Youtube gem

My daughter was with me in the man cave. She likes to hang around when I am working on blades. Since she couldn't hammer nails (youngest kid was asleep) I let her watch cartoons on youtube for a while. By now she knows how to click from one to the next (didn't have to teach her. She fiured it out on her own).

Anyway, when she asked for tom and jerry cartoons, we stumbled on upon the video below. I thought it was brilliant. I had never heard of the band before, but now I like it, and have put it on my birthday CD list.
What I liked too was that my daughter liked the music as well :D
That's my girl :D

Enjoy.

That band is great. I like tough metal with folk influences.

Folk metal is indeed great stuff, though I prefer clean vocals (I'm not a fan of the growling/yelling). You should check out Kamelot, if you're not already familiar with them. After listening to their music, I was shocked to learn that they're from the States.

I'm a big fan of "beauty and the beast" style. A mix of clean lady voices and growling :)

You beauty and beast-ers might like Opeth. Only male vocals, but a nice mix of the two singing styles. Amazing music as well.

This stuff puts me in mind of Kaisers Orchestra...not quite metal enough, but nice external influences...polka, Russian folk music, etc.

Yep Bruno, I really like Tristania, and Morten Veland's new band Sirenia. I also listen a lot to Epica (the singer is just so HOT).

More Folk metal:

YouTube - ELUVEITIE - Inis Mona

It's nice to see the guy who spots growling and grab his celtic flute.

You might recognize melody from "La Vallée de Dana", both songs inspired by the same old breton song.

Thanks. I had already added Eluveitie to my list.
Btw, have you noticed that the melody of inis mona is a copy of the melody of the refrain in this one:

Great thread!!!

I love hearing music I have never heard of before. Keep it coming.

I grew up on George Jones, Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, ... . (even though I was a kid in the 80's my dad only listened to the "good" country music).

I bought 'Ashes' from Tristania, knowing only their early works. I discovered to my horror that they really turned 'sucky' to say it nicely. I really like their early work though. It has helped me through many a programming death march.

Sirenia is good, though in their last 2 albums, there is too much 'beauty' and not enough beast.

One of the last cds I bought (well, put on my christmas list) was this 'Elixir for existence'. The best song on the CD was this one imo, and resembles what tristania used to stand for.

One folkish metal band which uses various old instruments, tunes and languages in their music is In Extremo from Germany.

Regarding the beauty and the beast, I can't help mentioning Nightwish. They mostly do their own material, but the singing in this phantom is quite contrasty.

I have this album too, good one. I prefer the song "Lithium and a Lover" though.

This is another one I discovered by accident and liked very much. Sadly, the group abandoned all classical influences and became just another commercial metal band. The dialogue near the end of the song comes from the film 'Masque of red death'
