Deep Folk Metal

Deep folk metal is a subgenre of heavy metal that combines traditional folk music with the intense, aggressive sound of metal. It often features acoustic instruments such as flutes, fiddles, and bagpipes, as well as heavy electric guitars and pounding drums. The lyrics often draw on folklore and mythology, with themes of battle, nature, and the supernatural. Deep folk metal bands include Ensiferum, Eluveitie, and Korpiklaani.
