Definately becoming a tradition.

I - E-An-Na

ROMANIAN FOLK METAL PLEASE I NEED TO SEE AT LEAST ONE ROMANIAN BAND HERE

Saw an enthusiastic submission for a band from a country that I've never heard music from and decided to check it out. Very much worth my time holy amazing combanations of instruments. Flute, bagpikes & accordion? All things I love to see would reccomend. My words aren't doing them justice.

II - Alien Weaponry

They had their first album at 16/17 years old. They are native to New Zealand or have native family (most of which are in the video). Very anti imperialism, uses haka's with metal music, it works great.

Saw this and was curious. Listened and enjoyed. Worth checking out. For those curious, the other band I was refencing in the "if i had a euro for every..." post was Shepherds Reign, a Samoan singing Polynesian group based out of New Zealand. Equally awesome.

III - Fejd

Nearly acoustic band that still played Wacken twice and released 3 albums via Napalm. Honorary metal band, basically. Fourth album is also strictly speaking metal though.

Honestly I'm just a sucker for this kind of thing. I don't know exactly what to say here otyher than great music , but don't take my lack of words for them being any less worth a listen.

Bonus: From Myself - Metsatöll

I'm not a huge fan of Astartes, but I'm certainly at least a medium-sized fan. I've always imagined Space Marines as having more of a headlong, superlative nature, rather than the by-the-numbers look the Retributors get. But you can't say it's not imaginative and beautifully animated, and near perfect as a short film of its own.
