Folk Metal

Folk metal is a sub-genre of heavy metal, that developed in Europe inthe 1990s.
It's a fusion of heavy metal music with traditional folk.
One of the firsts bands of folk metal was the English band Skyclad. Their debut album, The Wayward sons of Mother Earth was released in 1990, and for some years, they were the only known band of folk metal.
In 1994 and 1995, other bands started to appear in the genre, from different regions of Europe, like in Israel.
Each one of that new bands, were creating a different regional variation.

In the 2000s, the genre exploded into prominence.

Folk music is characterised by the diversity with known bands to perfom different styles.

Lyrics in the genre commonly deal with paganism, nature, fantasy, mythology and history.


Our favorite band, Mago de Oz, plays folk metal music too. Some of their most famous songs of folk metal are:
* Jesús De Chamberí
* Van A Rodar Cabezas
* El Santo Grial
* Satania
* La Leyenda De La Mancha
* Gaia
* Maritornes
* El Paseo De Los Tristes
* Astaroth
* Réquiem

Really cool, we think.

We love Mago de Oz (L)

We forgot to put our ghosts story.
Here we go:

The Lady in white.
A boy, finds a beatiful lady, he invites her to dance and drink something. She was cold. He gaves her his jumper. She drops cafe on it. The next day, when the boy went to say her if she could give him his jumper, the lady's mother told him that her daughter is dead, in the cementery of Recoleta. The boy went there and finds his jumper in the lady's tomb. He went crazy and killed himself.


It's a little short, but a very weird story.

Do you believe in ghosts?
