Various - Sturmreif II - The new age of Martial Industrial [Album: 320 br]

I really shouldn't have to sell this album given its tracklist. Excellent album of mostly Martial material, though there are several Militant tracks as well. Perfect for fans of Martial Industrial, Neofolk, Neoclassical, etc.

A Note on the Use of Genre Tags

My genre tags are my own, though there is some overlap with the commonly accepted definitions. The labels I use for the genres are from my media player (it supports multiple genre tags). This post is to help clarify some of the potentially obscure tags I use.

• MARTIAL: Martial Industrial and Martial Ambient
• MILITANT: Neofolk, Neoclassical, or Dark Ambient with a martial flair (e.g. Leger des Heils)
• APOCALYPTIC: Generally refers to music similar to early Current 93 (say up to Crooked Crosses for a Nodding God).
• CULT: I started using this because many compilations had EBM, Neofolk, Power Electronics, and Experimental on the same release. It also refers to that unique sound of 80-90s Cassette Culture.
• MELANCHOLIA: Softer. Think of Tony Wakeford's work under his own name and Current 93's "Soft Black Stars".

More will be added as they are used on this blog.

Various - 3.5 Decades: A Joy Division Italian Tribute

Joy Division is, perhaps, the seminal post-punk band. Their music has influenced many. Neofolk covers (particularly “Walked in Line”) give testament to Joy Divisions influence, and indicate rather clearly that the neofolk genre descended from post-punk. Released by the Dark Italia webzine, this tribute is a wonderful blend of post-punk and darkwave covers. Enjoy.
