I've been known for my eclectic music tastes, so I'm wondering what others around here listen to that perhaps is so far from the norm or relatively unknown groups.

Elvenking - Romance and Wrath (Awesome Folkpower metal)



Alestorm - Keelhauled (Seriously, Pirate Metal! One of my fav bands)



I'd be surprised if many people here heard of either group

Ive heard of Elvenking and Alestorm, even checked out a few songs, but not really my cup of tea.
Dark Lunacy on the other hand i find fucking awesome, you might like this too if you like them :

Dominia




Novembre ( i love novembre to death <3)





EDIT: oh and shame on me for forgetting, the first pirate metal band

Wow thanks, Dominia is very good! This kind of sucks since I live in the US its so hard to find these guys albums and when I do (Like EBAY, etc.) it's quite expensive... /sadface.

Swallow the Sun - These Lowlands (The best Doom band, but I can count the amount of doom fans I've ever known on one hand lol, could be because the music is depressing)

oh sweet, you like doom too, now you've really come into my turf ^^, gimme a sec and il post some bands im sure you will like.

+ Show Spoiler +


Draconian, you've probably heard of them before, but next to swallow the sun, they are my favorite doom metal band



Daylight dies, a awesome american band



Saturnus



Slumber



Septic Flesh, when i first heard their name, i was like WTF ? I thought it was some god awful grind band, but they are actually awesome, they craft godlike melodies and have a guitar tone i just love, heres a tribute with some of their best work.



Doom:Vs, a solo project from Draconians singer, its basicaly Draconian but more doom and heavy.









By far my favorite genre of metal, ive got a ton of bands from the genre.

I´ve heard of and heard all of those except besigers ones.
Swallow the Sun is finnish and OK doom metal, but don´t listen to it that much.

Orphaned land is pure awesome, I listen to it sometimes and introduced it to my brother too.

Eluveitie is is Swiss and they use some old instruments in their music, don´t know that much really.

Don´t know Dark Lunacy but I can just say: WTF ! You say you don´t know Apocalyptica!
Apocalyptica

I heard that Elvenking is pretty much old school power metal :D
And Alestorm I have heard somewhere, I guess you might like Turisas?
Turisas

Oh god I´m kinda marketing finnish powermetal now and I don´t really even like it that much
But I like Amorphis :D = Kalevala Metal

And yeah, my UG bands:

Bal Sagoth ( This is.... ummm... kinda weird?)
A Tale from the Deep Woods


Chet Atkins ( There´s no words...Epic Stuff)
Mr Bo Jangles

Dozer
The Rising
Starcraft? Epic Grimness.

My favorite metal is probably Folk

Luca Turilli - Mystic and Divine (Simply the best in this genre by far)

Nice list. Been a stormlord fan for a while same with Catamenia, Northland, and Ensiferum.

You should check out Arcturus, I don't think any band comes close to matching them in their....atmosphere.
