I'm looking for some more folk metal (or metal that is similar) bands! Here's a list of the ones I like already, but if you know any others please feel free to share a link or two of their music. It's becoming my favorite genre, especially Scandinavian metal.



Sonata Arctica


Korpiklaani


Amorphis


Sirenia


Nightwish


Within Temptation


Dragonforce

thre examples of them:

Horizont (one of my favourites)
Vollmond

I'm actually very familiar with them, although I don't have any of their albums yet. I need to order a few of them.

It was funny, I stumbled upon them by accident when looking for classical/orchestra music back in high school. Can't remember which song it was I found but I fell in love with their music! Thank you for reminding me about them, I really do want to pick up a few of their albums.

Awesome, thank you! I

Awesome, thank you! I haven't gotten to listen to a whole lot of German metal but what I've heard has been pretty outstanding. And I'll take a look into Blind Guardian, I've heard of them before but haven't gotten to listen to their music. I'm familiar with Hammerfall, but the same deal where I haven't listened to much yet.

Thanks for all the suggestions, you rock! XD

Try Apocalyptica .
They play metal with contrabass and violins !
I like Evanescence a lot but it has been a long time since her last album . Amy Lee is the lead singer and her voice is amazing !
Paradise Lost , also very heavy !
Aperfectcircle is a band from the leadsinger of Tool ; These two are absolutely awesome !!
I always say that Tool are the pink floyd of metal ! Just my opinion Smiling

Dampir - I've got a few of

Dampir - I've got a few of Lacuna Coil's albums, and they're not too bad but not quite the style I'm looking for. Thanks for the comment, glad to find someone else who likes Sirenia!

Flyleaf - I listened to Apocalyptica and they were okay but not the style I really was looking for. My brother is a huge Evanescence fan so I may see about listening to some of their stuff (we tend to let each other have 'our own bands', it's kind of a brother thing). I'll have to check out the other two you mentioned, thanks for the suggestions.
