Blackguard, Alestorm, all that garbage....Only so much folky rhythms and "pagan" lyrics I can take. Fuckin trendy as fuckin fuck. Fuck. i was just going to bring up Blackguard and Alestorm and how they are cheap hacks. |
| _______________________________ [Sep 14,2009 10:34am - Yeti ""] and i'll further back the hate for Korpiklanni. |
| ________________________________ [Sep 14,2009 10:52am - slymo ""] anyone on here dig asmegin? (bob you're out of you mind) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lBJTAyvjSJw with out a doubt my favorite |
| ________________________________ [Sep 14,2009 10:55am - aril ""] Asmegin is good. Awesome triggered drums too. Haha |
| ________________________________________ [Sep 14,2009 10:55am - SteveSummoned ""] Finntroll only because every time I hear a band I don't know I say "what is this Finntroll?" |
| ____________________________________ [Sep 14,2009 10:58am - arktouros ""] gahhhhhhhhhhhhhh.... |

Old Ensiferum is still pretty awesome. And I'm assuming the premise of this thread is "best folk metal band after Bathory, obviously." |
| ____________________________________ [Sep 14,2009 11:11am - arktouros ""] moonsorrow has all their moments, and if we're counting primordial, then they win. you shut your welsh mouth. |

Cruachan is good too though. I agree with korpiklanni, i loved them when they had one album....now they all sound the same. and nothing beats visor om slutet by finntroll, their acoustic/noise album recorded out on the swamps of finland |

| ________________________________ [Sep 14,2009 11:29am - aril ""] Still no great bands mentioned. |
| ____________________________________ [Sep 14,2009 11:35am - arktouros ""] well for "folk" we could be talking about bouncy celtic jig bands, or bands like Agalloch and Primordial. I would call those bands great. Fucking great. |
| __________________________________________ [Sep 14,2009 11:43am - TheRidersofDoom ""] windir |
| ________________________________ [Sep 14,2009 12:02pm - aril ""] Yep. Those are great bands. There's a bunch more.. I'd have to post when I get hone because typing on a cell phone sucks. |

| _______________________________ [Sep 14,2009 2:41pm - aril ""] Was slightly being sarcastic |
| _______________________________ [Sep 14,2009 3:26pm - slymo ""] oh hahaha, lost in text translation... |
