This bullshit is what is going to destroy the folk metal scene. Not that I personally care as it isn't my genre of choice. 100% gimmicky crap.
Agreed. I suspect it seems weird to suggest that there are bands who are jumping on this bandwagon... but it's true.I won't hold back at all.
I just find it funny how folk / pagan has been around for years, but now all of a sudden it is "acceptable" to like it, with the rise in popularity of Amon Amarth and now Pagan Fest.
Where was all the love just 2 years ago when this genre was only supported in the States by the Heathen Crusade.
Sorry, I know I can be extremely bold on things.
It's just sometimes hard to sit back and watch how genres that were completely dismissed previously, are now socially acceptable, because there are more "friendly" versions of it out there (IE - the NWOJFM, New Wave Of Jolly Folk Metal).

There are bands who have been doing this for years. And now... along comes all these new Pagan/Folk bands, doing a watered down version and selling CDs. Odd.

Honestly, I haven't heard any "Pirate Metal". Possibly because I can't even write "Pirate Metal" without laughing a bit. However, I'm guessing it's musically similar, with pirates instead of vikings? And I think we'd all agree...I admit to not noticing this genre until I began exploring bands such as Moonsorrow and Korpiklanni. With that said, I believe the pagan stuff (which is what the both of you are referring to) is different than the "pirate" themed music, such as Alestorm and Swashbuckle.
DragonForce's 15 minutes are long up. Not dissing on DF or anything, but that's the closest thing that comes to mind of a similar situation I suppose.

Vikings >>> Pirates

I need to jump on this trend and get my Zombie Metal band started in time for the genre to blow up huge!
Zombies >>> Vikings >>> Pirates >>> Ninjas >>> Vampires
Zombie metal?????????????
Take it you are unfamiliar with MORTICIAN then...
DF at least didn't start playing the way they did because it was trendy. Guitar Hero just helped it to catch on with younger audiences.
Cool!!! Go for it!!!!
Every other Tom, Dick, and Harry are doing it.
I am sure some corporate sponsored tour will pick you up!
Maybe call yerselves the BLOODY FLESH MUNCHERS!
