Essential Folk Metal Albums: Part 2: 10 - 6

Following on from yesterday's post where I laid out my idea and then shared numbers 20 - 11 in my list of what I consider to be the essential 20 Folk Metal albums that all fans of the genre should own / hear. Here I give to you numbers 10 - 6. There are some formidable albums here, but the best is yet to come. Any guesses as to what might have made the top 5?
