Maybe it's the fact I'm part Finn-Swede, but I find it kind of insulting that one of the more popular trends in metal right now is warping old Scandinavian culture and mythology into the sort of nerdy power fantasy imagery worthy of being airbrushed onto a van. If metal fans weren't so enchanted by the novelty of anything foreign they'd be able to see that Ensiferum are no better than your local 80s metal ripoff band with a lead singer that wears wolf shirts and sings about dragons.

There are some bands like Woods of Infinity that use a real folk element, and in an emotionally sincere way, not to prop up some romantic viking/heathen image. But besides them, there is nothing more plastic and inauthentic than the stuff being marketed as "folk metal". Even Enya and Kenny G don't quite stack up.

yeah Ensiferum isn't too terribly good
I mean I like the singer (His previous work with Norther is awesome) but Ensiferum?
not too much

the only folk metal band I like is Falconer

I've read the Kalevala and it has nothing to do with derivative candy keyboard metal and dragons. What an insult to Scandinavian culture.

I guess so, but I have to admit that I love Amon Amarth.
Which is Melodic Death Metal, but inspired on Germanic mythology.
