Folk metal has never been a strong contender for the position of the "most popular subgenre”, as the scene is overshadowed due to unoriginality, staleness, and perceptions of being silly or gimmicky. This trend has led to truly exceptional bands in the genre becoming marginalized, and the chief among them is Eluveitie – a Swiss folk metal band from Switzerland, a nonet equivalent to a folk metal Slipknot infused with traditional Gothenburg-styled melodic death metal.

This is the best stuff I've ever heard; the flutes, fiddles, guitars, screams. I love it.

Probably their best album, and ideally their first one, introducing their take on folk metal. The only other swiss band i listen to apart from celtic frost and triptykon.

Original but very repetitive. "The Dance OF Victory" is very solid and intense. I like that one a lot.
