Which ones have you listened to? Judging from what I've seen so far I think you'd probably be into My Father Will Guide Me Up a Rope to the Sky or Soundtracks for the Blind, but I think you'll have more success going through the Angels of Light discography (though I don't know how into neofolk you are).

I listened to To Be Kind. Just downloaded Soundtracks for the Blind.

Seer and White Light. I tried listening to the debut for a forum game, but I couldn't get past the second track.

I think Love of Life is their best album personally. It's the best mix of the folky with the brutal and the psychedelic.

Ja, mordwyr, Filth is definitely not for you (one of my favourites though).

Still, by far, Children is their masterpiece

Seer was fantastic. I'm not into them, though. I think their edginess borders on obsession with the sound. And as much as I like diversity, it feels like they can't keep a sound. Still, I don't deny, judging by the two I've heard, that they have talent.

If you look through their discography, particularly stuff from the last two decades, and you'll find one pretty easily.

You mean the post-rock? I was gonna say. I was really referring to their earlier works, though.

There's a hypnotic element to all of their albums that makes their sound singular imo. There's also the fact that they cycled through a lot of different members throughout the years.
