A new sub-genre. Is Svetonio one of the editors?
I kinda like the article, but I'm afraid the (usual) namechecking of the mandatory (yet truly fabulous) Comus along with a bunch of less important acts somehow gives the "hipster" factor off. eah, I know, Current 93 aren't exactly inessential. But to refer any 'folk-horror' and drop Tyrannosaurus Rex' "Wind Cheetah", Tea & Symphony's "Nothing Will Come to Nothing", Pearls Before Swine's "Surrealist Waltz", Simon Finn's "Jerusalem", Jan Dukes de Grey and countless other seriously spooky treats from the main generation of the undergrund psych-folk configuration, sorely exhibits this article's originator as one of the altogether relatively discredited "post-punk" paradigm of rock musicology.
Still worth a read or even two, tho'.

Yeah I guess that they have used a new name for the darker sub genre of Acid Folk Rock or Pagan Rock

Sort of interesting, but Horror Folk is no Dungeon Synth!
