Wow, aren't you a lucky bastard.

Checked out in prep for Bloodstock:
Kreator - Pleasure to Kill
Kreator - Enemy of God
Equilibrium - Sagas

Pleasure to Kill was amazing.
Enemy of God was slightly less amazing, although the title track and Impossible Brutality are better than the songs on Pleasure to Kill (though that may be due to familiarty as they were the songs I enjoyed when I first gave Kreator a listen a few years ago).

Sagas is shit and Folk Metal has to stop.
It sounds like the soundtrack to gay Braveheart.

Thankfully its just finished and I can now purge the horror from my body with a bit of Ultravox.

Ultravox - Vienna (Vienna)
IT MEANS NOTHING TO MEEEEEEEEEE! OOOOOOHHH VIEEEENNNNAAAA!

... I will let Moonsorrow carry on, and Týr providing they forget everything after Ragnarok.
Skyforger, too I suppose. They're not great but at least they're actually a Folk band as opposed to rape by jigging of the genre.

Korpiklaani is folk metal, but it doesn't all sound like that.

I recently just got into Tyr. Im gonna get there newest album seeing that i always have raise the heathen hammer high in my head. Im fact Im gonna put that on my profile now.

Im so cool!!! :3

I just started listening to Vader, and I have to admit I'm very impressed. The cores are awesome and the vocals are sick too. Don't know how popular they are, but here's a link on one of my favorite songs by them.

Also listened to Dying Fetus yesterday and they were very good as well (the name is hilarious, fuck you).

Vader is one of those no holds barred bands that kick you in the shin and splooge in your eye as you lie squirming in the dirt.

Oh yeah, metal imagery.

Dying Fetus is also good, but can't touch Vader.

Be careful at the Slayer gig, Slayer fans are fucking crazy. I've heard about more than a few people being stabbed at Slayer shows.

I'll just stick to the Megadave crowd then, anybody who's wearing a Megadave shirt can be my new best friend aka shield.

What's up with all you guys hating on Folk Metal? Agalloch are fucking awesome.

I gave them a try ages ago but didn't particularly enjoy their stuff. I didn't find their music to be very interesting.

I have no idea but I still love certain bands from the genre regardless of what the others say about them.

I don't listen to them anymore either. The novelty eventually wore off but I still enjoyed Spirit of the Forest for what its worth. Not everything I listen to has to be tasteful for me to enjoy it.

It's not folk metal. I love folk metal. But I listened to one song by Korpiklaani and that's where I stopped. It's so over the top it's ridiculous.

I forgot to mention before, but despite liking Folk Metal, I'm not particularly fond of Korpiklaani either. I did give their music a listen to (although whether I was listening to the wrong ones or not, I don't know) and I didn't think it was that good. Another thing that bugs me about them is how they've released an album every year since 2005. It's a bit too much for when they formed 6 years ago.

I listened to 30 seconds of a Korpiklaani song and then I chopped off my ears and stabbed a screwdriver into my balls.

Actually that is just the sensation I felt before I decided to turn it off. And then it was like being in a lovely warm bath with Idio scrubbing my back... in a manly way of course.

And aye, I trust there is tr00 Folk Metal out there that doesn't sound like gay Scandinavian pixies jamming (WITH A VIOLIN!) but I've heard little over than the three bands I mentioned previously.

Lazarus Blackstar - Defaced Photo (Revelations)

They're not that bad. Just horrible.

I've never described any music as 'stupid' before, but Korpiklaani fit that bill pretty well.

Highland Glory - Spirit of Salvation

That's why I call them Ridiculous Metal...
Folk is not all about "Galloping on a black horse"

You are not folk just cause you use violins and accordions...
and their lyrical themes are just ridiculous...

They aren't folk metal, they just have some folk elements in their post-rock/black metal sound.

And yes, they are fucking awesome.

And yes, Shitholekhaki suck ass.
