anyone got any recommendations for folky melodic black metal similar to rotting christ? proggy black metal is appreciated too.

I think they were already mentioned in the thread but there is always Eluveitie.

Eluveitie - Calling the Rain

There is also Arkona.

Arkona - Sva


Not sure if you'll like those two or not, as Folk Metal is my favorite genre, so I live for their heavy doses of just pure acoustic Folk Melodies, so they may not quite be as aggressive as you want in some parts.

If that's the case, try out Windir. Even if it's not, try them out anyway. Very much a more black metal feel, yet still noticeably folky, and awesome.

Windir - Todeswalzer
 
i don't mind it not being aggressive lol. i listen to a lot of non-metal so that's not an issue.

windir was slightly too blacky for me, arkona was a tad too folky for me (idk i found it sorta boring), but eluveitie was pretty much what i was after.

it seems my taste in black metal is very specific lol.
 
I usually listen to the less extreme forms of metal myself, but I do enjoy some extreme folk like Eluveitie or Ensiferum occasionally and some thrash like Pantera and Megadeth and whatever genre Nevermore is.

My favorite band is Blind Guardian.

I'm going to go see Symphony X in around a week or so. I'm really sad Nevermore dropped out of the tour :(

I enjoy the really cheesy stuff like Hammerfall and Rhapsody too, but I know my enjoyment is purely subjective :P
 
to be fair, Eluveitie are not black metal at all and are more melodeath with some dudes playing folk instruments than anything.

but Slania is still one of the better folk metal albums. which is odd, since i've never been a big fan of folk metal and most melodeath bores me these days.

meh.

*faints*

"During Gaga's February 5, 2010 appearance on Ryan Seacrest's radio show, Seacrest played the singer an excerpt from an interview he conducted with Ozzy Osbourne in which the Black Sabbath frontman said of Gaga, "She's very clever, very interesting. She's wacky and I like the zaniness of that woman."

According to MTV.com, this news pleased Gaga to no end. "Are you kidding? I'm the biggest Black Sabbath fan on Earth!" She even told Seacrest a story about how when she was a go-go dancer, one of her show-stopping numbers was to the Sabbath tune "Black Sabbath"."

oh god no.
 
oh my god

a

a pop star

said she liked metal

HOLY SHIT NOW WE ALL HAVE TO STOP LISTENING TO IT BECAUSE SOME RANDOM WHORE SAID IT WAS GOOD

seriously who the fuck cares
 
Of all the modern pop artists right now, I actually respect Gaga the most. She very seriously studied music, worked hard at it for many years, and was a songwriter that admired the glam rock bands of the 80s long before she became the modern personality she is now. I give her my props.


Anyways back to metal.

Turisas released a new album recently, and I finally decided to pick it up. Like it on the first few listens through, and this has always been a band that grows on me with time so I'm pretty happy.

Turisas - Take the Day

My only regret is that they're missing that one classic straight-up Folk Metal song that kicks your ass that they've had on their two previous albums (Sahti Waari and In the Court of Jarisleif respectively).
 
new Autopsy song is better than every band you listen to on its own

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SD_gQsSv9s8

it fucking slays, showed it to someone who didn't even like their old shit and they loved it. really hope the rest of the album is like this, and it should be, since their EP was fucking sick last year too.

so fucking stoked for this album. top thing i'm looking forward to this year.
 
Is there any really technical metal that doesn't involve screaming? I'm really into Protest the Hero's latest album and I was wondering if anyone knew some similar music?

you can try something with no vocals, like behold... the arctopus. Cynic's vocals, whilst not devoid from screaming, are still quite different and possess quite a lot of non-screaming so that may appeal, check out the track evolutionary sleeper.

@gaga stuff, Demi Lovato said she liked / respected (i forgot which) Job for a Cowboy. who the fuck cares.

I can't wait to hear the damn album, I've heard so much damn praise from everybody saying that is just as freaking godly as their first two albums. On a side-note, today marks the one year anniversary that Ronnie James Dio passed away. :/
