Festive Metal

[hibernal_dream]

I've been in a jolly mood lately, listening to a lot of happy and festive stuff like Gamma Ray, Mithotyn, Falconer and In Flames. To continue my jolly binge, however, I need lesser known bands I might not have heard. Whatever genre you like, as long as it's jolly!!

In Flames have the happy leads over the top. And those bands are a bit too well known for someone who's been into metal for 12 years :Smug:

If you've been listening to metal for 12 years you should already have plenty of good ole' jolly metal in your collection.

Equilibrium is a great jolly Vking band, as it Obtest, only not as good. I have Equilibrium on my MySpace top friends <<< Check them out.

Elvenking is pretty jolly.

 

[The Ozzman]

Finntroll?

Elvenking is pretty jolly.

The first album, definitely. The new one is a real downer. Wyrd and WInter Wake are in between.

Swashbuckle - jolly pirate death metal.

 

[Belligerent]

Ensiferum

 

[hibernal_dream]

Heard all these except for Swashbuckle. MORE OBSCURE!

 

[Vilden]

The Lord Weird Slough Feg is pretty jolly at times too.

For Holmgard, and beyond
That's where the winds will us guide
For fame and for gold
Set sail for those lands unknown
