i know you guys arent ones for metal but...

[Jake]

would just like to throw one of my favorite bands out there for you guys to check out.

eluveitie

they are pagan-celtic-folk-melodic death metal

awesome erray of instruments in this band,everything from bag pipes,violins,flutes,hurdy gurdys...real crazy mix of shit.

dont real have much material to offer,most of what i have of theirs is on albums.

i guess this can give you a taste though

 

[B-Buzz]

the celtic stuff makes it pretty cool, otherwise it's nothing I haven't heard before. Too lazy to rip and up?

 

[Jake]

Too lazy to rip and up?

yep...

that and i hate white people

 

[Jake]

i'll rip it one of these nights

You might like Korpiklaani if you like Eluveite. They've got accordions, flutes, fiddles, whistles, and all that good stuff. It's more fun, "let's get drunk" music than Eluveite though.

And if you want something kind of folky but very metal, check out "Verisakeet" by Moonsorrow.

already a fan,not many finnish bands i dont listen to or at least know of

"beer metal" at its finest,haha

i see your korpiklaani and raise you a finntroll.

ever heard of them? they are along the same lines. folk/death

 

[Jake]

new album drops next week muthafuckaaaaasss

i know this is going to sound weird coming from me,but i hope there are more female lead vocals this time. the couple songs she lead on last album were sick,even more evil sounding than screaming. her singing in her native language over some crazy ass acoustic shit was dope as fuck. would like to hear more of that.



one more thing i have realized more and more...violins are the shit. no matter the genre,rock,metal,rap,r&b,whatever. violin makes it happen

haha Finntroll rules. They're actually the band that got me into folk/viking metal. Their keyboardist is founder/guitarist/keyboardist/accordion/flute/whistle/harmonium/other weird instrument player of Moonsorrow.

I really like Finntroll's last album, but I think Nattfod is my favorite.

Do you like Thyrfing?

p.s. about 'beer metal' ...Korpiklaani is the only band that's encouraged me to start drinking beer at 8 in the morning.

Whatchu mean we arent ones for metal!? I see lots of metal goin on (nah but i know what you mean, like real hard metal-metal.)

I like this song here, if you posted an album id check it out instantly

 

[Nuttkase]

New Agalloch EP "The White" dropping on Feb 29th limited to 2000 copies. Stoked to hear it, Agalloch rules.

 

[RedStorm]

Eluveitie is streaming their entire new album on myspace for the next week or so. In case anyone wants to hear them.

 

[Jake]

i'm rippin their album right now,should have it up tonight

im glad you brought them up,been meaning to get more albums from them. got urkraft a long ass time ago. really liked it but never really followed much on the band. was hesitant to pick up newer material cause i heard their lead vocal guy left and they replaced him with a guy who has clean vocals. cant imagine clean vocals over black metal.

have any suggestions on what else to check out?

think i am going to have a weekly metal thread from now on. show off random bands i like

I'd recommend their last two albums, especially Farsotstider, which is WAY darker than anything they've ever released and Thomas' vocals are meaner and more aggressive than ever. Everything is just ridiculously heavy and it kicks ass from front to back.

I don't know about the whole clean vocals thing though..Vansinnesvisor has parts of one or two songs with clean vocals, but it's more like how early Anorexia Nervosa clean vocals are (tormented, basically). The music sounds more similar to Urkraft than Farsotstider in that it's got more "viking" parts. I got Urkraft first also, but I like these other two albums much better.

They haven't released an album with their new vocalist yet, but you can hear him if you listen to early Naglfar (which I highly recommend). He's got great harsh vocals, but I've never heard any clean vocals from him.

And please do make a metal thread, it's good for the heart.
