Fun Facts from the bands that didn't make it - Highlights
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
Estonian folk metal! Because I'm a big fan of some good flute playing in metal, and these guys are my go-to for that. Also, I've learned that there's at least three ways you could refer to wolves in estonian from them. They've been around for a while, and have a pretty solid discogrphy for all your vowel harmony lacking urallic language needs. Flutes!
