If you like medieval-inspired Folk then there's a lot of good stuff from Germany.SchandmaulSubway to SallyRagnarökIn ExtremoHaggardCorvus CoraxSaltatio MortisSchelmishTaunusheim...

Maybe Midnattsol but I've never figured what's so great about them... A really good band I discovered lately: Gaia! (on't mix them up with other bands, there are a lot out there with that name)It's Metal with old Korean elements.O_oIf you're into new stuff try them out.

But, a few she didn't mention... Heol Telwen, Cruachan, Svartsot, Odroerir, Pagan Reign, Yggdrasil, Wolfchant, Glittertind, Belenos, Windir (but, they're more or less viking metal), Thorondir, Mithotyn, Finsterforst, Fferyllt, Dark Forest (though, they're more viking/pagan metal), and Crom. If you're into softer folk and ambient folk and whatnot, check out Vali, October Falls, Tenhi, Equimanthorn, Of The Wand & The Moon, and Empyrium.

HORUS Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 Primordial is a mandatory Folk Metal band. Get their latest two albums, The Gathering Wilderness and To The Nameless Dead. It's a combination of Black Metal and Folk Metal, kinda. Very funking epic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get their latest two albums' date=' [i']The Gathering Wilderness[/i] and To The Nameless Dead. It's a combination of Black Metal and Folk Metal, kinda. Very f***ing epic. This may come as a surprise, but I've not listened to much Primordial. I've heard mixed reviews and never gotten around to listening to them.

Their first few albums aren't really worth getting at all. The Wilderness Is Gathering was an overall good album, and To The Nameless Dead was way overhyped by fans and became really overrated. I didn't even know about them till I got Metal Blade's free summer sampler last year at Mayhem Festival. The negative reviews are the ones by people who think it's overrated. They are very good, but they are overrated. Also, their singer is just plain awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
