Now THAT is a blast from the past. Running Wild and Rage used to get a lot of playtime with me once upon a time.



I reckon Flogging Molly could come in as folk rock/metal in places also.

I have to say I love Eluveitie and Cruachan, I must check out those other bands you mentioned.

You can't beat them, they're both great bands in fairness.

If you like Cruachan you should like Waylander. Once I heard their version of King Of The Fairies I was hooked.

Alot of good music recommended in this thread. For a less conventional genre folk metal remains extremely popular. Must recommend korplikanni only the Finns can write really heavy songs about going for a walk in the woods.

Glad to see Running Wild mentioned. The only decent Pirate metal band i've come across so far

Sometimes classified as folk metal, but more folk rock imo, a bit soso in the studio, but fantastic live see eg this esp. second half:
