Just copy & paste the URL 😉

I of course made a mistake: the first song was Hearthside Lullaby by Nox Arcana.
here’s BrunuhVille’s The Voice of the Forest –>

Yuor last-suggested piece from the movie “Perfume” is indeed mesmerizing!! And yes, probably Nox Arcana have “unconscious” Pagan sneitments, like most of the “normies”, anyway…

I just wish more Pagans (including myself) could play music…

{{{Modern movies}}} rely on special effects, spectacularism and propaganda. Old, as well as modern non-degenerate movies, heavily rely on music. “For a few dollars more” just comes to my mind.

Thanks for the contributions. What format do you use to embed the videos?
At first I thought Nox Arcana was inspired by paganism, but the art says Veni Veni Emmanuel… Speaking of lullabies, I used to have trouble sleeping and one of the things that helped me were folk European melodies.

So my next contribution is not just one song but a playlist of ancient Swedish herding calls known as Kulning. The artist is Jonna Jinton, famous on the internet for being the girl who sings to the cows. Ethereal and otherworldly.
Kulning – Ancient Swedish herding calls

A classic is of course Burzum. No need for links here.

That’s where you’re wrong kiddo XD Links to Burzum music are always needed.

Varg created this for one of his sons I think, he composed the melody on the spot after his wife gifted him a small lyre. Sounds like a classic folk lullaby but it’s a fairly recent creation.
Den Store Søvn

Black Metal journey along the River of Forgetfulness.
Glemselens Elv

One of the tracks from ForeBears.
Feðrahellir

Last is an operatic piece from the movie Perfume: The Story of a Murderer. The mood is elation after witnessing an angelic beauty, almost with religious awe. The composer is Australian, the lyrics are in Italian and the film is set in France. Diversity done right!

I’ll add BrunuhVille’s The Voice of the Forest

I use it to find inspirations during the long winter nights. It speaks volumes to my soul.

A classic is of course Burzum. No need for links here.

I’ll end it with a gem: Enya’s May It Be, for Lord of the Rings’ fans:

PS: thank you for this thread, “After the Rain” 🙂

Let’s go, all of us, seedbombing the world with good music!

Thanks, I got fed up with “plastic” music produced for mass consumption, I want something more authentic.
Post the links to those bands, so it’s easier to have everything in one thread without having to google it 🙂

Today I bring you bagpipes from Spain. Haunting and mysterious, but not dark or moody. It’s actually a very “bright” upbeat song.
Busindre Reel

The Celtic spirit is alive. Magical and soothing, but also gently invigorating. Surely many of you remember this gem.
The Celts

Finnish Power Metal and gentle flutes. A folk dance under moonlight, in a wintry forest…

Your are very knowledgeable,”After the Rain”!! Thank you for your wonderful insights into European music!!

I’ll add –>

the Queen of Metal: Myrkur!

the magical folkmusic of Lettland (TDA Līgo, for example!)

the mesmerizing celtic music of OMWOLDON!

[After the Rain]

European music is so beautiful and varied, we have everything from classical to folk, from metal to renaissance, from medieval to rock. Usually though only pop music gets the spotlight, and most of what gets promoted on mainstream media is terribly Americanised and generic. Musical labels also love to push wigger artists as the hottest new trend.
But let’s not despair! There is a very rich and diverse music tradition in all European countries, let’s post the less mainstream ones.

I’ll start with Hungary. Hungarian choirs are so ethereal and soothing. They are featured in a lot of movie soundtracks but this type of Hungarian music is not very famous.
Forgive and Forget

Next is a Corsican folk song with a more Mediterranean sound. I think Mediterranean music tends to be more “sensual” somehow?
Arinella Bianca

Last but not least, and maybe a bit unexpected, is Icelandic cellist Hildur Guðnadóttir who composed for the Joker and Chernobyl soundtracks. Her music is heavy and haunting.
Call me Joker

So guys post non mainstream music from your country or others 🙂
