This is probably the best example of celtic metal I could name...

Would be better if the lyrics were more celtic based themselves, but check the violins n shit, the main riff is orgasmic.

By the way the video is shit, but the song rocks.

That song was on my friend's myspace page.

Spoken intro: me lad, come here so I can tell ya a story, about Ye olde Celts, and how It was for yer Ol' Uncle, Kevin O'dooley

*Slow melodic start, played on classical guitar*

We worshiped the sun, in weird stone circles!

Pretty damn sure that was a Stone Age practice as well.

We were used as slaves for the Norse!

We also beat their brains out on more than one occasion.

We Neither had ale, NOR WHORES!

...We had both.

But we still rock out, on the Celtic shores!

Truely

*here it gets heavy*

Tap-dancing 'till nightfall...

Not if you're masculine in any way

Then go eat potatoes!

Potatoes originated in South freaking America!

I believe....
There is a pot of gold..
At the end of the rainbooooooooooow!!!!

...Nope

*Guitar solo*
*Flute solo*

Mine name has Mc or O' in the beginning!
For no apparent reason!

Ryan Mark DEMPSEY does that have a O or Mc at the beginning? I think not. (Though originally it was O'Dempsey)

'cause i'm celtic!
Celtic!
celtic!
Celtic!

CELTIC 'TILL THE END!!
NEVER SHALL WE BEND!!
'cause our race is SO GRAND!!

Truely, yet again.

</Uncalled for racism>

Should've made that notice bigger

Good sir, you have eliminated the need for me to own you, for you have owned yourself.

How would you feel if I wrote a song about Icelandic peoples?

Ayreon are a million miles away from celtic, that album is about a man having a car accident falling into a coma and reliving moments of his life that song being about when his dead beat father comes to visit him. they have another album which is about a man on mars who's colony has died out and he gets into a simulator thing which takes him on a journey through time and space :P they FUCKING RULE!!

Yeah, I did it on purpose, my friend, It's called a sacrifice of reputation aimed towards the well-doing of others.

There's pretty much nothing bad to say about us, because what you see as bad or evil , we see as good, like the following:

Whaling (Killing and eating whales) "Tradition"

No fireworks law. (anyone can use any fireworks anywhere anytime, only country in the world that doesn't have one) "Fun for me, boring for you"

Too conservative about our language ( We actually have a government firm in charge of making new words from Icelandic for new stuff that is invented.) " That way, we don't have to use awkward borrowed neologisms"

Your country has no army "We don't need one, because we aren't hated enough to be attacked by anyone"

It's fucking cold up there, While it's warm here! "Only the strong can live in the Norse colds"

You have too many volcanoes and glaciers! " you have too few volcanoes and glaciers , they are metal as fuck , and therefore I am more metal than you.

....So basically, as long as I remain a narrowminded bastard, too stubborn to listen to your opinion, I'll do just fine.

Ah fuck, I wish I could go to Iceland for once. The country seems really interesting to me for some reason. Has been for a while

Aye I know they're not celtic, but I was just referring to that song.
I love Universal Migrator, probably my favourite album of Ayreon.
Human Equation is pretty hot with LaBrie and Akerfeldt as guest vocalists.

You should repeat that, except you should actually say it directly to James LaBrie and Mikhael Akerfeldt, being guest vocalists and all.

My girlfriend really wants to go... she's a geography geek and loves glaciers and such.
So we're going there to be geeky and stuff around glaciers and volcanos :D.
Not for a few years though :(.

I never said LaBrie and Akerfeldt were crap.... I said the main singer guy was.

Well, that sounds very fun... :S

If you do come here, make sure to go to the eastern Fjörðs , not to brag, but we have the most beautiful nature, Everyone just goes to Reykjavík and is in some cases disappointed..

because whenever you see in ads or something, like a montage of Beautiful Icelandic nature, It's always from the east, but everyone thinks it's from Reykjavík...
Satan, I hate that place.

P.s. Stupid firefox tries to correct the í in Reykjavík to an I, like they know better.
Fools.

If I ever go there you can bet that I'll show up to kick your ass :P

I have been trying to go for some time now myself.

I have never even left the U.S.

Is it just me, or is black metal the most boring of all metal genres? Sure, there are some really boring DM bands that sound generic as fuck. But BM just takes the cake if you ask me. Almost no bands really have any interesting qualities. Mayhem had some cool stuff, but it got old.

I dig stuff like Dawn, Kataxu, Drudkh, Dissection, Gorgoroth, Rotting Christ, Volkolak, and a few others.

DM takes the cake for unoriginality for me. With a few exceptions, I can make the same claims about DM as you have about BM. For me, it's all chugga chugga grunt grunt bang bang.

HEAVINESS DOES NOT EQUAL GOOD NEITHER DOES BLASTBEATS OR GRUNTED VOCALS FGSFDS

For the record, I'm a power metal fan, not a black metal fan.

back from a battle of the bands, it was an awesome show with 2 metal bands, a groove metal band, and a Black Label Society style band, but a rap group won. it was very close between the two metal bands and the rap group though

Well, I haven't been too far away from my country either, only the neighbor countries (Germany, Italy, Slovenia, Switzerland, etc.) - but I got a date set for a job interview in a few days (school's almost over, been trying to find a job for a while) and if all goes well, I'm gonna earn good money and I'll visit more parts of the world in my free days :)

The bands that go for the 'trve atomsphereic(sp?)' are a bit like that, though not all.
Like GC said Rotting Christ have some really neat stuff. One of my favourite BM bands at the moment is probably 1349. They have some pretty good stuff too.

The Lead singer in Ayreon is like some kind of ungodly crossbreed between the WWE's Undertaker and Bill Bailey...

Thank god for that. He couldn't sing for shit.

I think I'll have to check them out. They have quite an impressive line up for the guest singers.

And wtf? I put on a Turisas station on Pandora and I get Hoobastank as being a music match? There's something wrong there...

I put in "Dio" once and what I got was My Chemical Romance. Doubt that is any better :P

I'm seriously starting to doubt Pandoras music selection abilities. I just got 2 hard rock songs and some strange combination of Doom and power metal bands, and now Opeth. I like Opeth, they're a great band, but they sound nothing like Turisas = S

My bro's computer just got a virus, fucked up his PC, it might have just burnt out. But he got it half way through downloading a megadeth album on metalmusicforever....Is it a coincidence?

I think that site is safe,or else Batman wouldn't have lead you to it.
It's got to be from something else.

I downloaded my first Black metal album from there, Great band, I'd never heard of them before, just went on a random download.

They're called "Hecate Enthroned" And the Album Is called "Upon Promethean Shores
(Unscriptured Waters)"

I've been going through the collections, I downloaded black metal, power metal and now industrial metal.

i drove with some friends cross country over the weekend, we did some pretty metal stuff.

we visited the cafe where Euronymous` store used to be
i bought an Annihilation of the wicked shirt (thats Nile if you didnt know)
we fucked around at the snowy mountains
we had a drinking contest
we ate NORSK ARISK FÅRIKAL RARR!

so this weekend was pretty fucking metal
