have you heard Cruachan? http://www.cruachan.cjb.net/ they are an irish version of what i mean.

also, i've found a song called Atman from Rudra which has it.

anything which uses traditional instruments, i would like even more. one of those coconut violins, for example.

thanks for responding. :]

Try the new upcoming NETHEREALM (Singapore) material. Some of the metal riffs are based on oriental tunes. You might like it, especially if you're chinese.

Eastern Metal is term that being used by bands with archipelagic, eastern occultism lyrics and musically, melodic!

Netherealm seems interesting. Do you know where I can sample and/or buy a cd?

So, I guess that some "eastern metal" bands use eastern melodies, but some don't? would you consider it similar to the black/viking metal genre?

i really like eastern melodies.
