Folk metal is one of many genres in metal, that I listen to. It's actually third one, I got into after heavy (Iron Maiden etc, bands that everyone knows) and power metal. I've discovered folk metal as genre in pretty strange way... school project where I had to describe "modern music with ethnic/folk instruments" (I was 15 years old then and I still was "newbie" in metal). I've ran into messageboard, where folk metal was mentioned and someone recommended Finntroll. As fan of metal I was curious about how it would sound and checked their music on YouTube. I've fell in love instantly and started digging this genre. Then I've found Moonsorrow, one of most epic folk metal band, I've ever heard, Korpiklaani which is capable of bringing smile back on Your face every time and You just can't sit tight while listening to it or very atmospheric Falkenbach who have made one of my favourite folk/viking metal (I have problem with finding difference between those two genres in anything except lyrics) songs ever- Homeward Shore. Then I've found many other bands like Ensiferum (Treacherous Gods \m/ ) or Eluveitie for example. I think this is whole story behind me being folk metal fan. I listen to many other genres, but I'm not going to do offtopic here

I own an YouTube channel, on which I post my guitar covers (I also have one self-made and composed intro). Mostly some "darker" stuff, but I've made even one Korpiklaani cover (Before The Morning Stuff). If You want to check it out, then here it is: www.youtube.com/user/Adryyjan If You like it, and have Your channel as well, then feel free to subscribe and share Your opinion on YouTube. Quality is not perfect, but I'm not professional.

I've recently ordered custom 8 string electric guitar. I think it's time to show some people, that 8 string guitars are used not only for deathcore stuff and after I get it (about 3 months) I will finally have instrument that fits my playing style perfectly. I'm already impatient, because I'm pretty sure, it will be one sick instrument!

My favourite one is Rauta. Still wondering, why it's not called "Iske". It's awesome, how one word repeated numerous times can get stucked in head. About english versions- to be honest I prefer "original" language, it's much easier to "feel" this album then. Also Ievan Polkka and Husky Sledge are my personal highlights on this album.
