An evening of Pagan Folk Metal -- this is where we listen and drink beer together!!

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

the new forefather song on their myspace "Loyalty Bound" is pretty good, a little more variety than they seem to usually have in one song (my only real gripe with forefather is that the drums on their albums seem to be about 98% blast beats).

Like I do every now and then, I went on kerrazy-torrents.net and dloaded everything with the words pagan, folk, or viking in the description and came across Kromlek - "Strange Rumours... Distant Tremors"
Pretty epic Viking/Folk Metal, I'm diggin it a lot. There are folk melodies all over this bitch. Listener be warned though, they seem to occasionally venture into the jollyfolk realm.

I just bought Dub Buk's first album, and for me it's good, epic, and pagany.

One more that I came across in my travels through the intarweb (this is what happens when you're jobless and you left your social life back at college):
Slavland - Echa Wieków Pradawnych
This Polish band's latest effort has much balls, and some cool folk instrument work.

New arkona rules, they've left most of the jollyfolk behind and gotten more aggressive.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

is it out?

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

I think so, but i dont think its hit US sites yet. I dloaded a leak.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

bah! stupid US

Coverart for the upcoming Arkona album:

Odd album. Features thrash/speed metal riffs, jollyfolk, mournful clean vocals, happy vocals, harsh vocals, accordion.....they throw everything into the mix, and it all blends together very well. Haven't heard any other Arkona but on one listen in, this new one seems very promising...

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

Yeah its pretty awesome. I suggest you check out Vo Slavu Velikim next, its a little more jolly, but its great.

 

[Reign in Acai]

[Reign in Acai]
