So lots of folk? Ensiferum pre-Petri Lindroos, Chthonic's most recent 2-3 albums, Nine Treasures (the Mongolian Korpiklaani), Metsatoll, Tyr between Ragnarok and Lay of Thrym, Wandersword, Arkona, Eluveitie, seconding Moonsorrow and Finsterforst, maybe Wintersun, any band that's ever been on Paganfest.

To find folk metal:

Step 1) Go to a metal gig
Step 2) Breathe deeply
Step 3) Note the direction the body odor is coming from. It is important to attempt this before the show otherwise the pit may make things difficult.
Step 4) Locate the neckbeard. Bonus points if neckbeard is wearing something ridiculous
Step 5) Ask the neckbeard what his favourite Scandinavian band is.

Crimfall. Their actual folkiness varies from song to song, but by the bands you mentioned (Turisas) I'm gonna assume you're not too worried by "authentic" folk elements.

I had a lot of hope for Megadeth after Endgame, and while 13 was okay it was a letdown, the last one.. blegh.

If there's a better place to discuss please point me there. I was hoping some of you goons would know more.

Well that's Megadeth finished. Seriously, at this point, who could Dave get to play with him? Who HASN'T he pissed off?

If you're going to listen to Elvenking, you should seriously look up Leprechaun's demo The Ultimate Dance, made with the vocalist from Elvenking while they were sort of on hiatus and way better (in my opinion) than anything from Elvenking. Also seconding Skyclad, it's sort of a shame more bands didn't follow in their style because I think they were a lot more interesting than what folk metal ended up being distilled to.

Haha that would be hilarious, I hope it happens. I can't imagine Portnoy and Mustaine getting along for more than 5 minutes though.

Dave's also apparently a giant homophobe ("I don't wanna gently caress up and not go to heaven" :laffo: like you can accidentally be gay if you're not careful) and a birther.

Somehow he got crazier when he kicked the drugs.

I wrote off Megadeth when Mustaine started re-mastering all his good material and managed to gently caress the entire project up.

Horns on Into the Lungs of Hell? What the heck man, gently caress you.

You know it's bad when the exact same album has a remix of the remaster that tries to undo all the damage.

I dunno, Steve Austin's managed to keep Today Is The Day together for over 20 years now despite being even harder to work with than Dave Mustaine, without the added advantage of actually making any money.

To be honest, I wouldn't say no if he asked me to join. poo poo, a guaranteed paycheck for dicking around on a guitar a couple hours a night 100 nights a year doesn't sound terrible, and I've had far shittier bosses.
