t’s nothing to do with Bob Dylan, that poser! In my clan, folk means more than guitar and harmonica: it is the incorporation of ethnic rhythms. And don’t you come here to tell me about cultural appropriation! From England, the song flourished in the super developed Finland and crossed borders inside the luggage of young musicians who poisoned the traditional musical genres of their birth places. In each territory, a different kind of sonority united by the glorious metal. The lyric themes focused on fantasy, mythology and nature, with the right costume design: warriors, pirates, elves and all sorts of elementals. I struggled to recover from the traumatizing vision of a satyr shaking his beard and playing air guitar with his Pan flute.
