Orkrist

I'm really not sure what genre to label Orkrist. I've seen some instances where people called them Medolic Black, some call them Doom, but I sense some Folk or Power influences. So I'm gonna call them Folk/Viking, leaning towards Power, and be done with it.

These guys (and one girl) hail from Slovakia, of all places. Themed off of Lord of the Rings (the name Orkrist is a play off of Orcrist, meaning Goblin-cleaver), these guys play a good folky metal, with a flute adding nice melodic elements in the foreground. Great growling and nice female vocals add a nice touch.

The band is officially split up.
