SCREAM!: A Great Funeral For The Folkin' Metal Tournament

SCREAM! 09.14.15	Man now I remember why I never make long lists
Hawks 09.14.15	Hahahaha this is awesome.
SCREAM! 09.14.15	Thanks Hawks my m/an You'd probably dig most of these I would think
Hawks 09.14.15	Yeah bro I've heard a lot of these, I'll have to check the ones I haven't. m/
porcupinetheater 09.14.15	Will this get more comments than the actual round 7? Stay tuned...
hal1ax 09.14.15	awww poor folk tourney :[ and this list is so sweet
Valkyrion 09.14.15	some of these descriptions genuinely confuse me. like 37
porcupinetheater 09.14.15	Primordial > & more m/ than anybody
Friday13th 09.14.15	Way to end with dignity, SCREAM. Unfortunately, not all tourneys end this classy. Some tourney ghosts live on in the dark recesses of sputnik...waiting for someone to end the misery that no one signed up for.
ScuroFantasma 09.14.15	I don't think I could love this list any more if I tried. So many jams.
ScuroFantasma 09.14.15	You should jam Eluveitie and Tyr's newest albums, some of their best material respectively
SCREAM! 09.14.15	@Valk it refers to the first song on that album. The monstrous 14 minute classic @scuro was planning on getting around to Tyr eventually. I heard the singles for the new eluveitie and thought it was their weakest material yet so I was planning on skipping that one
Wolfhorde 09.14.15	"There was a time when Jaari had so many riffs it would take a great many albums to contain them. It was a time of wealth and legend that he often reminisces over whilst sitting in his crowd-funded sauna." He shoulda stayed with Ensiferum instead of going on his ego-trip. First Wintersun LP was good and shit but still.
SCREAM! 09.14.15	The first wintersun album is actually my favourite out of everything he's worked on. Time I can foad though. It's sad how the guy has turned into such a prima dona nowadays though and even sadder how so many people are just completely buying into it.
ScuroFantasma 09.14.15	@SCREAM I'd go as far as saying it's their strongest, maybe second. This has to be one of my favourite folk metal tracks https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=JYaQ4PZTN9c
trvvve 09.14.15	told ya folk metal is garbage
SCREAM! 09.14.15	@Scuro I'll def check it out when I get back from work. That's some pretty high praise! @trvvve you sure got me!
Gameofmetal 09.14.15	this is sad
ComeToDaddy 09.14.15	m/ way to go out man, it was fun while it lasted. Will check some of these when I have time
SCREAM! 09.14.15	@game I was pretty bummed at first since it started off really promising. But in the end I got to discover some really cool new albums, some of which I enjoyed enough to included here. So the whole thing wasn't a waste plus it gave me a reason to create what is probably sput's biggest folk m/ list
Gameofmetal 09.14.15	yea lotta cool albums
Wolfhorde 09.14.15	Gimme another few weeks and I'll do ya a 100 item pagan/folk shenanigans list. I do like Wintersun's first LP too - as I said - but I just think it would've overall been better for everyone involved if he'd have sticked with Ensiferum. Sometimes you just need someone to dropkick you off your high horse and maybe having some bandmates with sense could've achieved that.
Flugmorph 09.14.15	Stellar list bro. Gotta jam this hard. One Band that might be wrongfully absent is amorphis
SCREAM! 09.14.15	Hadn't even thought of them as folk metal but you might be right. As soon as I submitted I realised I forgot to include Borknagar and Belenos but I want the list to end with Ulver/BAthory so I haven't edited. Could have prob included another Equilibrium, Arkona and Falkenbach album but oh well, there's plenty here for this site that has shown little interest in the genre so far.
SCREAM! 09.14.15	Also it gets really hard to find new ways to say "this is a really cool folk bm album and you should listen to it"
Flugmorph 09.14.15	Haha i get you. I'm finding myself listening to more and more folk metal the last few months. Let this list be a guideline for me.
Valkyrion 09.14.15	amorphis certainly are more folk-y than some of the entries here, like 37 or 63, especially their 2nd album
SCREAM! 09.14.15	@flug if you want more specific recs just let me know! I could suggest places to start on here based on what you've been digging @valk that burzum album is mostly included for the 1st and last track tbh. As I was making the list I sort of realised how subjective the term can get. Folk gets thrown into so metal in so many ways especially when it comes to BM and prog. Almost included Opeth because some of their albums (especially Still Life) do include a lot of folk influence in them as well
Wolfhorde 09.14.15	I think I actually have a good list idea. I'm gonna do a folk/pagan list like this with food recommendations.
SCREAM! 09.14.15	I sense a lot of fancy cheeses will be present ;)
Wolfhorde 09.14.15	Probably, I do quite like cheese.
Flugmorph 09.14.15	i already heard and liked moonsorrow, orphaned land, drudkh, summoning, finntroll, solstafir, bathory, ecstatic fear (the doooom), burzum, saor, primoridal and eluveitie based on this list.
SCREAM! 09.14.15	Oh sweet, you've got stuff all over the spectrum so you'd probably enjoy just about anything on here. If I had to pick a few to start though maybe go with Equilibrium (straight up epic folk metal with slight bm elements), Kauan (doooooom), kroda (what drudkh is to fall, kroda is to winter), the night watch (jazzy/proggy/folky metal) and ifing (moonsorrow worship) Also I'm just gonna assume you forgot to include Agalloch in that list because Agalloch are about as essential as it gets
Flugmorph 09.14.15	i tried to get into agalloch many times but always failed miserably so far honestly. thats why i didnt included them hehehe what you think of Thyrfing?
SCREAM! 09.14.15	Haven't listened to them actually. They were on my list to check but then I stopped hearing about them and sort of forgot they existed. That's too bad. Agalloch is probably my personal favourite band on here
SCREAM! 09.14.15	One last bump on this thing m/
Hawks 09.14.15	Agalloch is one of the best bands ever agreed. Flug def jam Equilibrium hard especially Sagas.
SCREAM! 07.28.17	Friday is folk m/ day So it has been decreed, so it shall be
