Folk metal is a sub-genre of heavy metal music that developed in Europe during the 1990s, a fusion of heavy metal and traditional folk music. This includes the widespread use of folk instruments and, to a lesser extent, traditional singing styles (for example, Dutch Heidevolk, Danish Sylvatica and Spanish Stone of Erech).

Dave Stewart – The Ringmaster General (2012)

A moment’s distraction, a car door slams – happens to us all. And Stewart would be the first to admit to a certain degree of preoccupation. In the last year, he’s released his own album, The Blackbird Diaries; overseen projects for Stevie Nicks, Orianthi and Joss Stone; launched a signature guitar with Duesenberg, the Dave Stewart Blackbird; taken part in the all-star band Super Heavy; co-wrote the score for Ghost The Musical; and during a spare moment, he sold a TV pilot to ABC (Malibu Country, currently filming with Reba McEntire and Lily Tomlin).

Tanita Tikaram – Can’t Go Back (2012) 2CD

multi-million selling British singer songwriter, who shot to fame with her award winning album ‘Ancient Heart’ in 1988, featuring hit songs ‘Twist In My Sobriety’ and ‘Good Tradition’, returns with her seventh studio album ‘Can’t Go Back‘, to be released worldwide in July via earMUSIC (Edel).

The album features some of America’s most exciting modern soul musicians, and was lovingly crafted by producer Paul Bryan (Aimee Mann, Grant Lee Phillips, Nina Nastasia) at Sound Factory in Los Angeles.

The musicians included Bryan himself as well as keyboardist Keefus Ciancia (B.B. King, T.Bone Burnett, Elton John, Everlast), Ray LaMontagne’s drummer Jay Bellerose and long term friend and guitarist Mark Creswell. Guest vocals come from American folk singer songwriter Grant Lee Phillips.

Vanir – Onwards Into Battle (2012)

VANIR with its name which comes from Norse Mythology touches on the fact that the band draws many inspirations from Norse, but also Irish and Scottish Folklore. ‘Onwards Into Battle’ is the second album of the Danish ensemble. VANIR’s music subscribes to the genre’s traditional sounds and I’m not only talking of the bagpipes and whistles, on the platform of a mixture of Power and even Death Metal.
