I fully recorded a blend of Follow me up to carlow and musical priest as folk metal here is the video of me playing some of the instruments I recorded, sorry if the coordination of videos to song is not great but I am just starting to edit videos on my own.
Over the years I've somehow ended up with wind instruments from South America, Europe, China and India, some were gifts from friends, others I collected along the way.
In the basket are among others:
I thought it could be fun to introduce them one at a time.
I'll first record it completely on its own, so you can hear what the instrument actually sounds like.
Then I'll choose a traditional/folk melody that suits it and turn that melody into a folk-metal arrangement with guitars, bouzouki, bass, etc.
So, which one should go first?
Was a class show.
Hi everyone:
I guess not much is expected from writing this, but here it goes, in the last year and a half I have recorded mixed, and produced 20 original songs, 14 of them on spotify. I am not looking to be famous or anything, Mostly wanted to get all what has been going in my heart and head into the music I love so much, and share it with like-minded people. That said, it has been hard to do it from a bedroom studio, and it is been hard to find collaborators, even in an open minded (in my opinion) community such as is Folk metal. Just wanted to reach out to you guys, and hopefully talk to some of you.
Any Canadians here? We'd love to meet you this fall!
Last few months we worked LONG and HARD to release an album into the world. Our debut record Rise and Shine will be unleashed on the 19th of September. Today we released Blastafari, along with a cool hand drawn lyric video.
This song is about an epic party. It is a calm reggae song about three adventurers that are lost in the woods. With all hope of finding their way out gone, they come upon a large hut. To their surprise they find it is inhabited by an ancient troll who appears to be peaceful. He offers them shelter and takes them on a spiritual journey. These are their stories. *DUM DUM*
Needless to say the only form of AI that was used was Alcoholic Influence. Fuck AI. We're super excited to hear what you guys at r/folkmetal think. All feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Valhalore is one of the most underrated folk metal bands out there imo. The quality of music they are putting out is wildly disproportionate to how widely they seem to be known. Check out Beyond The Stars if you haven’t yet. Incredible album.
Bonsoir !
Je cherche un titre de Finntroll, 100% instrumental, calme ~
Je l'avais dans une playlist avec Försvinn Du Som Lyser, Svart Djup, Trollhammarem, Under Varje Rot Och Sten, Solsagan... Donc j'imagine que ça doit dater de la même période ! Mais impossible de remettre la main dessus et j'ai refait tous les titres de leur discographie : introuvable...
Si jamais ça vous parle, je prends !
Merci 🙏
This is a solo project, so it‘s all me in my own head. I would highly appreciate honest and constructive criticism from people that don‘t know me, who aren‘t invested in me as family, friends, etc.

Thanks so much to anyone who can make time 🤘
Now the formatting might be weird cause this is a 2 am rant post on my phone but,
I truly believe now that the members of the Turisas knew 2013 would be their last album
From For Your Own Good, to We Ride Together, they tell another story. Not of being part of the Varangian Guard (a little bit of that too) but rather of breaking down the walls for us to expand our horizons, to “when still had the flame, at the top of our game”. They knew they’d be moving on, but they part of them didn’t want to/wanted to go out still playing shows for their fans, opening them to new bands and groups.
While I’ll miss Turisas, as they’ve had one of the biggest impacts on my life; I’ll still be having fantasies about starting a cover band, and listening to them for the rest of my life, but, they’re not coming back. Accepting that is still hard for me but I’ll always remember to have one more.

Hi everyone,
I’m curating a Spotify playlist focused on dark ambient, ritual folk, neofolk, Nordic soundscapes and cinematic atmospheres.
It includes artists like Wardruna, Heilung, Myrkur, Kalandra, Eivør, Forndom and several smaller projects as well.
The idea is not to make a random “Viking music” playlist, but a slow, immersive listening path: music for stone, mist, ritual atmospheres, inner landscapes and darker folk textures.
I’d love to discover more obscure artists in this direction. Any recommendations?
Playlist here, if anyone wants to check the current direction:
