Folk Metal

[Flappy Hoohah]

any recommendations? I'm into stuff like Einherjer, Arkona (russian not polish) and Drudkh.

Have you heard of Suidakra? They are a folk black metal band as they call it, they started as straight black metal in the beginning but later changed. I would recommend Emprise to Avalon, and Signs of the Fallen. Very good sound.

I'll check those out. I've found a couple banRAB on heavytorrents.org, I'm more into folk black metal than folk power metal but I'm willing to give anything a try. I'll see if I can download some Suidarka tonight.

nice I'll check those out as well...I'm about to look up Suidakra

just checked em out. pretty good shit but it sounded more like a death\black metal band than folk metal.

 

[sexyeyes12]

Pagan Reign
Fjoergyn (Viking/Folk/Black)
Korpiklaani
Windir
Moonsorrow
Agalloch

 

[Mikara]

I guess you should check out WIntersun too, they are a melodic death band, with folk in there. Good shit

 

[suzuki rider]

Primordial ftw
must also recommend Empyrium, though they're more folk than metal

 

[crissie_95]

Asmegin is pretty good. They're pretty similar to Finntroll. And Cruachan are cool if you like celtic music.

 

[byrd_legs]

Older Ensiferum, like Iron and self titled back when Jari was the guitarist.

 

[Vicente]

Wintersun is not a melodic death band, they're a viking metal band, as was JAri's old band... Ensiferum.

Meh, whatever, they are still bad ass.
