Bagpipes and Metal

I am a fan of a lot of music. I enjoy most types of music. However I have a big soft spot for bagpipes and a lot of that folky sounding stuff. I love variety when done right. I've been looking into the folk metal / Celtic metal area for some time. A few bands really piqued my interest.

I'll start with a Finnish folk metal band called Korpiklaani. I've been listening to their stuff for a while now. Its always enjoyable. Great guitars and lots of variety. They feature instruments that I never knew existed. They also have a really energetic fiddle player. Aka violin :p
Definitely look into them if you like that folk Irish feel with the bad ass kick of metal mixed in.

Now I found another band recently. They hit that bagpipe sweet spot really well. They go by the name of skiltron. Its a really odd name. To make things odder I read they are from Argentina. They can play a mean bagpipes with some great guitar rifts. I love their songs. If you look into them I would recommend listening to the song: Fast and Wild. I love their sounds.
