I used to be especially lot into folk metal and folk/black crossovers etc. back in the past, here's some of my favs from those times:
(These are thus from the 90's to the early years of 00's. I have no idea what kind of stuff there is around nowadays.)
=======================================================
PS. There was some talk in another thread some time ago here when I briefly mentioned that I once auditioned to the keyboardist spot for Ensiferum (they were yet to release their legendary self-titled debut album in '01), but my skills were nowhere near the required level. Some years later, I also played kantele on a couple of songs on Moonsorrow - Verisäkeet.
=======================================================
Oh, and here's a rather unofficial and fairly clumsy Talvi rehearsal/draft song from '02. For a short while, I was considering to take the project more towards folk black metal, but this one was so different to anything else I did, so I then decided to not include it on the 2nd demo afterall (and even that release never came out as planned but first almost 2 decades later as a very hasty remaster from the old backups).

And here are some that are less/not black and rather more folk metal instead:
==================================================
Here's my old "kantele metal" project and debut album from '06:
And from the self-titled demo / MCD '04:

Linking this one too (Ajattara - Itse), though less folk in music, the lyrics are very much inspired by the Finnish folklore: ==================================================== Not metal at all but a Lithuanian folk music group Kūlgrinda collaborating with Donis, an ambient & experimental artist from the same country: ==================================================== And metal-related, the Latvian folk metal group Skyforger played a fully acoustic set in a medieval festival held in Turku, Finland back in 2004. I was there in the audience *). \o/ *) The back of my head at the end of the vid. ![](//storage.proboards.com/6657015/thumbnailer/qZuFktAcXRYCiSyrqLsq.png) PS. Sry for slightly drifting away from what was originally requested.
