| I know there were bands named above like Burzum & Enslaved, But can anybody really include the ikes of these bands in a Folk Metal thread ? I personally don't believe anyone could. Enslaved at best can be classified as part Viking Metal more so than Folk. Folk Metal Bands Cruchan (Ireland, Have released 4 highly rated CDs, Deal with Celtic Folklore) Skyclad (UK, Have released over 10CDs and have been Probably the Pioneers of Folk Metal, starting back in 1990) Korpikaani (Finland) Tuatha Na Danann Ensiferum (Finland) Viking Metal Bands Einherjer (Norway) Enslaved (Norway) Falkenbach (Germany) Finntroll (Finland) Moonsorrow (Finland) Thyrfing (Sweden)

I always thought of Moonsorrow more as Folk metal, but folk and viking are very similar. But if you want to talk about folk, don't forget Ulver and Amorphis. I think Burzum and Enslaved fall in both genres. But again, it's pretty much opinion on whether or not bands are folk and viking. But I think it's also some songs are more folk and some have a little more of a viking sound.

| So, I'm thinking that we should probably create a forum for this type of metal.. What do you guys think? How about something like "Folk / Viking Metal"? Opinions??

Would you consider Lord Wind folk metal? Some of the songs off of Heralds of Fight sound somewhat folk-ish.
