Agalloch combined multiple elements including shoe gaze and black metal. They are named after a type of wood. Lyrical subjects focus on nature. I would highly suggest this artist to anyone new to metal or black metal.
Wolves in the throne room are another black metal (BM) band that focuses on nature. The band is founded by two brothers who are Eco activists and farmers. They believe their music to be 'channelling the spirit of nature' and is expressing the beauty of the northwest US/ cascadian mountains.
Wardruna is a folk project focusing on Nordic heritage. The music is preformed with traditional Norwegian instruments. Lyrics are written in proto-Norwegian.
