If you're new to this type of music, download the introductory 3-disc compilation I made for my father's birthday here: mega.nz/#!K8AgGAYQ!drHWbi646tZ3t0DRQZleKbcMBzEeQClX1NzOMzAuETs
Disc 1 contains rock/industrial oriented neofolk that would be accessible to an afficionado of modern "pop" (in the loosest sense of the word) music and is most prominent in the British scene. Disc 2 delves into more traditionally and acoustically oriented neofolk, a style that is most widespread in the German scene. Disc 3 gives the initiate a chronological overview of Death In June's discography ranging from their earliest recorded concerts to Douglas' most recent solo output.
(((other Anons are invited to make and share their own introductory compilations, charts, memes and OC)))

Huh? What Death In June porno? No, you can't have it.
>Is Death In Juni really a fascist band? And why should I care? I listen to music for the music, not for the politics.
Sol Invictus is great. I also like this japanese band called Oto-Oni, they mostly do folk-metal, but their later work was more electronic and with acoustic guitar youtube.com/watch?v=90klLJpIc6M

fucking hell this is great
Alexander Thomas
Wow, Oto-Pni sounds great. What album of theirs started that turn in style?
Yes, it is. Listen to The Hyperion Machine while you're at it.
Luke Moore
Sadly they didn't get to release a full album with that sound, just a few singles, however, the band before Oto-Oni by the vocalist (called Pink Opaque, where he played bass) have the same kind of sound. If this thread is still here later, I'll upload the Pink Opaque discography (which is just an EP and a few demos/singles) and my rip of the only Oto-Oni full album (which is metal, but still has a lot of folk elements).

I want to mix neofolk, dungeon synth and dark ambient together.
Luke James
That would be great!
A noble pursuit. Is it going well?
Aaron Myers
Been listening to Allerseelen like crazy recently, need to check out more similar stuff, because it's great youtube.com/watch?v=NQPZ28zeDIQ also how is everyone doing? i love these threads, very cozy
Thomas Edwards
The dark ambient stuff is going well and I know what I want to do with the dungeon synth, but when it comes to writing neofolk tunes I don't know where to start. I seem to be far better at creating atmospheres in music than conventional song writing.
You might be able to find some more stuff by them from some blog with uploads (if there's any still alive) or soulseek. At the moment I don't have more Oto-Oni, but they've got a bunch of singles, including the later releases (when they were just the vocalist and guitarist), but those are harder to find. I used to have their full disco but lost them when my HDD crashed.
