[@megametal8641]

@@Just_A_Dude Ridiculous. Dragonforce isn't speed metal for starters, it is power metal and not relevant. Speed metal has been around since the early 80s and I have been listening speed metal since it first came out in the early 80s (i.e. for over 40 years now). Speed metal is a VERY NARROW slice of what metal encompasses and a great many people cannot define it, for some reason.

Folk metal is a tricky one, because even if that sounded like many folk metal bands, it usually should have some similarities to different nations' folk music. But most of the times, it's up to bring up the folk-y vibe. The start of that power metal part could be considered folk metal somewhere 😂

[@birdandcatlover5597]

it made me think of the german folk/pirate metal band Santiano. "He's a Fiddler" is in english, and i started with that

[@gizibaikk]

That's interesting. I think it's because Folk metal itself can be considered as a sub-genre of power metal or maybe even melo-death. The only pattern it has is its folkish melody or riff.
