Les Claypool – Of Fungi and Foe
Posted on 05. May, 2009 by Author in Music
Les Claypool, bass virtuoso and all around musical legend, continues his trademark innovation and eclecticism in his latest release, Of Fungi and Foe. His work on the soundtrack for Pig Hunt, a film about a 3,000 pound wild boar who terrorizes marijuana gardens in Northern California, and Claypool’s original music for Mushroom Men, an interactive game about intelligent fungal life, serve as the backdrop for much of the album. The record draws from a large pool of musical influences and instrumentation, lending it a non-classifiable sound, somewhat akin to the [...]

The Next: Eluveitie and the New Wave of Pagan Folk Metal
Posted on 10. Mar, 2008 by James in Lifestyle, Music
I know what you’re asking, “There was a first wave?” Yeah, I’m kind of fuzzy on that too. I remember hearing of a band a few years back, Skyforger, out of Latvia that combined crushing black metal intensity with traditional folk instrumentation (check out “Tumsa Un Sala” on their MySpace page — it’s rifftastic). That group formed in 1995, so maybe they’re the first wave.
I didn’t really get hip to this stuff until last year when Finnish pagan folk metal group Finntroll released Ur Jordens Djup. Despite being rooted in [...]
