Ensiferum's Into Battle - give the whole song a listen, it's definitely worth it
What are your favourite folk metal songs?

Props to Ensiferum above. They kick ass.
You have to love Turisas although I don't know if they're really considered much folk metal. Turisas - Battle Metal

This thread made my day. I could definitely understand why a great deal of people wouldnt like folk metal.
I'd watch what you say. Nords are a roudy bunch. Especially when joined by forest spirits.

If it was supposed to all be serious Ensiferum's singer wouldn't be doing this nowadays.

No need to apologize, people have tastes on many ends of the musical spectrum. I personally love punk, ska, jazz, death/folk metal, psychedelic rock, classic rock, experimental...everyone has their own take on the music they listen to, their own raw awakening of emotion. Whether it be for beauty, or mythological mystery, or just simply a good fucking guitar riff...there's always a sentimentality behind why I listen to a certain type of music.

Wiccan_Seeker said: If you're like me you like to know the lyrics of songs. Since this version of the song places more emphasis on voice, here's an English translation of the song:
Sir Mannelig
Early one morning before the sun did rise And the birds sang their sweet song The mountain troll proposed to the fair squire She had a false deceitful tongue
Sir Mannelig, Sir Mannelig won't you marry me For all that I'll gladly give you You may answer only yes or no Will you do so or no
To you I will give the twelve great steeds That graze in a shady grove Never has a saddle been mounted on their backs Nor had a bit in their mouths
Sir Mannelig, Sir Mannelig won't you marry me For all that I'll gladly give you You may answer only yes or no Will you do so or no
To you I will give the twelve fine mills That stand between Tillo and Terno The mill stones are made of the reddest brass And the wheels are silver-laden
Sir Mannelig, Sir Mannelig won't you marry me For all that I'll gladly give you You may answer only yes or no Will you do so or no
To you I will give the gilded sword That jingles from fifteen gold rings And strike with it in battle as you will On the battlefield you will conquer
Sir Mannelig, Sir Mannelig won't you marry me For all that I'll gladly give you You may answer only yes or no Will you do so or no
To you I will give a brand new shirt The lustrous best for to wear It is not sewn with needle or thread But crocheted of the whitest silk
Sir Mannelig, Sir Mannelig won't you marry me For all that I'll gladly give you You may answer only yes or no Will you do so or no
Gifts such as these I would gladly receive If you were a Christian woman But I know you are the worst mountain troll From the spawn of Necken and the devil
Sir Mannelig, Sir Mannelig won't you marry me For all that I'll gladly give you You may answer only yes or no Will you do so or no
The mountain troll ran out the door She wailed and she shrieked so loudly "Had I gotten that handsome squire From my torment I would be free now"
Sir Mannelig, Sir Mannelig won't you marry me For all that I'll gladly give you You may answer only yes or no Will you do so or no

Right on Brainiac.
Junkyard, I was just about to post this when you posted your last comment. This video is extremely badass.
I love Amon Amarth. I'm right up against the Canadian border in Central US so I never get to see anybody unless I go to Alberta. I wish I still lived in Cali for that reason alone.

Aye! Nice! I love the solo of Twilight of the Thundergod, but my favourite song from the new album is Embrace of the Endless Ocean
It's a sad, sad affair, that of you not being able to see any shows! I'm really glad I live near a major city for that reason, and thankfully Canada is still quite wild - natural beauty is close at hand!
