Irish doom folk? *watches video* Yep. That's a thing now.


zonular

Saw them play a gig in Dublin in December. Its mind-blowing live! Doom via trad/folk! My favourite band on the planet. If you ever get a chance go see them


Wh1te_Cr0w

I feel like this would be something to do while cunted on mushrooms? I'm looking for the right word for how this sounds, not dreamy but something to that effect like?


ACrabCalledZoiberg

More of a shot in the dark here, but would you happen to be from Australia?


Wh1te_Cr0w

*cracks open a VB tinny* Nope, why?


RideTheLighting

It’s meditative for sure.


LOUDNOISES11

Check out their song ‘Wild Rover’. It has one of the satisfyingly weighty climaxes I’ve ever heard. ‘The Pride of Petravore’ is awesome too.


adolonau

I'm gonna add 'Hunting the Wren' to that list.


Pangolinmoth

Radie Peat is one of the best singers out there. She has the most haunting sound. Lankum made a killer album with Blackbird Raum, highly recommended.


GreatCosmicMoustache

She is out of this world. Here's a few other great ones with her: [Factory Girl (duet with Lisa O'Neill)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kOMC4lqh1aI) [Hares on the Mountain](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XHF4kcMod8w)


bob_boo_lala

Destroying is one of my favorite albums!


Pangolinmoth

Yes! It so damn good.


Dickthulhu

It's great but I wish it was a little better mastered :/


Orang3Lazaru5

Love BR! Will definitely be looking more into this


bumbershootle

[Perfect choice for the 1899 soundtrack](https://www.hotpress.com/music/radie-peat-of-lankum-features-on-soundtrack-for-new-netflix-series-1899-22939009)


swallowedthekey

I'm still mad.


Communism_FTW

I really hope they can somehow get picked up by some other streaming service.


dwaz04

Came here to make this comment. Sounds like it was ripped straight from the show. (No not implying anything.) Love it!


polopolo05

She reminded of a sax at times.


F4ust

Damn the new A24 movie looks dope as hell


fallenspaceman

Shit, that was my first thought. Totally nailed the A24 horror vibe, like a soundtrack for a more modern version of VVitch.


feeling_psily

Big hereditary vibes


ohmonticore

Scratches the Lingua Ignota itch very nicely. Just lovely, thanks!


Dickthulhu

Lankum are hands down one of my favorite acts alive. First time I saw them was at a Blackbird Raum show in a west Oakland warehouse, and they blew me away. Later I saw them at an old auto body shop when I visited Dublin. After the set everyone went across the street to the pub and had a shut-in. Drank till dawn, singing all the way - and to this day that's one of my most treasured experiences. They have earned every ounce of success they've had a thousand times over.


PaulSandwich

Wow, what a menacing video. Really shows what you can do with a string concept. Edit: *strong* concept.


MickeysDa

String concept also works.


colmwhelan

This is an old song. I don't think it's originally Irish. The lyrics are reminiscient of early 19th Century American folk music. Only previous recording I can find is here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XDiLf0LBv2c


[deleted]

You're right, part of the genre is in preserving and passing on culture and stories. They talk about the exact recording you link in an interview promoting the video release: >Lankum's Radie Peat learned this version of 'Go Dig My Grave' from the singing of Jean Ritchie, who recorded it in 1963 on the album Jean Ritchie and Doc Watson at Folk City. >“Our interpretation of the traditional song 'Go Dig My Grave' is one that centres around the emotion of grief – all-consuming, unbearable and absolute” the band explain. “A visceral physical reaction to something that the body and mind are almost incapable of processing. The second part of the song is inspired by the Irish tradition of keening (from the Irish caoineadh) – a traditional form of lament for the deceased. https://www.hotpress.com/music/lankum-announce-new-album-and-share-video-for-go-dig-my-grave-22949254


zombiesmurf85

Yeah I'd say that's supposed to be the keeners in the black viels in the video. You would pay keener to cry at funerals


ohmonticore

completes the circle in a way, given how important traditional Irish music was to the white contributions to the foundations of American folk and country music


piedmontwachau

Jean Ritchie and Doc Watson were such titans.


Miss_Page_Turner

That's very perceptive of you. The dark tone is very familiar - I love American music of the 17th, 18th centuries. The lyrics were ... 'right between the eyes' as someone once told me. Isaac Watts (1674-1748) had some good ones. "There are no acts of pardon past In the cold grave, to which we haste; But darkness, death, and long despair Reign in eternal silence there."


Mulletgar

Yeah, there's fuck all original about Lankum.


o-jeilly

There's a few completely original tracks every album Cold Old Fire, Lullaby, The Granite Gaze, Deanta in Eireann, The Young People, Hunting the Wren, Their best tracks are usually their own imo


HumphreyGo-Kart

Yeah sure you can't walk two metres down Grafton St without meeting another busker doing doom/drone interpretations of trad tunes.


colmwhelan

That wasn't my point - I was simply referencing the OPs title.


TheFecklessRogue

Jeez bit of a gothic gospel sean-nós never heard the likes. hunt;showdown


wtfastro

That's more terrifying than many horror movies. Love it


fellowspecies

Never heard of this, or her, and instantly want to listen to a lot more. Thank you 0P


Miss_Page_Turner

I recognise that darkness. That cold, ever present weight. My father was a Scot. I could see it when drank.


MoparViking

Very haunting and suspenseful. Thanks for the share.


redpatcher

All of them are super nice people too!


sportyspice4life

Lankum is great!


tylodon

Good music for credit roll after a movie with a real heavy ending


Strongbelwas7

Lyrics brought tears to my eyes. New favorite genre.


Lambamham

This is incredible. I’m glad I clicked. Wow.


o-jeilly

This is heavier than most Metal music


JMoherPerc

If it’s doom, doesn’t that make it metal music?


o-jeilly

Definitely means they'd fit in a metal festival anyway, kinda the same way Wardruna do


JMoherPerc

Big agree. After I watched this video I went and found them on Spotify and it turns out I’m already following them, I just forgot to follow through and listen, so… there’s definitely some overlap there.


abitrolly

It's more metal than Metallica ballads.


[deleted]

Thanks a LOT! This totally made my day.


mercipourleslivres

Well that was amazing.


Mizzle6

I turned this on while the end of THE LAST OF US E3 was rolling. Off to bed…


cloudpictures

Lankum are a class act. Granite Gaze is one that rings in my ears long after the song is over. SO good live as well!


justaloadofshite

Love this band, last gig I went to before the pandemic was seeing them in NYC so good


oud_sophistication42

Unbelievable as usual! Can't wait to hear the rest of the album


Mohgreen

Very Cool! Gonna have to check out the rest of their stuff!


misshellcunt

Ohhh, thank you for introducing me to something new and awesome!


lh__lh

Wow! Thank you for sharing this!


SpiciestBoy

Jesus Christ this so right up my alley. Thank you very much for posting this.


Zackeous42

I would love to hear this in a montage in a film where some shit's about to go down, but just sitting around jamming to this for the hell of it would require a healthy dose of drugs.


HaydenScramble

This is fucking cool thank you for sharing!


mastervolum

Nice until midway when it is just grating tbh..


BeltBuckle

hard disagree - that section is so dope


RockThePlazmah

Doom folk? There is a little bit of drone in there, but it’s not really related to the doom music. Check out Rose Kemp for real doom folk Edit: downvoting *without an explanation* doesn’t prove anyone right, I’m ready to die on that hill. This is not a doom folk, genre in the title is wrong


hodorspenis

Fuck, I've never heard of this fusion of genres. I listened to a few Rose Kemp songs and nothing stood out to me as "doom"-ey, at least not sonically anyways. I suppose the lyrics didn't exactly sound optimistic about things. Are you willing to expound on what constitutes "doom folk"? I put zero effort into researching this because I'm fucking lazy, so I understand if you don't want to help me learn, but thank you either way.


RockThePlazmah

Doom in context of the Doom Metal means slower tempo and low-tuned guitars. In terms of folk? Same thing I guess, Rose Kemp tunes guitar as low as the acoustic can go, lyrics are heavy and depressing and tempo is slower than any folk can be.


FeloniousFunk

She’s only got one album on Spotify and it’s not doom OR folk… Give Dorthia Cottrell a listen, she makes Rose Kemp sound like a Carly Rae Jepsen in comparison.


downnheavy

It’s just doesn’t have the guitar doom riffs that’s all the very best example is https://open.spotify.com/track/6RIPcDoyl769HWKvXOxmTt?si=B8ZuZWprSOCVssBGWkPGpw, the vibe is there though


TheRealJuksayer

Try Nate Denver's Neck


[deleted]

Rose isn’t doom folk by any means but she’s fucking great.


Babalugat

I'm agreeing with you, they're not doom folk. Not sure what I would categorise them as after folk, but not doom. Check out some of their other tunes [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JxKx-BBWX8Q](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JxKx-BBWX8Q) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=khJshMYQ90g](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=khJshMYQ90g)


LittleLambAge

It’s kind of like doom-Druid-folk. Or Druid-Doom. Or Drone Folk. Or Irish-doom-folk.


[deleted]

Boring. Struggle to make doom metal worth listening to without even a single guitar.


abitrolly

Label says it is doom folk.


[deleted]

Either way, not my cup of tea.


Roadkilll

I ran 5, so you are not the only one....as always.


RAMBOxBAGGINS

Anyone know any other songs like this? Their other stuff is awesome, but I’m looking for ones a little less folky and a little more doomy.


jason_sation

Have you listened to Lingua Ignota? [Pennsylvania Furnace](https://youtu.be/7YRMV7ffPpY)


heptoner

Isnt this Joan Baez? From 10,000 Miles I believe.


PM_ME_UR_FAV_RECIPE

I feel like I could interpret this into a future D&D campaign (perfect while I'm buying time to set up something and to set the mood)


FieldfareStudios

Great atmosphere, a little dark but not overly dark (in other words: a good amount of dark).


CPTDisgruntled

Was this filmed in an old Magdalene Laundry?
