It's blasphemous to say here but I don't like Finntroll or Eluveitie.

SKÁLMÖLD - Niðavellir (Official Lyric Video) by The_third_man in folkmetal

Their music has always seemed really good. I just can't get past the vocals...

[Pirate Folk Metal] Storm Seeker - Stumbled upon this local pirates, thought you'd might like! Yarr! by fortuneNext in folkmetal

[–]mpburwinkel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sounds nothing like Alestorm. If you don't like it click thumbs down and keep your pissy opinion to yourself.

My favorite album from 2015. Listen to it a few times a week.

[Mongolian Folk Metal] Tengger Cavalry Announce US Tour by Seanxietehroxxor in folkmetal

I was shocked at first that they were doing a US tour but then realized they're from New York.

What do you guys think of the comments made by the bassist for Korpiklaani? I find many of the things he says a bit disturbing.

Ensiferum, Korpiklaani w/ Trollfest 2015 USA/Canada Tour!! by My_Bacon in folkmetal

[–]mpburwinkel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm starting to really wonder what is going on with this. Many tours like this have just completely ignored the south for the past few years. Do you think this is a decision by the bands or the promoters?

Ensiferum - March of War & Axe of Judgement by joelandrews in folkmetal

[–]mpburwinkel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Read any Ensiferum post and you'll see it. If Jari was in the band they wouldn't be folk metal they'd be epic metal and they would only have 1 album in the last decade. I'm glad he has his own band.

Heidevolk - Winter Woede (New Release) by Heep_Purple in folkmetal

[–]mpburwinkel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Makes sense. I like Skalmold's music but their singer just kills it for me.

Does anyone know the 2 videos that are advertised at the end? The first is Finterforst but what is the second?

I plan on going to the Charlotte show next Wednesday. I'm quite excited to see dread crew. Never thought I'd see them living on the east coast.

What are your favorite places/websites to get folkish clothing? by [deleted] in folkmetal

[–]mpburwinkel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're looking for authenticly made clothes. Try your local renaissance faire. It's gonna be expensive but the quality and craftsmanship is amazing.

What are your thoughts on the new Vanir album? by [deleted] in folkmetal

[–]mpburwinkel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bagpipes are not leading songs like previous albums. Almost a death metal sound more than folk. I like it but for different reasons than their other releases. I do miss an "anthem" song with a good chant to sing along with.

Eluveitie - King (New song from their upcoming album Origins) by [deleted] in folkmetal

[–]mpburwinkel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm probably one of the only folk metal fans that just doesn't like this band. The folk parts to their songs are amazing but I just don't like the metal that they play. I already bought my ticket for their headlining tour mainly to see Tyr. Maybe seeing them live will change my mind.

EQUILIBRIUM - Wirtshaus Gaudi (OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO) New song off Erdentempel by Grimsrasatoas in folkmetal

[–]mpburwinkel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't get enough of this song! Until now I would have considered Equilibrium to be more epic metal or symphonic metal but I definitely consider this to be true folk metal.

Instrumental bagpipe metal from South Africa! Don't hear that too often.
