New wave of folk metal

[soundave]

Maybe because of the new Borknagar album? Is that folk metal or just "blackened acoustic"? Perhaps "Black Folk"?

New Borknagar is definitely not Folk metal, it has no metal elements in it.

Try Vintersorg's band WATERCLIME as well. has folk elements, but also mixes some industrial and jazz as well. its really neat stuff.
