Editor's note

Metsatöll's folk metal draws from Estonian mythology.

A Tallinn band that blends heavy metal with traditional sounds and didgeridoo.

For a good sense of their style, check out "Türgi Sõja Laul" or "Koduhiite Kaitsel." They frame the band's mix of traditional sounds and metal energy pretty well.

They formed in 1998 with a sound that pulls directly from Estonian mythology, using instruments like the didgeridoo to give songs like "Türgi Sõja Laul" an unusual texture. Their early work touched on pagan and nationalist themes, but they built a following by focusing on music tied to the landscape and stories they referenced.

Metsatöll started with their debut album "Terast mis hangund me hinge" and followed with records like "Hiiekoda" and "Ulg." They kept working without much fuss about early controversies, and songs like "Vaid Vaprust" became staples for listeners drawn to their blend of folk and metal.
