need more viking/folk

[audiophileguy]

I love ensiferum, tyr, and skyclad.
I prefer that style of viking/folk over the black metal styled bands(i.e. windir, i like it but not as much as those 3).
Could i get some similar bands to those three.

[metal_wrath]

Is this the thread of unpronounceable foreign band names.

 

[Mormagil]

would you like them if they threw in the words bestial or regurgitation

No, actually I dont listen to death/gore bands alot, so no, i was joking, get it

 

[eternityablaze]

I have two suggestions, saving the best for last:

1. Elvenking - The newest album, The Winter's Wake, is freaking awesome. Its lined with plenty of folkish sounds like an amazing lead violinist being chased by an all-powerful lead guitarist. Elvenking is a mix of power metal and viking/folk metal based upon their sound. I don't know if this is true, however, basing it upon their lyrics. I haven't read them yet


2. Tuatha de Danann - Quite possibly the best band I have found in years upon years. Their creativity soars to unbelievable heights and keeps you feeling "upright" the entire time you listen to them. Their music is very much "feel good" music. They have a mixture of all kinds of vocals including: Folkish male vocals, female vocals, choir vocals and even death/black metal vocals. Amazing stuff. Check them out!

Btw, isn't this just another recommendations thread? Beware.

 

[Thasis]

I like Ensiferum alot and I've been looking for more Folk Metal for some time. I'll check these bands out sometime.
