TheSpirit

Menhir

North0House2
10.16.12 | It's kind of hard to find to be honest.
It's a little grittier, but Across Tundras has some sort of folky stuff in terms of metal. |
HitlerIsTheBest
10.16.12 | Ulver - Bergtatt
Empyrium - Songs of Moors and Misty Fields |
Atari
10.16.12 | Sweet1 I've heard Bergtatt good stuff but i'll check these others out |
EverythingEvil2113
10.16.12 | Moonsorrow would tide you over for a while. |
DarthMann

FictionalFlames
10.16.12 | Wintersun |
YUJOS
10.16.12 | You should definetely give a spin to Skyclad. |
truekebabpower
10.16.12 | TURISAS, not exactly folk but very very very awesome |
CaptainDooRight
10.16.12 | Estatic Fear - both albums
surprised no one rec'd these guys |
YankeeDudel
10.16.12 | They're not folk metal thats why silly |
CaptainDooRight
10.16.12 | ^umm u may wanna recheck what u just said, u seem pretty convinced, noctus will be pissed |
YankeeDudel
10.16.12 | I mean they have slight folk in them. But Id say theyre much more gothic/symphonic/doom or whatever than folk. But yea
listen to them anyway atari who cares. |
Atari
10.16.12 | well captain has good taste so I'll definitely check them out ;) |
ThunderNeutral21
10.16.12 | northlane- impulse |
Keyblade
10.16.12 | "They're not folk metal thats why silly"
they kinda are tho |
Atari
10.16.12 | started Estatic Fear and I don't see how they're not folk metal lol |
CaptainDooRight
10.16.12 | that's Yankee for ya |
YankeeDudel
10.16.12 | The only place Ive seen them listed as folk is here. On Last fm, Metal Archives, Metal Storm, RYM, and Wiki they're labeled
as Gothic, Symphonic, Doom. I mean shit like In Flames had a lot of folk elements too but they're not folk metal my
brudda. When you think of Folk Metal nobody is thinking of Estatic Fear. |
Atari
10.16.12 | If anything estatic fear is more folk than metal ;) |
CaptainDooRight
10.16.12 | My best advice Yankee bro would be to actually listen to the album. Both of them. |
menawati
10.16.12 | damn nice was gonna ask for folk metal recs myself, useful list |
Atari
10.16.12 | yeah I don't know about the first one but the new one is folky as shit. |
YankeeDudel
10.16.12 | I have Sombre Dance 4.5d big guy I know what they sound like. My point is folk metal is prob the 4th thing Id call them, but they're a diverse band like that which is why they're good. Genre arguments are fun tho. |
seedofnothing
10.16.12 | Estatic Fear are one of my favorite bands. Lol at the guy who say's they're not folk.
Listen to the album before before acting like you know something about it. |
Keyblade
10.16.12 | just because their lyrics arent about Vikings doesn't mean they're not folk.
lol @ comparing it to in flames. yea because in flames make extensive use of the lute for example in their supposed folksy parts. |
Atari
10.16.12 | @menawati, great minds think alike! have you heard agalloch? I know they're not straight up folk metal but the mantle is amazing. |
menawati
10.16.12 | ye ive heard them mate love it but there are lots i dont know on here |
DeafMetal
10.16.12 | check out folk metal |
Atari
