I think a lot of people who latch onto that sort of ideology do it to gloss over a lot of personal insecurities; it's a way to go "well, at least I'm not like /them/" about someone, even if it's from an entirely fictitious perspective. Hatred is usually based in a combination of fear and personal insecurity, regardless of what specific ideology it is attached to. I don't think homophobia, classism, or anything else like that comes from anything much different. Anytime someone latches onto something that raises something as superior, and the other as vile, based on arbitrary characteristics. <br /><br />The HouseCathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07783576090040274742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5406319356659344188.post-83872113621444283792016-11-07T21:10:58.321-08:002016-11-07T21:10:58.321-08:00This is perhaps my favorite genre, so I've a f...This is perhaps my favorite genre, so I've a few bands to recomend:<br /><br />Faun—They lean very heavily on the folk side, with many of their song lyrics and melodies being repurposed from old poems and folk songs, although they make much original music too. Before 2013, their music generally had a much more darker and ambient atmoshpere than they do now, so you may enjoy their older songs more, but I personally like a lot of their newer songs too. Some good songs to try imo: Gaia, La Belle Dame Sans Merci, Hymne der Nacht.<br /><br />Wardruna—I just found this band recently, so I can't say too much about them. A lot of their songs defintely have a darker atmosphere, and they're all based upon Norse mythology. As far as I can tell, they don't promote any unsavory ideologies...but sadly it seems much of their fanbase does, and I can't tell if they agg this on or not, so perhaps listen with caution. I just find much of what I've heard of their powerful on a musical level, so that's why I put them here. Song recommendations: Helvegen, Raido, Fehu.<br /><br />Daemonia Nymphe—This band probably has the darkest sound out of all of these, some of their songs sounding almost scary. Their songs are based upon Greek mythology, and the vast majority of their lyrics come from classical works. They don't seem very popular, but I like them. Some songs: Summoning Divine Selene, To Goddess Mnemosyne, The Calling of Naiades.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5406319356659344188.post-21162004758647849062016-11-07T05:04:12.386-08:002016-11-07T05:04:12.386-08:00Here's an 'Industrial' one that might ...Here's an 'Industrial' one that might be of interest.... I'm currently on a bit of a Kraftwerk thing, back to my pre-Punk Pre-Goth days. But When I heard Man in the Mirror from Trans Europe Express I really thought it was a very interesting introspective piece. Is it Goth? No idea. But thought it was very interesting all the same. And I love DCD, particularly Into the Labyrinth, Wind that shakes the Barley - fantastic.

Songs such as "The Holland Hankerchief" come to mind. <br /><br />I wonder though, if any of the above-mentioned racial purists have ever contemplated the fact that everyone except for those of pure African heritage, share a certain amount of neanderthal DNA.Nightwindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07148270720593016700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5406319356659344188.post-7507641828797079852016-11-05T16:58:11.253-07:002016-11-05T16:58:11.253-07:00I know Inkubus Sukkubus - I actually know them fro...I know Inkubus Sukkubus - I actually know them from my pre-Goth days, as I got introduced to them by some witchy friends! I know Nox Arcana, but not Arcana, so I will have to look them up. I don't know much about Levantine music, but I'm curious about music regardless of where it's from.

Many of their songs sound very similar to each other, to be honest, but it's a pleasant music nonetheless. I would also suggest Arcana (not to be mistaken with Nox Arcana), which sort of escapes genres like Dead Can Dance, but I think you would enjoy it. Just keep away from their 'Le serpent rouge' album - it's my favourite, but the melodies are Levatine, not European and romantic.Rahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08973135277948728309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5406319356659344188.post-39807710051566859592016-11-05T11:04:13.851-07:002016-11-05T11:04:13.851-07:00I have now!
