lyrics in native language damn its so hard to write, much esyer are do it in english

I agree with you, it's hard to write lyris for folk metal(or even metal in general) in your own language, without making it sound rediculous. Also, when you write in your own language, it's so damn hard to make the myths,folklore and/or attitude justice.

I agree i cant write nothing in latvainh thats why all my poetry are in english, but IMO in other langauges all sounds easyer, well like sad somebody :''In naibours yard grass are greener''

Though, when you finely get it right, it's worth it. One such band, IMO, is Vintersorg. Even if their english lyrics are wellwritten, they can't compete with their swedish onces.

Btw, do you know any latvian folk metal bands?

Well the folk that I'm familiar with, is Oriental\Arabic\Middle-Eastern, like Melechesh, Arkan, Myrath, Orphaned Land, and many others...

I also like some German Folk like Gevolt, Feuerschwanz, Falkenbach, In Extremo, Saltatio Mortis, Cumulo Nimbus, Schandmaul, Stille Volk, and some others... Any recommendations would be great.

Extreme Folk like Ensiferum
Viking/Black Folk like Windir and Borknagar.
Awesome stuff IMO, not sure you'll like it though.

It has some German bands in there, and the second page is pretty useful.

He is just getting into metal, so recommending big-name bands is all he can do until he really starts to dig into the underground like the rest of us.

I love Folk Metal too...! But nothing better than and ever will be....

YES, they are amazing. I've been listening to so much of their stuff lately, spirit is a great album.

I just got into Svartsot.
Damn they sound great, I find their music puts me in a great mood! They've been around for years and I've never heard them until now. wow.

I noticed that no one mentioned about Radogost, available here http://www.radogost.pl/discography/ Right now they are working on their first english album after 3 polish CD's. You can hear the first sample here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ejTP-awyvzg. In the very next year the whole new album appears, so please comment on the channel. SLAVA

Folk, Extreme Folk, and pagan metal are my top 3 genres. I've been writing lyrics for a folkish/pagan album and I'm from the United States. It has a little bit of Norse mythology in there mixed with some United states history. Sorry, I don't feel like having an Indian gimmick. Good music will be good music.

I've just discovered a french band called Boisson Divine (a reference to the beer), they do a nice folk metal and they have just released their first album :

Is there anything out there that is more like Eluveitie's Evocation 1?

sweet. Im def. gonna take some serious time looking into this.
Right now im checking out Kauan by a band called Tenhi...sounds very similar to Borknagars' Origin.
I also got an album by a group called Wardruna, album is called Yggdrasil. Sounded very neo folky to me, so I bought it blindly based off of a few previews. It was reccomended because I like Finntroll and Arkona (thanks Amazon)

Probably not everyone's cup of tea...but what is? Panopticon's last album Kentucky is the only example I've seen of an American folk (specifically bluegrass) metal band. I would love to hear some more bluegrass metal...Not holding my breath though.

I personally like japanese/chinese extreme folk metal the most.
Stuff like Tengger Cavalry, Quest for Blood, Shangren (although they are australian), even Ego Fall, or Whispered.
However I don't know many bands, if someone who knows more about the asian folk scene, I'd love to hear recommendations (:

Another folk that I like is south-american/ andean folk metal, like Chaska, Guahaihoque, Tenochtitlan,...

Ereb Altor - Fire Meets Ice - Don't miss this out, very epic, doomy, folky and very original.


Kernunna - The Seim Anew - Amazing usage of ethnic stringed instruments.
