Collection: Dark Folk

Dark Folk is a haunting and atmospheric subgenre of folk music that weaves together traditional folk elements with darker, more introspective themes. This genre often explores the shadowy corners of human existence, drawing inspiration from ancient mythologies, pagan traditions, and the raw, untamed aspects of nature. With subgenres like Deathgrass, which infuses bluegrass-inspired instrumentation with morbid lyrics, and Rune Folk, which incorporates Norse mysticism and runic symbolism, Dark Folk creates a rich tapestry of sound that is both ethereal and grounded. Viking Folk, another notable offshoot, draws heavily from Scandinavian history and folklore, often featuring traditional instruments and chanting vocals that evoke images of fjords and longships. The genre as a whole is characterized by its ability to transport listeners to otherworldly realms, blending acoustic melodies with unconventional instruments and haunting vocal performances that linger long after the final note fades.
