Favorite "Folk Metal" album ?!?!?

[Reign in Acai]

I'm curious to hear everyone's opinions on this subject. I own quite a few albums from this genre, and want to know what high caliber albums from this area I've been missing.


P.S Where the fuck is everyone? Nad get's a girlfriend, and everyone else decide to go get lives?

Cruachan - Tuatha Na Gael

 

[Krilons Resa]

 

[MajestikMøøse]

That counts as folk metal?

god dammit

btw hotlinking metal archives doesn't work

 

[J.]

others worth mentioning:

Ha Lela - Pabudimas
Bran Barr - Les Chroniques de Naerg
Zpoan Vtenz - Gime Nugalet

 

[J.]

yeah, some might take the "folk metal" tag and run with it (i.e. empyrium, blind gaydian, primordial, etc...)

of course. its listed as folk metal almost everywhere so why not.

*fixed hotlink

J - Blind Guardian - wtf? *shakes head*

 

[J.]

i said some might list BG as folk metal, whilst being wrong

 

[Nico]

*fixed hotlink

Not really, no.

I know what you said.

If anyone listed BG as folk metal, they should be ashamed. That makes no sense. Why would you even think someone would ever do that?

 

[Krilons Resa]

Not really, no.

fuck hotlinking. pos sites. fixed now since i had to uplaod it myself.

 

[MajestikMøøse]

But seriously

Tuatha Na Gael is the best *real* folk metal album there is

 

[skeptik]

Buy the original one, not the bootleg.

I dont think relating blind guardian to folk metal is that much of a stretch. Albums Like Tales from the Twilight World, Somewhere far Beyond, and Imaginations from the other side have an obvious folk influence.

 

[Vilden]

Nokturnal Mortum - Weltanschauung, probably.

 

[Demilich]

ah fuck i haven't listened to this stuff in too long, can't remember

If it is classified as folk, it's probably the result of someone only hearing the two albums that followed and assuming Songs of Moors is more of the same...

 

[Sanctums]

Not sure of if this counts but anything by the band Wyrd is great. That at least has folk-influences.
