    This is cool stuff. Check out this story from NPR about Scandinavian Folk Music being combined with Heavy Metal. It's cool stuff....

    And check this video out by a band called Lumsk. I'm digging it....

    I can't get that first link's mp3 to DL or play. Thanks for the links tho, I would've given it a listen. I'm DL'ing the video.

    Interesting stuff but I really have trouble with songs in languages I can't understand. It loses it's relevance for me when I can't understand their quest for the dark gods of the north woods or whatever it is those Vikings are singing about 😉

    I usually agree but we both like Rammstein and we cannot understand them 🙂

    For me, it's the power of the music and the vocal's are just another instrument. I think it's one of the reasons I love Rammstein. His voice is powerful and complements the music perfectly.

    A lot of Lumsk reminds me of a little heavier Enya, but the video I linked had a whole different power feel to it.

    Besides, I can't understand half the bands I like and it's in English....
