Today I Discovered...Ensiferum
Thank you again, YouTube! Randomly appearing in my suggested links on the right hand side of another video was a link to a song called 'From Afar' by the band Ensiferum. Click on it I did, and bloody enjoy it I did also.
'Melodic Folk Metal' is probably the best way to describe this Swedish band. The music does a great job of inspiring me to want to do a bit of Viking invading and plundering (helped by some cracking costumes in their videos), and there are some fantastic melodies in there which I really love. There's something wonderful about a band being heavy and still wanting to keep a very melodious sound, contrary to what the mainstream world would believe.
I advise you to listen to the embedded video and then seek out some more immediately!
