New Sturmpercht albums out on the 8th of May During their work on the sold-out 10 years jubilee 8LP boxset, the Austrian pioneers of Alpine Folk Music created this Dark-Psychedelic collection of scary tales around the holy mount Untersberg. Legends telling about people who went inside the hollow mountain, to visit Kaiser Karl and his […]

As the world continues its routines, Heathen Harvest has been working on this second compilation in honour of the upcoming Walpurgisnacht. As the days brighten and the air warms, the final swansong of the dark beckons this 30th April. In celebration of this occasion Heathen Harvest brings you a compilation album to mark this sublime […]

Before saying anything at all in regards to this release, I have to admit that I was one of those whom purposely avoided anything to do with its original incarnation on France’s Faunasabbatha because of the — perhaps irrational — fear that I’d quickly tear the thing apart in hatred, due in part to frustration […]

Sagittarius is the brainchild of Cornelius Waldner and, together with  Marcel P., Herr Twiggs and Theresia W., forms the core of the German neofolk project Sagittarius.
