THANX EVERYONE!!!!!! ;D ;D ;D y'all sure put down a lot of interesting stuff for me to track down... i'm only familiar with Värttinä from these 'till now... from Spain (estado Espanyol jejeje) i'm only familiar with: HEVIA (Asturies), which is quite good and AMPARANOIA (Andalucia)... from Portugal i know nothing, Luar na Lubre sound great... i really dig celtic influenced music from the South (south of the Isles that is ;D ), not that the rest is bad, just a bit worn out perhaps... hmmmm, might as well post these, since they're close to "my" land:
ARBE GARBE are from North Italy (close enough ;D ) and play furlanic folk songs with a nice rock/punk feel to it....
BALKANIKA are (were?) an interesting balkan etno music mix project worth checking out
GUSTAFI are a fun etno/rock/punk mix from Croatia with a brass backup

Ah, that's an eye-opener I really like 'em though. I've got pretty much every cd they've released. They must be one of my most favorite bands.. Oh, it's really amazing for me that you know so well an Spanish band. I don't know what my opinion is about them ;I've said a lot of times in the forum that I consider them a very good band in studio but oretty bad in concert... but this summer they played in my village, and they were a fucking spectacle, incredible missè-on-scene, a great sound and playing ok; I have watched them on 2002 and they were horrible... and that was the general opinion I had heard from their shows. SO it seems they have improved. Lately the drummer Txus has talked very badly from the rest of Spanish bands, and a lot of people has critizised him badly. Even I can tell you that the singer of Angeles del Infierno (a Spanish band very famous in SouthAmerica) was sometime going to the pubs Txus usually goes just to knock him down. The problem with this Txus and the rest of the band is that they are very boastfull... Txus once said that all the people had envy of them because theyhad reached the Iron Maiden importancy... that's a good show of how they are, I think. But anyway, I also like them, and at last, the important thing is that they write a very good music, not how much assholes they are.

Also from Germany:Falkenbach, www.falkebach.de, atmosperic black gothic folk doom. The lyrics are in parts from the Edda.

I've got one album from Falkenbach. I looked their web page some time ago, and I saw some things that made me have a doubt; I saw a lot of symbols too much similar to the ones osed by the nazis in the times of prewar and war. Could somebody tell me if this people are "this way" or deny it completely? I say this because I know that some bands have the "clever brain" to say they're nazis... and I don't want to have anything to do with such a crap people, and I would feel sorry if Falkenbach are amongst them... I like a lot the song Ultima Tule. By the way, Mr Hitta has said today somethig about Ultmia Tule... what's that? supposse is some mythilogical figure or something?

Dave, most bands who have such a relation to NSBM (National Socialist Black Metal) show it in a very extreme matter, which isn't the case with Falkenbach. I'm not sure if they have connections to that scene, but I very much doubt it.

i think falkenbach is kind turned to paganism (like in song "heathenpride" and others) and maybe with "nationalist" touch, but it quite lite. i have never listen, but that there is spanish folk metal(also kind black i think) called numen, but as halran said go check www.metal-archives and feast your eyes. there are some portuguese folk bands, unfortunaly not many(without counting a particular style, which i almost despise). i went to see realejo(the instrument where your turn a handle in order to produce the sound and make the notes using a keyboard similar to accordion), that has the name of the instrument. is not because they are portuguese, but they kicked ass!!!!!it was so cool! i think one element really look in them is the use of a iberian percussion box called "adufe"(maybe seth knows the translation). But the band is hard to find, at least on the internet. i know another spanish folk called atlantida(from Cantabria, i think). it was the other band that i saw. nice, but slower. i'm really anxious to listen to estonian folk, because it is impressive how so little is known(at least in Portugal) from that country, as well as Lituany(i think its not well written) and Letonia. dave: i kicked your ass in this post!!!!!

If you suspect the bands that use Germanic pagan symbolicism of nazism, maybe that's just because the Nazis wanted to use Germanic pagan symbols too, and the Germans happen to have just one set of pagan symbols. There's a shitload of hypocrisy about that matter in Germany, which I can quite well understand, but not to sympathize with. I'm pretty sure that at some point some people in the Laplandburners land (Germany) will declare US to a nazi band because our rune-like writings, mjöllnirs, themes etc. (Hey, wouldn't that be evil if we were! ;D Oh damn, we would surely miss next year's Faces hippy-etnofestival... Well, you cannot always win. ) But that's how it is to be a metal musician; a potential nazi (unless proven otherwise). Ultima Thule is a Roman name for "the Ultimate North", a place located somewhere in the northern Europe. The ultimathule-thingy that i mentioned is from a Bal-Sagoth song name "Starfire Blazing Upon the Ice-Veiled Throne of Ultima Thule." ;D They have developed their own mythology world in which the happenings of their songs take place.

what is mjollnir? i know a band with that name.
i think the eagle(im not sure if it was this symbol) of the nazis was of a roman or pre-roman origin.
btw, who likes red army songs? i do! specially the national soviet anthem and kalinka.

btw, who likes red army songs? i do! specially the national soviet anthem and kalinka. ;D i didn't think that anybody (except my friend who is communist and listen to the patriotic songs of this period) listens to such songs . They are rather funny. The anthem of USSR is the new anthem of Russia (they simply changed the words, but nevetheless everybody sings the old words about Stalin and Lenin). And kalinka isn't song of red army, but it seems to be the most famous Russian song

Mjøllnir=Thor's Hammer.
We have some rather entertaining songs made by our own hardcore-communist faction in the seventies. Imagine a young child with an apathetic voice singing about the goodness and wisdom of uncle Lenin and uncle Ho Chi Minh in the rhythm of some hippy sounding 70's music. ;D

LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!IT WOULD ROCK!
thks for the translation!
in Portugal, in the time of the fascist dictatorship(it lasted about 41 years) 30 years ago was common to find that type of propaganda. well, not the music with a 70's style, because it would "degrade our moral".

I want to listen to this shit!!!!!! During the Soviet years there weren't any new music in USSR - only pop-shit from our country. Everything was forbidden. But we had many "poets" who wrote "patriotic" lyrics: I think you had never read more shit. And the greatest fashion was to call the children by the name of abbreviation of our leaders. For example, DAZDRAPERMA ;D - Viva May, 1st! - it is the holiday of spring and work! It sounds extremely funny and indecently, because sPERMA in Russian is sperm in English ;D. There were many such names. About kalinka - it doesn't have much sense: The snowball-tree(kalinka) - the raspberry (malinka) The snowball-tree, the raspberry My snowball-tree, my raspberry The snowball-tree, the raspberry are in my garden (not Malice ;D) and refren. And this words: the snowball-tree and and raspberry are pronounced with the pet-name. I don't know if you can understand what is it

thks for the translation hiding! that makes as much sense as a japonese touriste without a camera.
we say "esperma" to sperm. "viva" in portuguese is hooray, but it also a form of the verb to live.
