By the way: I also miss Skyforger, which do quite special stuff, with all these ancient warchants and weird instruments.. well, ok, thats not so special in the folk-scene, but I just like them.

Concerning Windir: I admit that this is good music, but I really can't stand its synth-sound (+ drumcomputer? baaaad thing!). Or is that just the bad mp3-quality of the tracks of his homepage?!

Mmm don't know, every band here is great, but my vote is for Turisas, great music indeed, makes me feel epic jeje, but hey, where is Orphaned Land? that kind of folke deserves to be mentioned, also Týr, man, I always think that this guys are really underrated.

Just discover this style of music, and my favorites are Dalriada from Hungary and Equilibrium. Great stuff

Thanks, you're the man!
Do you think these two bands are similar? It just came to my mind some days ago though I know them for quite a long time..

Not really the same type of vocal between Dalriada and Equilibrium, but i feel the same epicness and the same folk melody in their music.

I must admit that I prefer the vocal of Dalriada (Prefer Clean voices) . But despite the vocal of Equilibrium, their music is so good that i can go over.

I listen also to Empyrium, Ensiferum, Moonsorrow and Turisas. Just discover Alestorm

I like very much Ensiferum, Eluveitie and Equilibrium as well, but my vote goes for Moonsorrow, since I considered that they make the perfect mixture between Folk and Metal. However, I prefer Skyclad most of all. My vote would go for them if they were here.

I only listen to Folk Metal once in a blue moon, but when I do, I usually listen to Finntroll, Alestorm, Elvenking, and StormWarrior. Pretty goods bands, if I must say so.

I voted for Korpiklaani, although I really like Agalloch, but for me they are not real folk metal (and they are spelled wrong )

I voted for agalloch and i have your feeling about Korpiklaani about Agalloch. for me folk metal defines as bands like ensiferum, eluveitie and this kind of bands. agalloch is avant garde.
