While reading Bandcamp Daily on my feed, I came across a black metal band out of West Virginia called Nechochwen. The article is enlightening, but it got me interested in exploring their music a bit deeper. This particular album, Algonkian Mythos, is technically a ‘metal’ album, but it is so atmospheric that it could almost count as a neofolk album. The instrumentation is sparse and has a spirit of foreboding. This, for my ears, is metal done right.
