Band: Viikate

Viikate plays a mixture of metal, rock and finnish "rautalanka". Melodic guitars, good riffs and peaceful singing style with melancholic lyrics about rural angst. Might not be everyone's cup of tea, some might not even consider them metal as their sound is not very aggressive especially on the newer releases. I've labeled them folk metal, because they have elements of old finnish music, but don't expect them to be anything like what is normally considered folk metal (like Moonsorrow, Suidakra or Skyclad for example).
