Folk Metal A - Z

This is a project I have been (and am still) working on for a couple of years now and it's a big one. I've been a fan of the Folk Metal sub-genre(s) for almost 30 years now since coming across a Skyclad video on MTV back in the very early 90s.

Anyway, I have decided to list all of the bands I have heard in the genre (500 and counting) and to then break this list down into bitesize pieces / separate blog posts.

To that end, I have started to listen through every album by each band, starting with those beginning with (you guessed it) A and have listed those which I personally consider to be the best of these.

For each band I have then written a brief intro text and than have noted similar artists, before finally recommending the standout song and album. Still with me? Great...so lets get started.
