Headstone Brigade is one of our favorite bands that we have had the honor of working with over several compilations. Self-described as "depressing polka," Headstone Brigade brings creative new dimensions to the genre with their signature use of accordion amongst other wonderfully played instruments. Go check them out!

promotional photo for Gaë Bolg and The Church Of Fand
Gaë Bolg of Brittany, France is the brainchild of Eric Roger (along with several incarnations and side projects like ...and The Church Of Fand, Seven Pines etc) and has existed within neofolk and martial music for over 20 years! Musically, it is one of the more bombastic and avant-garde projects in the scene with its cinematic, experimental, and medieval flare.
Politically, Gaë Bolg was one of the first to openly break with the status quo in open opposition to fascism and fascist elements within neofolk. We are happy to call them comrades, and they have lent their support in the background of our ongoing project. Go listen to them!

Exulansis is an excellent band that spans multiple genres ranging from black metal to crust to chamber music and folk. We highly recommend their dark folk album, Hymns Of Collapse, which you can find our review of on our page.

Promotional photo of Matt Howden for the release of Crumbs by Sieben.
Sieben has been a collaborator with us from the very beginning, and in fact served as a major point of inspiration for our project, inspiring many of us to question the neofolk status quo with his anti-nazi edict, "Rite Against The Right," back in 2007. His body of work is vast, eclectic, and highly recommended. You can find him and his magical violin on our very first compilation and everywhere else where music is available.

We have had the pleasure of featuring Byssus in a few of our compilations, but if you somehow haven't listened to them, you absolutely must. Dark, dreamy, spellbinding folk music that pulls you deep into an endless forest.
