But I'm also ardent that folk metal isn't a real genre but a convenient descriptor. I'd love to hear folk metal that isn't also power or black or whatever but I don't think it's out there.

People would probably say this is melo death with some power metal/symphonic metal elements. Stylistically, this kinda folk metal has a lot in common with gothenburg imo. Lot of similar riffage. I'd say it's barely in the power metal spectrum but yeah it has some keys and epic riffs

Yeah if that's the case I'd say more melodeath than anything but I get what you mean lol.

"I'd love to hear folk metal that isn't also power or black or whatever but I don't think it's out there."
Power/black-leaning folk metal are definitely the most common styles but not the only ones. Perhaps may I interest you in Skyclad? They're a more thrash metal-oriented band that also coincidentally made what is considered the first folk metal album.

Oh yeah there's a couple of folk metals that aren't power or black but the point I was trying to make in my rambling is folk metal tells you (almost) nothing about the music. It's slightly better than viking metal which means nothing, but a lot of folk metal bands use the traditional folk instruments, some don't use those and instead use traditional folk music melodies/scales/etc. Should probably check Skyclad though.
