Description

Neofolk blends traditional folk instrumentation with post-industrial and experimental sounds, often exploring European cultural themes and mythology. The genre emerged in the 1980s from post-punk circles, characterized by acoustic guitars, martial rhythms, and atmospheric arrangements. Its aesthetic ranges from minimalist and introspective to ritualistic and darkly romantic.
