Falkenbach is one of my favorites
Finntroll also, their first album is amazing.
Mithotyn and Moonsorrow rule. Sorry for mentioning bands already said..
I like to go to metal-archives.com and just look through all the Folk and Viking Metal bands. You'll find a bunch of good ones.

Skyclad. One of my favorite bands of all time. I'm not really into the black/folk thing, but Skyclad man. Skyclad.
Skyclad. So hot right now. Skyclad.

Ancient Rites, viking/folk.
Pagan Reign, melodic folk
Amorphis, listen to Tales from the Thousand Lakes.
Nomans land, viking/folk.
Suidakra, melodic death/folk
Temnozor, pagan black/folk
Summoning, symphonic folk/black
Mirrorthrone, symphonic black with folk
Nightshade, melodic death/folk
Einherjer, viking/folk
Falchion, melodic death folk. sounds viking.
Aisling, black/folk
The Elysian Fields, symphonic black/folk
Blind Guardian, folk power metal
Nightwish, folk powerish symphonic metal.
it shouldnt be hard to find official band pages with samples, or myspace pages.

ohh, viking metal....
my favourites are equilibrium, eluveitie, finntroll, blind guardian and nightwish, if they count {which, according to renowned viking metal connoisseur timedragon, they do}, recently heol telwen, and a few others that i can't quite remember how to spell at the moment. they may have been listed in here earlier, but i'll have to check back later 'cause it's 0518 and i should go to bed. <.<;;

ah, but dont get me wrong, i didnt say Nightwish was "viking". there is a fine line to be drawn when a band has folk, but nothing concerning vikings. Seeing as how Nightwish has lots of folk, and this thread topic didnt mention "viking", sure they can be included.
thats the way i do it, if they dont mention vikings but have folk... simply folk metal. so often it is put viking/folk, for many bands, but of coarse this doesnt work for, say, Amon Amarth, which has no folk at all.

thats the way i do it, if they dont mention vikings but have folk... simply folk metal. so often it is put viking/folk, for many bands, but of coarse this doesnt work for, say, Amon Amarth, which has no folk at all.

well, this is the official folk metal thread, so i was including some of both....even though i didn't recognize blind guardian as either viking or folk, so i can't argue with ten ton alien's post to reprimand me. >.>
i think i want to add this glittertind, too....so far, so good. even though that's rather a faerie of a name, there.

...dude, do you even know whats going on. you just accused me of saying that Blind Guardian is viking metal because of a mistake Mrs. M made in misunderstanding why i posted Blind Guardian and Nightwish. And i already explained, in this thread, that i listed them because they have FOLK, and then i said "because this is a FOLK thread". go get fucked.

i don't know what "shooting blanks" is, but i'll have two of them, please.
and lol at your attempt of making me find your house. hobos don't have a home, silly rabbit.
and Blind Guardian has virtually no folk nor viking influences (to stay on topic, you know).

i never mentioned the word "shooting". anyway, now youre just being stubborn, i dont know what youve heard from Blind Guardian, but maybe you should listen a little closer to... oh i dont know... NIGHTFALL IN MIDDLE-EARTH.

shooting blanks means your sperm is weak and ineffective. I.E. ejaculating inside a female would have no long term effect in the form of a child.

LOL.
No, I don't like Nightwish because it's too over the top for me.

huh! but the one you just showed us sounds a lot like them, i dont think one is more over the top than the other.
@Requiem: maybe you should go listen to the song Moondance, then tell me it doesnt sound folk. even though thats an instrumental, there are TONS of folk parts throughout Oceanborn. and i still dont know what you heard, two months ago.

I just mean there is so much operatic vocals in Nightwish that kinda turn me off.

early Nightwish was cool, just straight euro-power metal with a chick. then it became this fagoth bullshit bonanza with a chick.
kinda sad, they had potencial.

ah, i understand then. but it still seems strange that you like that Forgotten Tales, and not Nightwish.

i heard a little of new stuff, i didnt like it. I talked to a girl today about them, and she said Wishmaster is good like Oceanborn, and from the same time period. so i'll probably get that next, and end it with that. unless they find a new singer and make a GOOD album in the future.

well that sucks!
yeah, Cadacross are great, but i heard they split, could be false. there are probably a number we havnt mentioned, one reason being, i didnt use my collection last time i posted, so those were off the top of my head. I hated leaving the ones out that were already posted here, simply because i care about it a lot. HAH!
Mithotyn are still my favorite viking/folk band, but having dvds, and albums to look forward to from Ancient Rites and Ensiferum, tests that favoritism.
I know Wintersun was mentioned here, but to be honest, i dont hear a folk approach in there much at all. there are parts that are, arguably, folk. but im not sure id call it folk. sounds more like an extreme power metal act to me. and im pretty sure he wasnt going for a folk sound, after reading the interviews ive read. what do you guys say about that?

I think they are definitely more of a Melodic Death/Folk Metal band more than anything else. Having just listened to them I can definitely pick out some folk elements(well, more faster ensiferum sounding)..but not much.
Ensiferum are kick ass. Thanks Trey for getting me into them.
I've been looking up mainly folk metal for over an hour and I've realized I want at least $500 to spend on albums/shirts.
Edit - Cadacross are still making their new site...where did you hear of a supposed break up?

Yea, Cadacross is fucking amazing. They haven't done anything for few years, but I don't think they've quit. But it's possible since Georg Laakso was in that accident and he is playing guitar in Cadacross.
