Weird folk
KharBevNor:
Dude just cold took you out.
Plus, you like Converge, so the argument is pretty much over before it starts yes?
Der Golem:
I like Krauka. "Wierd" is a pretty vague definition, but I think they belong here. Danish band, playing northern european folk music. They build many of their own instruments, and the music is for the most part very rootsy, songs are often extremely simplistic, with only a single repeated melody. They have incorporated both modern instruments (electric bass) and electronic influences into their music as well.
I've seen them live, and they did not perform any songs of their albums, they (along with some people who I know not to be in the band) formed a drum circle around an audience of like 20 people, and after a while some of the drummers started singing or playing flutes. Hearing live drumming/music coming from all directions was actually pretty amazing, made a simplistic beat feel really intricate. They also do proper performances of their songs.
Here is a live video.

This thread was a pointless waste of time so I guess now you guys should make it about some post-hardcore band you like or whatever so it actually gets talked in.

Man whatever Cromagnon is the best thing I've heard this year.
KvP:
There is apparently a recently released book about fringe folk

It's cool that you like this thread and all, but all you're doing now is masturbating to an image of it you found in a recent Hustler.
