Well, we already have Greek, Slavonic and Viking categories (I think) and inspired by the comment about Corvus Corex in the Greek section......
this section is for the groups inspired by the Celtic world.

So aside from the aforementioned Corvus Corex....whose members include Keith Prodegy II and long haired Celts playing Carnyxes, drums and pipes... and I just discovered they also use a Kithara....!

Omnia are 'Green' NeoCeltic Pagan Folk that sounds almost reminiscent of Clannad's Robin of Sherwood music at times......This is the video of Morrigan they can rock too, as you will start to hear when you reach the 3.36 mark.....!!!

This is Eluveitie....in 'heavy' mode and dressed fairly conventionally ...The music video is Of Fire,Wind and Wisdom
They take their name from the Helvetii tribe of Switzerland, where they come from and have recorded some tracks in the ancient Helvetian language.. The intro song on the website sounds rather like another Celtic inspired band I used to love a few years back ....Skyclad...wait until the end and you will hear the ancient Helvetian...!

Skyclad....not the same now, the original singer Martin Walkyier left...
my alltime favourite Skyclad track was their cover of Thin Lizzy's Emerald.... with Martin....not an awfully good video..
More to come.......

Greetings,
just discovered a rather good band from Hungary called Echo of Dalriada.......
The music is Celtic/Hungarian/Medieval/folk-metal with touches of Steeleye Span in the vocals......sung in Magyar (I assume)... but sounds great...! The band call their sound Epic folk-metal..!
You can download some of the songs from the Discography section on their website
Echo of Dalriada Language choices are Magyar or English....
They are worth checking out.....!
regards
Arthes

Not really sure where these fit in.....
Schelmish are from Germany and range from a style similar to Corvus Corex through Ambient and folk metal to....Der Letzte Kuss
I like this and look at those instruments .....!

Website only German version is working

cruachan is also a good band

Greetings Josef,

I used to like Skyclad when Martin was with them....I was included in some video filming years ago, sitting with the roadcrew, but haven't seen it...I had the first video they did, but an 'ex' pulled it apart.. :x
I personally think their version of Emerald is better than Thin Lizzy's, which is saying something.....one of my favourite songs.
I don't think they have quite the same appeal now... :?

Yes, I also like their sound, iv'e only recently heard about them ...
