Darkwood is the neofolk/apocalyptic folk project of Henryk Vogel. Reviews highlight a move toward acoustic, ensemble-based arrangements (Notwendfeuer, 2007) and praise Schicksalsfahrt (2013) as a high point. Vogel's songs address homeland, history, nature and myth.

Henryk Vogel is from the former East Germany and lives in Dresden. He founded/uses the Heidenvolk label for many releases. He served in the NVA. Darkwood has a rich discography and is associated with the German strand of neo-folk.

DeBaser reviews present Darkwood (Henryk Vogel) as a prominent German neofolk / apocalyptic folk project. Notwendfeuer (2007) marks a turn to acoustic, ensemble-based arrangements; Schicksalsfahrt (2013) is praised as possibly his finest work. Themes: homeland, history, nature, youth and flight.

For:Listeners of neofolk / apocalyptic folk; fans of Forseti, Sonne Hagal, Orplid, and Death in June.

 Darkwood by Henryk Vogel, like the fellow countrymen Forseti, Sonne Hagal, and Orplid, perfectly exemplifies what is meant by the label of German neo-folk.

 With “Schicksalsfahrt” (kudos for the title, as usual simple and easy to transcribe and pronounce) the indefatigable Henryk Vogel reaches the milestone of the eighth full-length album, and he does so in the best way: delivering what remains probably his finest work to date.
