Limited PvP -> PvE Free Character Transfers
Mythic+ Dungeon Adjustments - 27 April
Is anyone successful on PVE moving strictly with click to move?
MMO-Champion
A coworker of mine just recently introduced me to Finntroll, and I've been quickly becoming a fan. I really want to find some more excellent bands like Finntroll, but I don't really know where to start. Is anyone here an avid folk metal listener that could suggest me some more bands? Moonsorrow is the only other one I've heard.

Well, if you want some with the same theme's as Finntroll, you could try SuidAkra, Varg, Svartsot; but if you want something more jolly, Korpiklaani is one of the better choices. I have to say i know more, but the names are escaping me atm, due to it being so early =.=
Ah, yes, here's two more names: Arkona. Fferyllt.
You could try out Fejd too, is more Folk'ish than Metal'ish tho.Last edited by mmocd0f4e92d3a; 2011-06-01 at 07:33 AM.

agalloch and primordial are the only "folk" metal bands i know of but both are amazing. check out marrow of the spirit or shadows against the grain by agalloch. and to the nameless dead, redemption at the puritans hand.

No seriously listen to Turisas' In the Court of Jarisleif and The Varangian Way album.

2011-06-01, 09:10 AM #7DeletedI'm sorry, but how is Amorphis folk? They don't use the lyrical themes, they don't use the 'odd' additional instruments, they don't run around in loincloths. Amorphis comes much closer to melodic death, maybe death/doom. Originally Posted by Rageissues

The newest Shining album also has some folk influences.
*Wintersun has some odd folk-ish tunes to it and is a great band in general, you could try them as well.

Try Skyclad, one of the originators of the genre.

I will say that Amorphis' newer stuff isn't as much folk as other artists, but early 90s Amorphis were quite large contributors to the genre... even though they don't run around in loin cloths.

Primordial are more black/folk.
On the theme of black/folk check out Isengard, Fenriz's folky side project from the 90's.
Storm is also worth a look, again, old school stuff from the early 90's. Some songs are quite black metally, some of them are very folky too!
Then there's the more modern/mainstream ones like Ensiferum, Eluveitie, Korpiklaani, Finntroll, Turisas.
Might be worth starting with the more mainstream bands like these, then once you've got an appreciation for it, go back and listen to some of the roots of it from the older bands mentioned above.

Korpiklaani - Vodka
I love this band and that song! Folk Metal is just great. Search for more Korpiklaani for pure awesomeness.

For pure, undisputable folk metal, try these:

I don't really listen to folk metal much anymore, neofolk and some folkish acoustic music is more my thing, but here's two songs from a band I like. Moonsorrow is the greatest one I have encountered so far.
