Our metallic journey calls on the elder spirits this week, as deep-rooted folk metal bands channel the ancient traditions of England, Norway, Switzerland, Japan, Mexico, Mongolia, Brazil, Ireland, China, and the United States in service of powerful, moving folk traditions wedded to solid metal. Join us for incantations, hymns, and headbanging madness from Tengger Cavalry, Skyclad, Mezarkabul, Cemican, Yomi, Eluveitie, Hardingrock, Heilung, Primordial, Chthonic, Zeal & Ardor, and more.
Check the fifty-year growth of heavy metal, including the first emergence of folk influences, in SOUND OF THE BEAST: The Complete Headbanging History of Heavy Metal.
