I quickly sampled the longer tracks from their previous album, and I wasn't convinced it was prog-folk...


We'll see with this new one if it's more convincing
If not, I think we can consider it for Zeuhl
Listening to the last posted link....hmmm maybe not even progressive.

Interesting band. They sing in Kobaian but it sounds more celtic folk than zeuhl.
Very good finding.

Yeah, this sounds as though it might fall under the general umbrella of Prog Folk. Hardly a well-known outfit though - just 100 'likes' on facebook, and only a handful of views for the stuff they uploaded to their YouTube channel. I've got a feeling that the project might be deemed just a tad too obscure to be granted an evaluation. Could be wrong though - they did get around 500 CDs pressed of the Raāgnarök album, so they did at least make a fairly serious effort (and investment) to push their music out to the masses. Embarrassed
