Folk Metal Journey (Folk Riff Extended Version)

[@RazBenAri]

Thanks so much, it's comments like this that keep me going. You guys have been amazing throughout the past couple of years and I can't possibly respond to every one individually, but I read as much as I can and I appreciate all the nice words. Once again, thank you!

[@vladdrac3927]

Yeah! the folk metal piece from "10 genres of metal in 3 minutes"...

[@davidbrian5005]

Dude, your music takes me out of my depression..this is awesome man,,,,cheers from Argentina.

[@Ceolskog]

Ensiferum are a Finnish band, but at times, I think people could argue that hey verge on Viking metal (not that I would myself - I don't really see how lyrical content creates a genre). They have a few songs that concern Scandinavian mythology, such as "Twilight Tavern", which appears to be about Valhalla. Also, I play in a folk metal band in New Zealand, but that doesn't stop us using Irish or Scottish melodies or singing about historical figures from around the world, including Scandinavia.

[@URFUKKD]

Ha, i was absolutely sure that i had heard that intro-melody somewhere, looked out some old In Flames cd's, then realized that it was your own song as heard in Genres of Metal. AWESOME!

[@cilesio]

i confess that i hear "10 genres of metal in 3 minutes" just beacause of folk metal and glam rock. great song, congratulatinos for your talent, razbenari.

[@MrScientist90]

Sounds like Dialogue With The Stars by In Flames

[@gelismissuriyeli4440]

Unbelievable .!!! I was re-watching the Video of 10 genres of metal in 3 minutes and I thought to myself The Folk metal riff is so cool, I wish he would do a full version ... then BOYAAA. Keep Rocking Raz \M/ You're the best

[@Peapolop]

I remember getting super excited when this video came out. Still here every so often! 🔥🔥

[@RJBadman]

Same! :) All these years later still!

[@BaldyMacbeard]

I think this is your best one as of now... Love it how you keep the same simple riff interesting by messing around with harmonies and different root chords...

[@arktomorphos]

Like 90s In Flames. Absolutely awesome, dude.

[@phurryvermin3363]

OMG OMG OMG OMG I thought you were never going to release it! I had forgotten and totally missed the release!

[@phurryvermin3363]

7 year later.. sasaaaammmmeeeeee story.. man.. I'm gunna pick up my guitar

[@Jfullmetal21]

I've been a fan of you for a long time, and I won't stop ever in my life. I tell all my friends about you, show them your videos, and spread this shit around as much as I can. It's just fucking amazing, I wish I was that good at guitar.

[@ConqueringTheSteel]

Awesome work man, I love folk metal....this reminds me of very early in flames like Lunar Strain/Jester Race era.

[@Loserfaceee666]

omg, i loved this little rift on the 10 genres of metal, and you jut expanded on it ;~; i'm in love

[@aughamullan]

Though I am not the biggest fan of metal, it's your folk type of music that keeps me interested. You are doing a great job and I hope to see many more, different, types of music to come! :)

[@TheMetalfan123]

At last! I've been waiting for another upload for so long! Awesome job, Raz!

[@RJBadman]

Had this on repeat for half an hour. XD It's still SO GOOD.

[@ziltoidthegreat]

dude you're absolutely one of my favorite artists. I like the paso doble idea too.

[@magicbjorn]

I've listened to your guitar play for a long time now and it never ceases to amaze me! You were awesome with the electric guitar, but with this classic (I guess it's semi-electric or something. I'm not into guitars that much) guitar, it makes the intro even more epic! Drums and bass are equalized very nicely, so we can all hear your amazing guitar play! Lovely song, lovely guitar, lovely artist! Love it

[@Pedro.Felgueiras]

dude, i play bagpipe and i love folk metal, you should have a statue, this is the best backtrack to improvise i ever saw in youtube :D

[@nateW24]

You've never released anything I didn't enjoy. I always get excited when I see something new from you on my feed

[@OldVideosBG]

Yes! If you did this for each of the genres that would be amazing.

[@williamellmaker1949]

Way to go my friend. Way to do what you love doing

[@StealthHR]

Excellent work as always, Raz, as soon as I saw the title I knew this was the riff. :D

[@Jfullmetal21]

Absolutely man, this stuff needs to be heard! It just fucking rocks and I've never seen anything like it! You're really original with the stuff you put on here, and that's something you don't see very often.

[@SgtStinger]

Awesome! I have wanted this since you first released 10 genres of metal!

[@sveinterjeabeland]

TABS! TABS FOR ZE PEOPLE!!! We want them :P And awesome work mate

[@bearborne]

[@MrDeeporaj]

GOD BLESS YOU GUITARIST & the uploader.

[@Beholder505]

You should do a 3 genres of metal in 10 minutes now. But yeah, this was great. Loved it.

[@vladimir.alexandroff]

Good work mate. Reminds "Moonshield" but you take it somewhere very different. I like, thank you.

[@hinawachainsaw7820]

Very nice job, dude. Really! Now , if you could make an extended version of the thrash metal part, in your other video, that would be just great. I hope that i, one day, will become just as good as you, playing the guitar :)
