There are lots of great Folk Metal bands in Finland, be it Extreme, Viking, Battle, Symphonic or, well, plain.
This tour through Europe made me realise how little did I knew about some Metal genres, even one of my favourites, Folk Metal. For instance, I had never listened to the most popular Finnish Extreme Folk Metal band, Ensiferum. That can be considered a musical felony.
Finntroll is another Extreme Folk Metal band from Finland. The band has seven elements, with two guitar players, a keyboardist and another element that plays both guitar and keyboards, besides the usual vocalist, bassist and drummer, of course.
The Viking Folk band, Moonsorrow, have released 5 albums in their 15 years of career.
Kivimetsän Druidi is a Symphonic Folk Metal band that alternate their songs lyrics between English and Suomi. They were formed in 2002 and have just released their second full length.
Another great Folk Metal bands from Finland: Korpiklaani, Turisas and Battlelore.
