Nordis, are these one of your favourites? Or one of those you listen to? I like all of them a lot, they're very different from each other and I could say that they're all my favourites in their own genres Mighty Croc: Are Troll gnet ell cd's hard to get in there? I've tried to look for them quite a few times in European web stores and distros but no-one has them. I tried to find some Russian stores as well, but didn't have that much luck. I have only some random mp3s from them, and I really wouldn't mind having the actual cds

heh, I laughed! but be careful, those guys usually publish the outsiders of world's pagan metal scene
That's a good question. The first album, "Troll Bends Fir" was self-released or sth like that, it's nearly unable to find on an original CD. I've never seen it. The second one, "Hangoverlainen Juhlat", was released by a major label here, but seems that it's been sold out already. The third, "Konung Hop" is self-released, and it's still able to find, but not in the major shops (which do not support the underground music). But it seems that it's sold out too. The last one, "1516" is the easiest to find. Maybe even in some big stores.
Also, if anyone is interested in the mp3's, I may try to upload the first three albums [but I have no idea how to use any file sharing sites except megaupload.com]. The first three albums have been approved for free downloading by the band (maybe the fourth too, but I'm not sure).

@tina: Bjork is always a great recommendation. But her voice is so eerily wonderful that even if the electonic stuff sucked it could still be enjoyed. And yes, Falco is the man, it still baffles me how seemlessly (and how fast) he can transition from German to English and back and forth again with no real problems. Plus he's just got awesome songs. Yes, the metalhead that listens to old pop, but at least with Tina here I am not alone. hehe In regards to Troll Gnet El, I had to download their CD's online. I prefer buying albums, but being both a poor college student and not being able to find their music, I decided to download their CD's online instead. And seeing as they are mostly all so hard to get, even in Russia, I think it was a good decision. The internet is a lovely place for being able to listen to albums that are so damn obscure or hard to find outside of their native country.

I don't like most of these things, but if you like crossover thrash - you could try D.R.I., Cryptic Slaughter, Wehrmacht and early Corrosion of Conformity. And some German thrash scene - Kreator, Sodom, Destruction and Living Death. It rocks much more than the Bay Area guys, I guarantee that.

The Agonist - Lullabies For The Dormant Mind All That Remains - The Fall Of Ideals August Burns Red - Messengers Brainstorm - Liquid Monster ... ... ... Quite a list, but it would be also nice to hear why you recommend these particular bands

I'm not sure if any of these bands to follow have already been recommended, but I'll give it a shot anyway since they've been in heavy rotation by me lately. Not sure how many fellow Neofolk fans we have on this forum, besides the few I already know of. But I'm sure those who have not heard it can be easily converted, as both the content of the lyrics and the mood of the music is absolutely beautiful: ranging from the utterly hopeless and melancholic to the tremendously uplifting and heartfelt. I'll start with one of my favorites, or at least one of my favorites as of late: Rome. Rome is headed by Jerome Reuter, although recently joined by a second collaborator who completely helps add and improve the sound and direction of Rome. Jerome started out Rome with a more martial and ambient feel, but on the latest album has moved almost completely towards Neofolk, although with slight martial influence. I'll mostly recommend the new album, as again it's what I've been listening to a lot lately, but I highly recommend ALL by Rome. The new album of theirs is entitled "Flowers from Exile", and is written entirely around the Spanish Revolution, as well as a sort of tribute to his Spanish heritage and the exile of his grandfather. I'll share some links, and give a brief comment on each expressing just how wonderful this music is. The Secret Sons of Europe: This song I find absolutely mind-blowing. It's a gentle and perfect mix between Spanish Flamenco style guitar and neofolk structure and mood. Of course with Jerome's wonderful vocals. www.youtube.com/watch?v=nUv3njJ3nvIWe Who Fell in Love with the Sea: This song is one long repetitive guitar part with Jerome's wonderful lyrics song over it. Very tranquil and meditative. www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1Rh7aY3cIITo Die Among Strangers: I'm still not quite sure how I can express the power of these songs. The titles themselves are absolutely moving, but throw in his wonderful lyrics and the sounds of the composition makes it all perfect. I think this is my favorite song title ever, especially given the context it is written in. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wcM5WkMS3ggSwords to Rust, Hearts to Dust: Again with the wonderful song title, and yet again once you hear the music you'll be even more blown away. www.youtube.com/watch?v=d9MFxZf_06YA Legacy of Unrest: the chorus is one of the most moving ones I've heard, then throw in the refrain to finish out the song and wow... www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fdq4OlCe2oUThat's not even the full album, and listening to the album from beginning to end is just mind-blowing. At least for me it is, so perhaps others can appreciate it as much as I do. To add to the effect if you can't understand all the lyrics as they are song, as it can be hard to do, here is a link to find all of the lyrics: www.lyricsvip.com/Rome-Lyrics.htmlAnd to feel even more how Jerome is as a person, here's a radio interview with him done right before his set at WGT in 2009 I believe. You can tell just by listening to his speaking voice how natural it is for him to sing so astoundingly. Great personality as well and some insight into the themes of the album: www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJKYZ4jk7w4I'd share more of their songs from other albums, but I figure if you like these enough you'll click the video links on the side to listen to the others. I was also going to share more bands, but after getting into it I realize that Rome deserves their own post altogether.
