Grab your battle axes and flagons of ale, we're running down 15 of my favorite folk metal albums. Whether you're new to the genre or an experienced listener, this list is bound to have SOMETHING that piques your interest from more stripped back pagan sounds to full symphonic bombastic stuff fit for a stadium. And we're not stopping with the Scandinavian folk either... we've got some Eastern stuff as well. So sit back and let the fiddles and accordions take hold.
