The Silver Wheel (Full Album)
Great band, soft sound, soothing style. It's like rain running down the window on a dark cloudy night. Beautiful and simple. As far as I know this band consists of a three musicians, a vocalist/keyboardist, a guitarist, and a drummer however I've seen pictures of three woman and four men and the live shows I watched had all those same folks, some playing recorder and hurdy gurdy ect. Maybe someone else can confirm this. Anywho, great band!
When I saw Trobar de Morte as support for Faun they used very elaborate instruments like whistles and a hurdy-gurdy.
I don't know if Daemonia Nymphe ever tour the US, but if you get the chance to see them, do it! It's a magnificent experience.
By the way, GreyMorph: I give you a rating of     for great music taste

You're so lucky to see all these bands live. I don't think that any of them tour the US. As far as I know, Omnia is the only one to come to the US and I think they only went to Oregon. Ill be doing another review tonight if luck has it!
And thanks, buddy! Ill give you the same for your tastes and your pantheistic view.

Faun played in Seattle earlier this year. But apart from that most of the bands only tour Europe indeed. I was very happy for you guys in the states that Wardruna got confirmed for Stella Natura in September, but then they were denied their visas with the justification that Wardruna "does not qualify as a culturally unique band". 
Stella Natura is a great festival, check it out if you don't know it yet. It takes places near Lake Tahoe. I actually considered to fly over and attend since I'm addicted to Wardruna concerts, but now I'm glad I didn't.

That's sucks! I used to live over near Lake Tahoe but now I'm on the other side of the continent. Basically they're going to the more liberal states and I live in one of the least liberal.
If this genre keeps up then it's only a matter of time before Americans finally get a good taste.

Arkona, another heavy metal band for the Pagan world!
Long ass Russian Title (Won't attempt spelling it correctly, lol)
Goi, Rode, Goi!
This band is Russian based, female vocals with heavy growling if you're into chicks that seem like they may turn into a werewolf at any second. this band seems pretty bad ass and next time I'm in a metal mood I will definitely listen to them some more. They are definitely not an acoustic but an electric band with a synth and electric guitar and bass as expected of a heavy metal band however they also use traditional acoustic instruments. I highly recommend this band for the metal heads. If you're not a metal fan then you may want to pass on this one. Devil horns!

Well, they regularly tour the US for sure - they were in the US until less than a week ago. Another band I highly recommend seeing live, the frontwoman is a beast! 
Fun fact: as I write this I'm wearing an Arkona bandshirt

To Arkona you mean? I've been listening to Folk Metal for many years, starting with Eluveitie. They're still one of my favourite bands and I'm in good contact with them as well. In my explorations to find new bands I came across Arkona one day as well. I found their album От Сердца к Небу (Od Serdtsa K Nebu) and was blown away. I still think it's one of the best albums in Folk Metal. Arkona have become very popular here and can be seen often. I know many people who, when Arkona are added to a festival or tour line up, react like "not AGAIN!". Same goes for Eluveitie, by the way.

That's crazy how something so awesome and popular in Europe isn't even heard of around here yet everyone is into pop, rap and techno. Pop bein the absolute worst! I used to love America but its going downhill fast, I want to return to my roots!

Well, they don't play Folk Metal in the popular radio stations here either, as they sometimes do in Scandinavia. But we have a huge scene of thousands and thousands of people who enjoy music that is based on our roots, and there are enough listerners to make tours and festivals worthwhile. You could spend an entire german summer with a festival every weekend and you would still miss a lot. This is a big reason why living here is great fun. But don't forget that living in the US has upsides too: you have a lot of space and great wilderness, things that have become rare in central Europe. Let me know if you come to Germany, I think it would be fun to show you around some good old fashioned medieval market.

Oh I will, that'd be awesome.
So you're saying that Europe doesn't have much wilderness left?

Central Europe is densely populated so you're never far from the next city. You can still get away from people, but the woods are nowhere as large and wild as in Montana or in Alaska. I don't know if it's better or worse compared to the eastern US since I haven't been there yet. We do have wild wolves here, though, the closest pack is roaming just 20 kilometers north of here, and of course there's huge wildernesses in the Alps and in Scandinavia, which both are not too far away from me. I probably have to cover less distance to the deep Swedish woods than the distance you would have to cover to get beyond a neighbour state...  So yeah, all in all living in central Europe is good

My neighborhood is the woods! :P haha, I'm lucky but it's still not the same because I know I can walk for a while and easily find a road if I know what I'm doing. I did live in the Western states for a few short years and I could have easily gotten last. The total population of a town that I lived in was 1000 and the closest city was a few hours away even driving at 80MPH. I do kiss that but at the same time I sorta disliked it. Mostly liked it though. haha.
I'm gonna do a review later tonight. Right now I'm playing guitar.

Dance of Death!...or Saltatio Mortis! Another Metal band.
Ebenbild
Another kick ass metal band. They use electric instruments along with traditional acoustics. Their videos are pretty awesome although I haven't seen a live performance video but its probably equally as exciting. I also havent heard a song in english but they may have some. So here's another great band for you metal heads and metal heads need to hang around cause the next two bands are also metal if I'm not mistaken. Sorry for not sharing as many reviews lately, I've been caught up and will probably continue to be caught up for the next few weeks but be prepared for at least five reviews a week! Hope you guys like this, I enjoy them.

Damn, reading that Omnia blog really makes me think why Steve still has friends at all... You see, Joe was Omnia's guitarplayer until the Alive album, then he left because Steve became too douchey. The new guitarplayer, Philip, wasn't overly amazing but he did a decent job. But now Steve writes: "Gosh... after jammin' and recording with Joe Hennon these last couple of days ... I do realise how much we miss a really good guitar sound sometimes... sweet!" ...which is a kick in the nuts for Philip really.
Saltatio Mortis comes twofold, they play both metal and acoustic medieval music! Both show types are awesome. Their new album reached #1 in the German music sales charts, which shows how popular they are here.

I know him and I'm pretty sure he meant it exactly that way 
Here's a little impression of Saltatio Mortis in their acoustic style:

How do you know them all in person? I mean sure the festivals but I mean I'm sure they're busy with shit tons of fan so obviously they'd come off a little cross. Awesome video by the way, I think I prefer their acoustic sound.
