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 know one necessarily asked and no one probably cares, but i wanted to list my favorite bands (not in order). Most are metal (folk metal/viking metal, most especially), but some are just general alternative rock, i guess.

Anyways, here they are:

Skáldmöld (iceland)

Fejd (sweden)

Månegarm (sweden)

Blind Guardian (germany)

9mm Parabellum Bullet (japan)

Merry (japan)

Honorable mentions: SuidAkrA (germany), Nightmare (japan), & Meijibray (japan). (i have only ever listened to exactly one song from each of them, but all three are very good songs)

Also. Another honorable mention is The Hu (mongolia). Not one of my favourites, but i think they are cool enough to mention.

When I don't listen to Metal/Alt Rock (since i am definitely not always in the mood), here are others i like:

Tchaikovsky (romantic/"classical")

Antonio Vivaldi (baroque/"classical")

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (classical/baroque/"classical")

Antonín Dvořák (romantic/"classical")

Joshua Messic (folk?/hammered dulcimer*)

Dancing Hammers (folk?/hammered dulcimer)

Victoria Van Arnam (folk?/hammered dulcimer)

*a hammered dulcimer is a string instrument sort of like a sideways harp or a guzheng, and is played by "hammering" it with little mallets.

**also. i cannot stand beethoven. i know he is popular but i can't stand it. there is a reason he was not on the list
