Rochester, New York folk metal project whose 2015 demo brings medieval revelry to Western New York. The archaic spelling signals allegiance to folk metal's celebration of pre-modern traditions.
Rochester's Eternal Crypt bridge melodic black metal, folk metal, and power metal into a layered style that draws on ancient mythology without abandoning the aggression at the core. Active since 2018, they are among upstate New York's more genre-restless acts.
A New York project fusing raw black metal with folk sensibilities, Gelassenheit — a German word denoting yielding or serenity — subverts its own name with abrasive, earthy compositions since 2020. The folk element adds texture without softening the edge.
Clarence, New York's Goblin Hovel draw equally from folk tradition and doom metal's downcast weight, weaving a sound that feels ancient and mournful in equal measure. Since 2012, they've ranged across folk, doom, and neofolk with a restless, world-building imagination.
A New York-based project founded in 2014, Myrkur weaves atmospheric black metal with folk and post-metal textures, layering ethereal vocals over icy tremolo riffs and acoustic passages to create a sound that is both harrowing and hauntingly beautiful.
Trollgrad is a Brooklyn-based folk and black metal band formed in 2023, weaving pagan-influenced melodic elements and folk instrumentation into a foundation of harsh black metal.
