[@capnmoench]

I've been looking through all of these Folk Metal videos, and I think I want to go to the woods of Europe. I mean, you'd have to see like 30 bands on a 5 mile hike.

[@leotheking1000]

Wie just have a lot of wood ;) if ya know what i mean :D

[@moonchant]

Nothing beats hiking in Finnish primeval forest and listening to metal same time ;)

[@jeffspencer8826]

This is easily one of the best youtube comments I've ever seen... hahaha

[@MissCVanity]

Your comment just cracked me up real hard haha. Not to mention the black metal bands in Norway.

[@elwoodpl]

You Win the Internet with this comment! hahahaahahah

[@Joedogjr]

Ensiferum is one of the most amazing bands in existance. Period.

[@sheilab_34]

Yes they are!!! ❤

[@killervell98]

Yes they are, God speed to you lad.

[@Wolfkrieg1488]

A raven came to me, Spoke to me in my dream. A long lost prophecy, A forgotten legacy. Echoes of yesterday, Won't let these dreams fade away. All the beauty I adored, At the edge of the world. Across the universe, Time is to be reversed. No shelter can be found, To this fate, we are bound! Behold the final hour, The last times will be dour. All life falls into gorge Of the end of the world! "Burning skies On the vengeances night. Devastating scythe, Of the ancient Light." I saw the might, Of the ancient Light! And the beauty of the perishing world, Theres no tomorrow. We have been warned. "The sky's bird struck fire, Made a flame flare up. The north wind burnt the clearing. The north-east quite consumed it: It burnt all the trees to ash and reduced them to dust."

Matthew Stephens Never heard of them so i went looking, listened to a few, and i think you could be right Sir, Holy Thunderforce, would be very good when i'm on my Pali :)

[@anderson13666]

Try playing Skyrim with Wanderer song. This will rock

[@Vexelior]

I really feel, despite Ensiferum having been around for decades, they are vastly underrated. Out of all the folk/viking inspired metal bands, Ensiferum is the best.

[@AgentSkyper]

Yes they are !

This entire album is simply pure magic and brilliant....From Afar really does transport you

[@BathrobesamuraiB]

+Akil Manwaring While I love this Album, I have to say that I just prefer their album "Unsung Heroes" more. You should definitely look into it if you haven't already :D

[@akilmanwaring7767]

I've listened to all of them and Unsung Heroes comes out last for me.....Sorry there :D

[@BathrobesamuraiB]

Ahhhh, it's okay xD I think Unsung just has more of that Melodic Lore tint to it. It hits me in the feels. Makes me feel like Beowulf

[@MAAP2920]

In Finland we have this unique touch...its different than others.

[@thorvaldvolgardsson6807]

I would love to visit finland one day!

[@wardeni9603]

Which is also very apparent in bands like Finntroll, Turisas, Crimfall and Wolfhorde. They all sound different, but they all sound Finnish.

[@METALisentfortheweak]

reason y i pretty only listen to European metal i live in Canada most of the music suck crap here the only band worthy of calling it metal here wood be woods of ypres other then that are heaviest band would be sum 41 or some crap like that

[@myquest666420]

@@METALisentfortheweak dude, Canada has some incredible metal. Cryptopsy would be at the top of that list, but there are MANY others. I love Finnish metal, but how can you be from Canada and say sum41 is heavy?

[@cannonfodder4000]

Let's get something straight: Not only is From Afar one of Ensiferum's best songs, it's also one of their best albums. Let's get another thing straight: This video contains some of the worst lipsynching ever conceived by human reckoning.

Fuck you bitch, I don't listen to that shit

[@DualHelix5]

You're just a troll, ad I'm above that. There are plenty great death metal American bands. Just get over yourself.

[@gamerdareswins2825]

DualHelix5 in no troll, I speak only fact. And yes I agree with you on good death metal in america. Like Nile, but the only really reason they are so big is because of their drummer George kollias who is european.

[@DualHelix5]

I'm not even a Nile fan. There are plenty of great American death bands, as well as European. There's no need to talk shit about another country like that, that's why you've been called a troll. To just say all of one country's metal is not good is ignorant at the least. The metal community should be tolerant and respectful to each other. I only hope you can be a little less closed minded and learn a little respect.

[@oxyninjassassin]

[@user-oo8oj1hl8k]

Or maybe a lot of Ensiferum essence is in Wintersun, after all, Ensiferum is a much older band.

[@jotape5681]

First, there was Bal-Sagoth, whose essence is in both, Ensiferum and Wintersun.

[@user-oo8oj1hl8k]

Jota Pe Ensiferum was formed in 1996, the members had most likely never heard of bal-sagoth, since it was a UG band formed in a different country only 3 years earlier. What influenced Ensiferum though was Amorphis

+Siberian Blood Orden Ogan. Lumsk. Eluveitie (well, the song's with their female vocalist leading), Alestorm. Kamelot.

[@BathrobesamuraiB]

+Siberian Blood And while "technically" not Folk Metal, I also highly suggest Blind Guardian, because they share so many themes with folk metal, with more of a power metal twist to it. And they have so many songs based on Fantasy Book series' like "Lord of the Rings" and "The Wheel of Time"
