"Celtic" Metal

[WNxScythe]

My friend has asked me for metal reccommendations... he's into "celtic" type stuff... a couple of his favorites are Suidakra and Blind Guardian (not that the latter is celticy)

Any suggestions?

 

[Life Sucks]

Primordial. Well, at least they're a folk metal band from Ireland. And just about anyone into metal would enjoy their latest, The Gathering Wilderness.

Cruachan
Waylander
Belinus
Mael Mordha

 

[The Weaver of Dreams]

Yep, Cruachan, early (!) Waylander, partly also Skyclad...

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Cruachan's new stuff totally sucked my ass. I got rid of it as fast as I could. Their older stuff is good though.

Check out Aes Dana. Celtic-folk-tinged BM from France.

 

[Krilons Resa]

The Lord Weird Slough Feg (minus Traveller)

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Yeah they are good too.

 

[Life Sucks]

Also, check out Geasa. Celtic black metal from Ireland. Good stuff.

Waylander

This band makes me laugh a lot. They're really bad. Well the intro track is pretty cool though, and very celtic influenced...

Well, their second album flat out sucked, but the debut was quite nice.

ANother band that should be checked out is France's Bran Barr.

Absu

I find The Light, The Dark, and the Endless Knot to be mediocre, but I don't think it sucks. In fact, I can't think of any album by an Irish metal band that sucks.

Tir Na Nog!!

morrigan

 

[KMADD]

I agree about Primordial good stuff!

 

[RosesofShadow]

I second the Absu, Primordial and Cruachan

 

[Chasm]

It's not really metal, but definately check out either of Proscriptor's solo albums.

 

[The Devil's Steed]

It's not really metal, but definately check out either of Proscriptor's solo albums.

What is it, then? And where can some MP3s be heard (assuming I can't find any on Soulseek)?

 

[no country for old wainds]

Forefather are "Anglo-Saxon metal", and they're cool.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

It's dark ambient-y industrial celtic rock-ish stuff. Hard to describe but it's pretty good.
