Did you miss the New Moon, May 30 roundup of folk and metal? In our bi-weekly, lunar-spun round-up of Kurgan-approved releases and news, James Paterson ably reports of music from colder climes focusing on a wide range of metal, neofolk, and world artists.

Totally worth the read — and even more so the listens. Great new folk and metal releases. Reasonably sure James @jameslpaterson Paterson would agree. 🎵🎸
April has brought much musical excellence through the goddess of spring Ôstara as she danced forth under the Pink Moon — such full moons were unique to our ancestors. Why so? Read on!

Definitely worth playing, and Steam user reviews seem to agree. Heck, I’d say our opinion is on par with @AdventureGamers review. #pointandclick #Syberia @Microids_off
“The game’s story is a demonstration of how engaging the environment publisher Microids and its Paris development studio have crafted really is. On that note, it is safe to say ‘Syberia: The World Before’ is worth exploring more than once.” @adewritesstuff

Three MILLIONS of monthly listeners on Spotify is, like, out of this world! @Sabaton does not get the recognition they deserve, especially having in mind modern metal bands (those who sing of angst and depression aka crap lyrics and emo bullshit) are not even close.
OVER 3 MILLION (❗️) monthly listeners on @Spotify 🤘
Thank YOU all for blasting our music like crazy!

Personally, I really liked the new @AssassinsCreed: Valhalla soundtracks by @StephEconomou & @EinarSelvik1.
ICYMI: Yesterday’s New Moon offered news like @Wardruna’s rework of ‘Skugge’ and a plethora of new singles from @Herknungr2, @atergolupi_, @Alkonost_band, @finntrollmusic, @StephEconomou, @sabaton. @EinarSelvik1, and @kjellbraaten — this is a must-read.

ICYMI: James Paterson picked the brain of Swedish artist Andreas Axelsson and his distinct-sounding neofolk project Nattramn. Sharing little-known knowledge on lost runes and ancient tones, Axelsson also spoke of his Aethelwyne-collab, ravens, and more.

Excellent preview/opinion piece by Cody Perez. @Stillbring
ICYMI: Not much is known about the new God of War storyline, but what we do know is that it will feature Týr, the Norse god of justice and war who in ancient, pre-Viking times seems to have been a more important deity than Thor and Odin. @SonySantaMonica

The frame grabs shown in the article, from the earlier D&D films, look surprisingly cool — especially given how long ago they were made (2000, 2005, 2012.) @Wizards_DnD
Some truly awesome releases kick of the neofolk, metal, and rock scenes of 2021! Iz a party!
We are proud to let you know that today is the premiere of a new biweekly, jam-packed ‘Full Moon Fortnightly’ article series that will round up the best new Kurgan-approved releases of 2022.

This soundtrack was released with almost no marketing behind it, always as if Einar Selvik & Ubisoft Music wanted it to fly under the radar. What do you think? I might be on to a new #conspiracytheory!
ICYMI: Read Adam Hurd’s review of the most recent AC Valhalla soundtrack — unsurprisingly composed by Wardruna’s Einar Selvik. But is it any good? Let's find out! @assassinscreed #soundtrack #folklorethursday

Beklager å se at @Hulkoff:s Ragnarök ikke er inkludert.

Tristan Zelden has dissected Praey for the Gods while noting “the bosses are epic, each with its own unique attacks, looks, and puzzles.” Full review, after the jump. @nomatterstudios

Shout out to @witchergame & @witchernetflix
From live concerts and tributes to a debut folk EP straight out of Sweden, the week has delivered. If there was any genre of music worth ringing in the New Year with, neofolk and the heavy sounds of metal are high on the list.

The well-worded Mark @Stillbring Ottarp served up some truly good news for fans of folk and such!
ICYMI: Though not the busiest roundup, last week brought excitement through big announcements, new singles, and albums launched from the best in neofolk and heavy metal. @Sowuloband @NinjaTheory @VOLBEAT

ICYMI: We take a good look at Microsoft-exclusive strategy title Age of Empires IV; developed by @relicgames under the supervision of Xbox Game Studio, first-party developer World’s Edge. #Xbox #Windows11

Great review by Robert Kohls. Mark Ottarp @Stillbring seems to agree!
Video game review! ‘Kingdom Two Crowns: Norse Lands’ is inspired by Norse mythology, and introduces new features, content, and gameplay into the world of Kingdom Two Crowns.
Also, @KalandraMusic has composed a wonderful soundtrack! @RawFury @stumpysquid
