Nechochwen - Neo-Folk from the back woods of Virginia

Reign in Acai · June 11th, 2008, 10:55 PM

I came stumbling upon this act while perusing Dark Horizons website. Absolutely stunning neo-folk with a very feral vibe. The artist behind the music is of Native-American ancestry, and it's quite obvious that his roots are the catalyst behind this creation. Though, only subtle traces of this can be heard, primarily through chants. The main body of the work is comprised of trudging electric guitar harmonies interspersed with sullen keys and acoustic passages that takes the form of rainfall on the soul. This is perfect campfire music for a time long past, when buffalo roamed free, and the stars were unimpeded by city lights. Fans of Nest, October Falls, Altar Shadows, and Tenhi take note.

Yes, this is excellent stuff. The first two tracks especially, the latter portion of the second track is quite stunning. Nest definitely comes to mind when listening. The chants are well done, and the guitar is quite varied in places. See the song on his demo 'at night where i roam' for some good guitar play. I'll definitely be getting this when it becomes available.

I hope this recommendation does not get buried in obscurity like so many of the others in this forum. This should be heard!!
