This song is quite good xD. I love this brand of folk music. I usually hear it woven into metal music, but this works xD. These guys should help add some more variety to my playlists.

Here's a song that the metalheads among you might like:



It's from a band called Orphaned Land. They're an Israeli progressive "death metal" band in a similar vein as Opeth. They skillfully employ the use of middle eastern melodies within a metal framework that covers the entire spectrum of intensity from the softest, most subtle of musical lines to the most brutal riffs. If you like Opeth, Dream Theater, etc. you should definitely give these guys a whirl. The similarity in structure is undeniable, but they're far from being clones. Also these guys are even more diverse if you can believe that. This particular song I've had on loop for some time now. It's got me with the beautifully atmospheric chorus, classic arena rock inspired guitar melody, kick-ass solo, and an ending that makes me want to get up and godsmack the life out of shit.
