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.

Interesting band. They sing in Kobaian but it sounds more celtic folk than zeuhl. Very good finding. ------------- Curiosity killed a cat, Schroedinger only half. My poor home recorded stuff at https://yellingxoanon.bandcamp.com |

We'll look in this band's discography to see if they belong. 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 ------------- Curiosity killed a cat, Schroedinger only half. My poor home recorded stuff at https://yellingxoanon.bandcamp.com |
