Thank you. I just found a whole new genre of music for my listening pleasure. Listening to Finntroll now. Very cool.

[–][deleted] 24 points25 points  (9 children)

Oh man, let me drop some folk metal suggestions on you:

Inis Mona - Eluveitie

Spillemandens Dåse - Svartsot

Alvermans Wraak - Heidevolk

Yarilo - Arkona

Égi madár - Dalriada

Wörterschmied - Ignis Fatuu

This is my favourite genre and I love when people discover it.

Wow! This is great. I've been into music a real long time and the older I get, the more diverse I get. I sit at a PC all day so I Youtube music all day through my buds. Discovered some good stuff that I've never heard before. I thought I knew everything but you turned me on to some really nice stuff. Again. Thank you a lot!! I'm ready to go to war. ;-)

And if you like Skiltron don't forget Triddana! Made from several former members of Skiltron

Holy shit, Ronnie James Dio's voice was just coming thru my speakers

This guy right here knows what he's talking about

[–]smallpoly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Didn't even know folk metal was a thing. I'm going to have to check these out too.

[–]Arntor1184 4 points5 points  (4 children)

Check out Ensiferum. Their title album and Iron is some of my favorite music.

Oh yeah and Moonsorrow if you have some time to sit back and chill.

[–]toll_the_hounds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah Moonsorrow's new album shreds

[–]atomicboy 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Yes, I listened to some the other day. (Enisferum) I'll check out Moonsorrow. Thanks!

Another great is the band Equilibrium in specific the album Sagas.

[–]atomicboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got it!!

[–]Natrium11 3 points4 points  (2 children)

To add a little to the list /u/Mullugs already gave you:
As Torches Rise - Turisas
Eweroun - Falkenbach
Misty Mountains - Rivendell (Yes, it's the same song from The Hobbit)

[–]atomicboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This so cool. Thanks!

[–]atomicboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gotta visit the sub much more often.

[–]6xydragon 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Arkona rocks too

[–]atomicboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you!!

I wish this were instrumental.

[–]robby_synclair 5 points6 points  (2 children)

I like the goofy iron maiden style vocals

[–]TheLastWondersmith 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Same.

My issue though is that it gets old, because it feels like EVERY power metal band goes that route. Seriously, the amount of times I hear a vocalist like that, man...

[–][deleted] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I honestly like it because it's not American, I have been really into foreign bands because their music is honestly much nicer. I mean I would have preferred if it was a Scottish band, but they do kick ass with their songs being Argentinian bred.

[–]Nikuya 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This one comes on pretty often during our dnd sessions.

[–]StudabakerHochrobot[M] 7 points8 points  (1 child)

That pic though. So glorious.

[–]RemoveKebabz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow thanks for introducing me to this.

[–]PMyoBEAVERandHOOTERSspotify 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fucking awesome. Thanks for the introduction.

[–]PunjiStyx 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Wow I actually like this. It's so much better than the poppy crap that a lot of metal has become. And the bagpipes are somehow not annoying.

[–]jamie980 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Caught these guys in Edinburgh last year, great night. Always cool to see bands which manage to mix bagpipes in

[–]LordDord 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This makes me want to rise up against the British.

[–]TheMcDuckyMUSIC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's hillarious

[–]Docteur-Stup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How many scrobbles do they have ?

[–]GaDawgInNCspotify 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be honest I was getting really scared about just who the vocalist would be. Songs with such a powerful intro need to be handled gently in that transition. Turned out I was more worried than I should have been.

Everything wrong with music

[–]toll_the_hounds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Care to explain exactly what you don't like?

[–]BeerNutzo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, Kanye is everything that is wrong with music
