic music and started with Current 93 and Death In June.....and as i started studying pre-christian European history and traditions it exploded.....this is defiantly one of those genres where you really have to weed through a lot of crap to find nuggets of gold
really looking forward to this
if it helps with an introduction to the genre i made a mix a couple years ago and it is still available for download

for some reason i switch Rome and Changes from the traditional "Band - Song" format
anyways hope it helps and seriously if you want to check out an album from any of these bands and many more just ask and i'll upload one for you
