Folk Noir was a term originally coined by photographer David Mearns to describe the music of mid-period Sol Invictus. It is generally related to Tursa Records-related bands. It is sometimes found on webzines as a more neutral term, without the specific connotations of neofolk, but the meaning is largely the same though the usage of the term noir hints at an overall dark subject matter relating to historical, often British, subjects. Other vague terms sometimes used to describe artists of this genre include dark folk and pagan folk.
