Instrumental Folk Metal

Hi guys, I've been searching around for more of this type of music, but I haven't come up with much. I've lurked this forum for awhile so I figured I'd try asking here.

I'm looking for something similar to Drudkh-Songs of Grief and solitude, Borknagar-Origin, Burzum-Hlidskjalf, and Agalloch-Mantle.

I mainly want stuff with no vocals, but with vocals is fine too. Any recommendations would be appreciated =D

It seems like you're just looking for folk music. None of the albums you mentioned are really metal (with the exception of The Mantle which can be argued as being metal).

Also, it's not instrumental if it has vocals.

Anyways, Ulver - Kveldssanger is the closest I can think of to what you mean. There's probably more I haven't thought of but, unfortunately, laziness gets the better of me.

(my favourites in bold)

I'd add Belborn, Orplid, and definitely Tenhi.

This probably isn't exactly what you're looking for, but I've really been digging it lately, so...

Eluveitie - Spirit

Has some intrumentals, most with vocals, roughly 50-50 mix of folk and metal instruments. Some songs are mostly folk, though. None are pure metal. Most folk metal draws on black metal, but this has more of a death metal influence...cool. They have a full time hurdy-gurdyist, so they're awesome.

Lots of good suggestions, thanks guys.

Oh, and I'm well aware that an instrumental doesn't have vocals...
