@MegaGod2 There's no such thing as "pirate metal", they just name themselves that to branch off from the rest but there's no such thing. Otherwise Slough Feg would be Tribal Metal or something like that.
@MrBane1973 Oh,man,you don't know what is folk power metal?It's power metal with some folk elements,like Elvenking,Spellblast,Alestorm etc.Sabaton is heavy power metal,it's different subgenre of power metal.
thank you sir for showing me the beauty that is Wuthering Heights, i'd never heard of them untill about half a year ago when I watched this video. I instantly fell in love with their unique music! far from the madding crowd & the shadow cabinet are pure masterpieces!
Great video, obviously you know a lot of good music and can tell the difference between genres. Just one little detail though... Alestorm is not Folk Power, I mean, they proudly say they are 'pirate metal' so yeah, just that. Thumbs up!
I like most of these bands. Hey, Slough Feg are more a traditional metal band than a power metal one, same thing for Airged L'amh . They are awesome bands, among my favourites, but I don't really think they should be in this compilation.
Great video! All these "you forgot finntroll/eluveitie/etc. (which aren't even POWER/folk metal)" comments are pretty annoying! Anyway, if you don't know them yet, check out: Lorien, Minotaurus, The Storyteller, Logar's Diary, Human Fortress (the album "Lord of Earth and Heaven's Heir), Celtic Legacy, Arryan Path and Nine Fears to complete probably a second part of this great series?
These are all very different from the normal elvenking... while i listened to all of them and then followed up on the bands i liked by searching for other songs, i can only add Leprechaun to my list... A Major thanks to you Folklover.
