Discuss how awesome they are. Hopefully seeing Korpiklaani, Tyr, and Swashbuckle on Wednesday

But I really want to see Amon Amarth and Alestorm (

) as well at some point!

I saw Alestorm and Tyr play together last year. Single greatest party I've been to. A room full of drunk pirates and vikings singing Wild Rover at the top of their voices is just plain awesome.

Alestorm:

Amon Amarth:

Eluveitie:

Alestorm is awesome. Ensiferum is awesome. Kivimetsan Druidi is awesome. Eluveitie is awesome.

I like folk metal.

Falconer!!! This band is awesome. Everyone should check out the self-titled for some great Folky/Medieval Metal.

He left for a bit, and they sucked. Musically not just vocally.

But now he is back, and they have returned to form.

I just went last night, My friend's band White Wizzard is opening! The show is fantastic, Swashbuckle fantastic! TYR was dissapointing and Korpriklani was great! White Wizzard is awesome make sure you get there early to see them!

Global Laziness · « **Reply #10 on:** January 12, 2010, 06:21:59 PM »

Are we allowed to talk about how awesome they aren't? Of the bands mentioned in this thread, I've only actually listened to Alestorm. While their music was pretty good a lot of the time, I ultimately found it too cheesy to stomach.

Amon Amarth is damn awesome.

RobD · « **Reply #12 on:** January 13, 2010, 09:19:28 AM »

Agreed on Amon Amarth. I saw them as well a few months ago and it was an absolutely storming show!

And on that note:

I'm a fan of Amon Amarth myself. Their new album is really good, but I think my favourite is Fate Of Norns due to the title track and the epic 'Pursuit of Vikings'.

New Amon Amarth song. Didn't realize they had a new album coming out, 2011 is seriously an awesome musical year.

If anyone in this thread has not listened to this band, do so now.

They are brilliant and extremely consistant.

Didn't think they were viking metal, however. More black metal/Norwegian nonsense.

SPNKr · « **Reply #22 on:** February 02, 2011, 08:53:01 PM »

I posted that here because this thread also is to do with Folk Metal. Just a lot of guys like the whole pirate and viking thing, which is cool, and it's maybe because they don't know any folk metal or just ignore it in this thread, or it's just not much of a focus here.
I have Kivenkantaja.

skydivingninja · « **Reply #25 on:** February 03, 2011, 10:52:18 AM »

This thread inspired me to rediscover Alestorm. Anyone else get a huge smile on their face when the Pirates of the Caribbean theme pops up in "No Quarter?"

They call their music "Epic Heathen Metal".

Korpiklaani's new album came out a few days ago! Ukon Wacka.

I haven't got a chance to listen to most of it, but I have heard Tequila:

Amon Amarth is good shit. I remember when I played "Pursuit of Vikings" at a Christmas show with the drummer of Icewind and the singer of Orgasma!

Doesn't come out till next week here, but thanks for the heads up. Let the awesome musical year of 2011 begin!

Scard · « **Reply #30 on:** February 09, 2011, 11:10:03 AM »

I jsut got really into the folk metal genre. I saw Eluveitie last weekend and they were AWESOME. Now I'm a big fan of Finntroll and Korpiklaani.

blackngold29 · « **Reply #31 on:** February 17, 2011, 03:47:53 PM »

Eluveitie is pretty cool, although their first two album covers are deceptively backwards.

Anyway, new track-by-track breakdown about the new Amon Amarth album: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=njmVqzfn95k

Bombardana · « **Reply #32 on:** March 22, 2011, 01:56:35 PM »

I love From Afar by Ensiferum and Wintersun by... uh I forget who did that album.

Any new releases by viking/pirate/folk bands to look out for in 2011?

RobD · « **Reply #33 on:** March 22, 2011, 02:18:32 PM »

Amon Amarth have one out in the next week or so

And the only other on top of my head right now is Alestorm the first week of June. Bonus track include a cover of Lazytown's You Are A Pirate. There's also a song about midgets and a track called "Death Throes of the Terrorsquid". Epic.

Iarwain · « **Reply #34 on:** March 22, 2011, 02:42:39 PM »

The new Moonsorrow album is very good. Anyone interested in the genre should check it out.
