Band

European dark folk or neo-folk is with its minor chords, march rhythms and melancholic vision not a genre that gets much attention.

One of the most prominent bands of the darkened, cultural-pessimistic genre is Of The Wand And The Moon.

The Lone Descent from 2011 frames the mood of an occult mass deep inside a North European forest lit up by torches. But according to the musical mastermind, inspiration is also found in 60s icons such as Lee Hazlewood and Serge Gainsbourg.

Of The Wand And The Moon is beautiful doom music filled with catchy melodies and dark atmosphere.
