Celtic folk metal

Subgenre of Folk Metal that features Celtic Folk elements. Common additional instruments are bagpipe, whistle, fiddle, flute, bodhrán or hurdy gurdy, among many others. The origins of the genre can be traced to Skyclad, the first Folk Metal band, who added Celtic Folk influences into some songs among other forms of folk, being “The Widdershins Jig” the first song that included Celtic Folk elements in 1990.

Releasedatum, Titel und Cover für das dritte NG-Album stehen fest! Absolut zeitgleich haben sich die wichtigsten Vorab-Fakten zu unserem nächsten Album quasi wie von selbst festgelegt, und wir wollen kein Geheimnis mehr daraus machen: Die Scheibe wird "Ardeo" heißen und am 26. November 2010, also noch in diesem Herbst, überall erhältlich sein. Wer schon mal einen Blick in die Zukunft werfen möchte und sich von Travis Smith's Talent für Artwork überzeugen mag kann sich hier das Cover von "Ardeo" betrachten. Er hat eine perfekte Moment-Aufnahme aus dem Titelsong der CD aufs Papier gebracht, welche wir euch keinen weiteren Moment vorenthalten möchten! Cheers. Nachtgeschrei

A few of Battlelore's songs have a celtic feel to them. Valier- Queens of the Valarsprings to mind. And, for those who might not know, "Celtic" covers the Ireland, most of what is now England and a good deal of southern Continental Europe. The Gauls, who lived in what's now France and Spain, were Celtic.
