@NicolasRMDQ I would say that Turisas and Menhir easily fall under Folk Metal. Moonsorrow fall under the broad genre of Viking... but if you are picky maybe not.
@NicolasRMDQ Hi, I agree with you, There are not that much bands like korpiklaani. Do you know any bands that sounds more like them and less like the other songs who are on this upload?
@Matthardy500 - battle metal is just what they call their own music, it's still in the genre of folk (or viking). It has nothing to do with power metal though.
NeverMind, Moonsorrow is not lol, Moonsorrow is the best band in the world, with deep and meaningful songs, majestic keyboads, and ripping guitar riffs, and its so epic. Moonsorrow is simply amazing, Tulimyrsky, the new EP is so awesome, I cant stop listening it.
The difference atleast with viking and folk is that in folk has more folkish instruments such as violin or accordion. While in viking metal there is more epic themes...
I don't care if Elvenking is not folk anymore, it is still their best album in my opinion. Also I think that Victory Songs a above average, not like their debut album "Ensiferum". That one blew me away!
Excuse me, this is stupid. On the first place, you have an album from a band who ARE.NOT.FOLK.ANYMORE. Elvenking sold out and became commercial and mainstream.
And excuse me again, where is Victory Songs by Ensiferum?! O_O
Dude, Taake is pure black metal:D Haha, okay he's using a jewish harp ONCE on Over Bjoergvin Graater Himmerik, but c'mon even Høst's other band Ragnarok is more viking than Taake:)
Except for Elvenking... once, they where a mighty folk/power metal band, but on their newest album, they turned their music into some EMOtional wrist-slitting thrashcore-shit!!! Their debut album "Heathenreel" is much better, believe me.
Elvenking isn,t folk at this album.
At this album is melodic death metal

ragw33d 3 years ago
Sure
Korpiklaani,Turisas,Elvenking and menhir
They are the best bands of folk metal
Turisas is battle metal but is similar so similar to Folk metal
I think is a remix of Power and Folk metal
Korpiklaani are my favorites
Also I like so much Ensiferum,Finntroll and Eluveitie
Folk never die!!!
