Oh and no one mentioned Amorphis when speaking about Finnish bands that might fall into "pagan" category. They are definetly not folk metal, but lyrics are often about Kalevala. Might be the best band continuously using that kind of theme. Amorphis is as far as I will go in this genre.
Mostly when I think of these pagan/folk metal bands I want to puke. Goddamn annoying folkish major scale songs, it's hardly even metal. Chorus with violins and all that crap makes me wan't to hang myself.. Sadly many internationally recognized Finnish bands are pagan/folk metal (and fucking Nightwish -.-). I must heal my brain and listen to Amon Amarth (damn Swedes...) to get that folk metal thought out of my head aaagh.
Maybe this situation requires Burzum and Mayhem too...
