Neofolk is a form of folk music-inspired experimental music that emerged from post-industrial music circles. Neofolk can either be solely acoustic folk music or a blend of acoustic folk instrumentation aided by varieties of accompanying sounds such as pianos, strings, and elements of industrial music and experimental music. The genre encompasses a wide assortment of themes. Neofolk musicians often have ties to other genres such as neoclassical and martial industrial.
The spirit of neofolk contains parallels to the ideals of American and British folk movements of the 1960s. The basis of this music is built upon principles against commercialization and popular culture. However, the themes of neofolk and folk music are drastically different. A majority of artists within the neofolk genre focus on archaic, cultural, and literary references. Local traditions and indigenous beliefs tend to be portrayed heavily as well as esoteric and historical topics.
Various forms of neopaganism and occultism play a part in the themes touched upon by many modern and original neofolk artists. Runic alphabets, heathen European sites and other means of expressing an interest in the ancient and ancestral occurs often in neofolk music. Aesthetically, references to this subject occur within band names, album artwork, clothing and various other means of artistic expression. This has led to some forefathers of the genre and current artists within the genre attributing it to being an aspect of a broader neopagan revival.

Forseti lebt! / Forseti is Still Alive!
a year agoI heard that Andres is doing quite well now. His mother said that unfortunately he doesn't know how to play instruments anymore, but he smiles a lot. I think Neofolk put the power in his heart, Forseti is alive!
Perhaps this info is interesting for these, who listen often to Forseti.For me, this music fill my heart full of impressions and the com are comrades and friendship is strong.Neofolk is friendship, that is, what it's is for me.
Through this realy dark times we need a hand to hold and this is why i never will forget the project Forseti.This is in my heart for ever and Andres too and he's alive, that's the thing.
Hope you're all save, take take and take care for fam and comrades.
Best regards, Shinma
