Art Needs An Operation returns with part one of two exploring the deep rooted connections between Folk and Black Metal.⠀
⠀
These two genres come across as opposites, yet Folk and Black Metal are undeniable connected through a reverence of nature and paganism.⠀
⠀
Whilst the joyous celebration of the natural world Folk embodies is the complete antithesis of the bleak view of nature within Black Metal there are distinct intersections between the two, which this mix sets out to join the dots between.⠀
⠀
This mix includes Folk & Neofolk, Black Metal & Pagan Black Metal, and sounds that cannot be described as either genre but feel at home with the overall atmosphere.⠀
⠀
Tune in next month for part 2, touching on Dark Ambient, Drone, and Ritual Industrial sounds.⠀
