Folk metal

This "Folk Metal" playlist is like diving into a mythical world where Norse gods, epic battles, and ancient folklore come alive with a hard-hitting metal twist. It kicks off with the thunderous rhythms of Fferyllt's "Disciples of War" and takes you on a dark, melodic journey through tracks like "By Fire and Sword" by Pagan Reign and the haunting "Skjøn jomfru (Norwegian version)" by Myrkgrav. As you navigate through songs like Ensiferum's anthemic "One Man Army" and the intricate melodies of "Lai Lai Hei," you’ll get a taste of the diverse sounds that define folk metal, from the aggressive to the enchantingly melodic.

Expect to be swept from the eerie, atmospheric tunes like "Nebbie" by Folkstone to the vibrant energy of "Ievan Polkka" by Korpiklaani, showcasing the genre's unique ability to fuse traditional folk music instruments with heavy metal's raw power. The playlist also includes gems like "Dragons of the North" by Einherjer and the battle-inspired "Raise Your Horns" by Vanir, ensuring that there's no shortage of lore-inspired lyrics and guitar-driven tracks to keep you hooked. Whether you're into the tales of Vikings, the mystique of ancient forests, or just crave a playlist where metal meets folklore, this selection has got enough variety to transport you to another realm.
