Episode 128: Folkfest of The North

Out of all the subgenres of Metal, Folk Metal is one of our favorites. Each band in this subgenre brings their own take and sound, based on who they are, where they are from, and what their unique experience/culture is. While this is true for all Metal, Folk Metal will also bring unique instruments you don’t hear anywhere else in Metal. So when we saw the Finnish bands Korpiklaani and Ensiferum bring Folkfest of The North to the states we knew we had to be there. But it wouldn't be a Folkfest without at least one other band right? Well they brought two, Trollfest (from Norway) and Nini (from Taiwan with US musicians). Join us as we look back at these four unique bands with their four unique sounds.
