[The Emptier]

c'mon dude just posting a huge list of "folk metal" bands is gay because half of those are not tr00 "folk metal"

 

[Chairman Kaga]

lol.

 

[Altitudes]

Old Folk Metal is the music of choice at senior rest homes

 

[Gurby]

Since when is Slechtvalk Folk Metal? I always thought it was nowadays White Black Metal, and earlier just black metal with some synths

 

[Chairman Kaga]

^listen to At Dawn Of War

 

[Crzy_Aus]

Yeah, other than the stuff said already, I thought I'd need to mention:

Shaman (now Korpiklaani)
Folkearth
Cruachan
Arkona (awesome, unique, and for once non-celtic and non-viking folk black metal)
Falkenbach
Pagan Reign

etc. and many other pagan bands out there


But seriously, C_K, that list was just retarded, a lot of it isn't nearly folk. How the f*ck is Amorphis, Elvenking, Moonspell, Nocturnal Mortum and Tanzwut even on there? It's bullsh*t.

^listen to At Dawn Of War

One song doesn't change the style. CoB did Oops I Did It Again, doesn't mean they're a pop-rock band =))

 

[Chairman Kaga]

^you're so lulzy, you know that?

Check out... Tales from the Thousand Lakes, The Karelian Isthmus, To Oak Woods Bestowed, Heathenreel, Wyrd, The Winter Wake, and Goat Horns

 

[Gurby]

^listen to At Dawn Of War

aah yeah fuck! I forgot that one

 

[Earth Breather]

god damnit, does no one know of XIV Dark Centuries???!!!

 

[Gurby]

^yes I do, but not very well....!!

Brr, I forgot the old Elvenking >.< And I never really came across those folky Amorphis songs >.<

But Moonspell and Tanzwut are still off the list And if Nocturnal Mortum did a couple folky-sounding songs, read what I wrote in the prev. post.

 

[Gurby]

Maybe Heidevolk a little bit?
It's more folk than Metal, but still brilliant

 

[Chairman Kaga]

But Moonspell and Tanzwut

Those two didn't make it as obvious as others; however, in Tanzwut they did use folky instruments. That doesn't make it folk though, it just has the hints of it. Moonspell only has a few hints.
