Default Folk Metal!

Someone on another forum found this band, and well...if you love metal, this is an awesome "twist" on it. Yes, I am posting a myspace link (/emo's self just to get it out of the way), but they have a few songs up to listen to.

http://www.myspace.com/korpiklaaniofficial

Especially listen to Beer Beer. It has a very catchy tune and lyrics are awesome to check out. Yeah, I'm plugging this band, but I love them already and don't know how I didn't find them before.

What's the other forum called?

I'm listening right now and would really like to read the other posters' opinions. Seeing as how this is good stuff.

FUCK YES!


Korpiklaani is fucking amazing. One of my favorite bands. Mind blowing. Check out the video for Wooden Pints. It is a laugh riot but the music is so bloody amazing as well.


Folk metal is probably my favorite genre of metal....though I do not listen to enough of it.


Check out another awesome folk metal band, Turisas. They do a bitchin' cover of Rasputin

Another great band in this genre is Eluvietie. http://www.myspace.com/eluveitie

I plan on getting some of their stuff soon. I've heard a bit about Korpiklaani and I must say that I am intrigued.

Another band I like is Holy Blood although they may be too intense for most people. Kinda folk tinged black metal. Free legal downloads at the link below.

Click music, then click audio.

I already knew them. I'm a bit into folk.

Check out some of Korpiklaani's early stuff, when they were known as Shaman.


They took a couple of there songs from those days and just put english lyrics, like Beer Beer

Wow, didn't realize you guys were into it also. Thanks for the links also since I've just now started realizing this awesome genre I have been dearly needing since some of the recent metal stuff is not so great.

Oh so true Jonny. So true.

Folk metal is such a change of pace from what you hear all the time now. Doesn't matter how angry the song is you can't help but feel happy when you hear a fiddle
