Recommend some good bands that don't sing in english.

[Reign in Acai]

Anybody know of any good bands that sing in their native tongue as opposed to english?!?! All recommendations are highly appreciated and I thank you all in advance!

 

[genocide roach]

in extremo (germany)
thyrfing (sweden)
einherjer (norway or sweden. i cant remember)
eradykate (french. some songs)

thats all i can think of at the moment. im certain there are more bands that do it. mostly from scandinavia from what i remember

I'll let this one stand seeing as I only posted the rules thing about half an hour ago and I'm tired, but ask for these things in the "Thread Where You Talk About Music You Like" thread PLEEEASE. Recommendation threads are EVERYWHERE at the moment. At least this one's slightly unusual...

 

[Hatebreed]

Mokoma is some great Finnish thrash sung in Finnish.

i think the topic at hand is the language thing, not the reccomendation part

Prime recommendation is Negurã Bunget from Romania, then Arckanum from Sweden who have lyrics in old (About 13th century I think) Swedish, Horna or Azaghal for Finnish, Taagefolket, Angantyr or Holmgang for Danish, Taake for Norwegian... Well, that's all for now. Lots of (Primarily black metal or related) bands from Scandinavia use their native language.

It's still a 'list bands that fall into this specification' thread, though.

 

[Cythraul]

Ulver- "Bergtatt", "Kveldssanger", and "Nattens Madrigal"(actually I think those albums are in archaic Danish or something)
Borknagar- self-titled
Nargaroth-"Rasluka Part II"
I think Enslaved sings in their native tongue sometimes and Burzum too.

finntroll awseome finnish

 

[byrne]

Children of Bodom's lyrics seem to be written in gibberish. Does that count?

- Vintersorg are pretty talented, but they aren't really my scene.
- I second Finntroll
- Also Borknagar self titled is a good recommendation
- Maybe even Brujeria the mad mexicans.
- Then I suppose you look towards bands like Burzum if you are looking for ambient black metal. I'd suggest 'Det Som Engang Var' which is the only song by them I really enjoy.

 

[suela]

Moonsorrow [finnish]

 

[Ben_t]

Nagelfar

 

[Demilich]

Windir (Norwegian? -- sometimes) - folk/viking/black metal
Ajattara (Some archaic dialect of Finnish, I think) - dark metal
Angantyr (Danish?) - ambient / black metal
Månegarm (Swedish?) - folk/viking/black metal
Wojnar (Polish) - folkish-ambient

Does Pan-Thy-Monium count?

 

[Cythraul]

Windir is a very good choice.

 

[Episteme]

What about...Asmegin? Orphaned Land sings in English along with other languages.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Mägo de Oz

 

[Ivan the terrible]

Early FLEURETY

 

[SlaughterofSoul]

Countess - Heilig Vuur is entirely in Dutch. The rest of their/his albums aren't so.

 

[Cythraul]

Bethlehem- "S.U.I.Z.I.D." (German) or give any of their other early works a spin. Their albums have a kind of weird, creepy, suicidal vibe to them, often classified as "dark metal."

 

[St^Anger]

i like artrosis very much
haven't heard much of 'em
their stuff is pretty hard to get


ah, they're from poland..
