Preliminary searches indicate that the term Neo-medieval music is not a much used in classical music (I could find only one reference in major reference works to one piece by Wagner), there are few more references to this in avante gard modern composition and this should probably be made clear. I could also find no references whatsoever in reliable sources to Mittelalter metal or Mittelalter rock as part of this genre (although those with more knowledge in this field can better confirm or deny this), in fact they were only used together in any source I could find to point out the differences between the two genres. The terms seems to be almost exclusively used to describe music deriving from various branches of dark wave music.
Clearly neo-medieval is not a catch all for all forms of modern medieval influenced music. I suggest that this article is cleaned up, references supplied where possible for those bands mentioned and material moved from medieval rock that deals with those bands originating in dark wave. The distinction from Mittelalter metal needs to be made clear (not a fusion of this I think - although clear redirection might be useful) It is unclear to me how bands who produce medieval and renaissance music, often for renaissance fairs, should be classified - this may be their correct genre too, but this needs further investigation. I will return to this after a reasonable amount of time given for comments and suggestions.-- Sabrebd ( talk) 21:30, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
