Epic Listens: A Folk Metal List
Epic Listens: A Folk Metal List
Folk metal is becoming one of my favorite subgenres within metal. It can fit whether you are dancing around a fire with a fine alcoholic beverage or just cleaning up around your house. I am making this list to provide some of my current favorite pieces of hammer-wielding/booze-chugging/kilt-sporting anthems.
1.
Moonsorrow
- Voimasta Ja Kunniasta
In my opinion, this is the epitome of folk/viking expression. This is the theme of battle.

6.
Månegarm
- Vredens Tid
Epic atmosphere and haunting melodies make this album an irresistible folk offering.
|
7.
Equilibrium
- Sagas
A jovial and melodious album that is varied and sports some of the best riffs in the genre.

Nice stuff, though I'm not too keen on some folk stuff. Have you checked this band? This one-man band released a ton of stuff and so far everything I've heard (3 or 4 albums) is pretty great. I reckon you'd like it. And seeing as Windir is here, I'd recommend Dordeduh - Dar De Duh. Kauan - Lumikuuro might fit as well, but I'm not sure as it's less folky than most stuff on here. Furthermore, you could consider Ulver - Bergtatt - Et Eeventyr I 5 Capitler. The last few suggestions you probably won't add, since they're black or doom too. Of course Summoning and Caladan Brood could be taken into consideration too, but it's up to you whether those fit the list or not. I also just thought of Draugnim - Northwind's Ire. And any Drudkh album could fit as well.
