Yes, we somehow ended up discussing folk metal on this thread a little while ago.

I got Korpiklaani's Voice Of Wilderness album straight away.  The beer, hunting and beer-hunting songs are great fun, but I must admit I actually prefer the folkier tracks.  It's all good stuff!
BKPs I've Got:  RR, BKP-91, ITs, VHII, CS set, Emeralds
BKPs I Had:  RY+Abraxas, Crawlers, BD+SM

Sounds like Dropkick Murpphies on steroids.

This band shoul be able to throw quite the party at a fest.

I suddenly feel the need to get some bagpipes.

Yeah, one of my friends in Finland turned me on to them.  I'm a sucker for folk music, metal, and beer, so it was all a beautiful thing!  8)

I like these guys! Saw them at Wacken Open Air.

I prefer Finntroll though on the whole... but both are amazing party \ festival bands 8)


Check out Ensiferum aswell, similarish style band :)

Theres gotta be a faster light speed thrash polka band somewhere...probably from Finland or Russia ;) \m/

Very likely! :)  I did once, in the States, see a band that billed itself as "Mennonite speed metal" -- and I kinda think I saw another that billed itself as "Hassidic speed metal" -- but it's possible that I hallucinated at least one of those (if not both .....).  It was a long time ago, and I may not have been fully with it  :lol:

A friend recently brought me back some Estonian folk-metal, and it was very good, but not in the same vibe as Finntroll and Korpiklaani.  There's something in the water up there though .... It's probably the aquavit!  :twisted:

i missed out:

Turisas (another battle metal type folk and thrash outing)

Haggard

Folk Earth (getting heavier\blacker...)

Battlelore are another.. dont really like them though.

And for really speedy riff tastic folk metal, Mithotyn are great... tough to find their stuff now though.


Enjoy :D
