Folk metal

Folk metal is a kind of music that is a mixture of two things – metal and folk music.

Metal music is loud and high energy, with lots of heavy guitars, pounding drums, and sometimes screaming. It's like the music you hear in action movies when something really intense is happening.

Folk music is a type of music that comes from different parts of the world. It's usually played on instruments that sound like fiddles, accordions, or bagpipes. It's the kind of music that people dance to at festivals or in traditional celebrations.

So, when you mix metal and folk music together, you get folk metal! Folk metal bands usually have an electric guitar and drums for the metal sound, but they also use folk instruments like fiddles, flutes, or bagpipes to give the music a special sound.

Some folk metal songs are about fairy tales or stories from long ago. Others might talk about the environment or nature. But all of them have a really energetic and fun sound that makes you want to dance around like crazy!
