Can someone explain this to me? When I was a kid and listened to metal, we would've called this "pussy" and beat up the kid that liked it...

I wouldn't put Folk metal anywhere near "Viking" metal, if by that you are talking about bands like Enslaved, who are fantastic, and not goofy at all. There's just too much Polka in bands like Finntroll.Fintroll is FOLK metal. Yeah, kind of a joke in my world, but there are people who like it. THey're right up there with viking metal, Opera metal and other weird shit.

Now this, to me, sounds like something in between Dream Theater and Dimmu Borgir...Septicflesh (yeah, one word, whatever) has some symphonic stuff going on but is still very heavy, with a decent command of English even!
