I don't know if this band Shaman has been brought up or not but my friend just told me about them.

http://www.naturalbornrecords.com/shaman.htm

They sound pretty good from the samples on the site.

 

[Blood and Fat]

Shaman? ain't that ex-Angra?

 

[Vladimir]

I don't think so..
Shaman is quite good.
I have a link with their website.

Let's just hope Gåte didn't ruin it all for them, and
that Lumsk stay metal, and don't go for the rock

(Yeah, I don't really like Gåte all that much)

Someone just recommend them to me again...

 

[Djöfull]

WOW!!! SHAMAN IS GREAT!!!!

 

[Morgana]

Check them right now....

[Pancakes]

I like Ashley MacIsaac, if that counts.

 

[Pancakes]

Actually, I'm listening to him right now...

Sounds good, but gets a little repetative...

*bump* >)

Bringing this thread back for a couple of bands...

Since Futhark hasn't done it yet, I will -->
www.glittertind.cjb.net

This is Futhark's one man project and I think
it's pretty damn good, so you should all check
it out! )

Glittertind (our old buddy Futhark's band) has a new album
out, it's been reviewed in the latest Scream magazine (4/6)!
I have yet to hear it, but I know I will )
New link: http://www.glittertind.net/

And the new Ásmegin album rules! It's a _great_ combination
of extreme metal and folk! I love it!

Lumsk have a new album out very SOON! I'm definitely
getting it! >)

What else is up in the world of folk music?

 

[Thrymfal]

theres a band called nordwind...you can find some of their stuff on kazaa, mostly guitar and vocals in a troubadour style. i suggest ode to odin

 

[Futhark]

Thanks for your post here and in my guestbook Blackspirit
I got very good critics in Scream, more than I had hoped for so that was very pleasing... I'm currently working with an EP/demo. I hope that the demo will give me a contract with good distrubution.. We'll see.. ;-)
Cheers!

Haha! Cool! >)

I downloaded your mp3s and I have to say you have a really
punky sound >) \,,/

But seriously, it was such a shock to read that review in Scream.
I was like "Glittertind....? GLITTERTIND?!?!?!?!?!?!?" hehe P

I have to stay more updated!

Anyways, good to see you here again )

@ymir: stille folk is a french band doing folklore from the pyrenees!

P.S: empyrium is great!

It s not Sille Folk, but Stille Volk and yeah it s a good folk/traditional band, they just record a new album this year, but i forgot the name , but check out the website of their label : Holy Records.
There are quite no electric -guitars in their music, but it sound good and pagan.

Another french band that u can check : Aes Dana, a Black/Pagan/celtic metal band that uses traditional instruments. We've got a little scene in france with this kind of bands : Belenos, BranBarr, etc...

If u want some celtic french artists, got see on side of Dan Ar Braz, Allan Stivel...
(absolutly not metal !)

More internationaly, u can check (absolutly not metal but very good too !) some old Dead Can Dance, Loreena Mc Kennit, or Lisa Gerrad (the femal vocalist of dead can dance).

If u like medial/Symphonic things, try Automn Tears...

Have a good search, maybe u wil find something interesting....

Stille Volk - Maudat. Also available from The End Records for those in north america. Well, those accross the oceans can also order, but shipping prices go much higher...

Primal Fear -- Nuclear Fire -- Bleed For Me

Ásmegen is also a good folk-metal band, tho they blend alot of black-metal in most of their songs, some of their songs are just beautiful! , sung in norweigan (as a swede..i must say i cant understand a word ). if your a fan of the first albums of Vintersorg, i think you will like Ásmegen.
