Ensiferum – Ferrum Aeternum

Tue, 09/03/2010

The Finnish band Ensiferum makes loud folk/Viking metal, but they also occasionally take things a bit more relaxed. Ferrum Aeternum is an acoustic instrumental that is meant to air epicness fit for a movie. The song can be found on the band’s 2004 album Iron.

Kiuas – After the Storm

Mon, 08/03/2010

After a long hiatus, we have one for the acoustics category again. Kiuas is a Finnish power metal band. After the Storm is a nice acoustic track from their 2008 album The New Dark Age.

In Flames – Acoustic Medley

Wed, 03/02/2010

Another one for our Acoustics category. It’s from In Flames’ Black Ash Inheritance EP, released in 1997. Anyone with an acoustic guitar should attempt to play this. Though it sounds brilliant it’s not too difficult to play and so practicing this can be very rewarding. Listen to Acoustic Medley.

Thanks Wartecz!

In Flames – Metaphor

Thanks to Wartecz!

Heaven Shall Burn – Io

Mon, 01/02/2010

I’ve already shown some Heaven Shall Burn long ago. That was a particularly screamy song, but it turns out these guys can do sensitive acoustic stuff as well. Listen to their short masterpiece Io.

Thanks Wartecz!

A while ago I posted some Darkest Hour. Today I’ve come across a beautiful acoustic piece of their work. Should help you get to sleep. Listen to Pathos.

Opeth – In my Time of Need

Wed, 23/12/2009

OK, OK, it’s not actually fully acoustic. In fact, it’s mostly electric guitars you’re hearing. Still, it is a lovely clean song that best fits in this category! Opeth was already seen here before. Today I have the lovely, Pink Floydian track In my Time of Need lined up for you, from their 2003 album Damnation. Go read/watch!

Andy McKee – Drifting

Tue, 22/12/2009

Nope, this isn’t metal. Guy isn’t even a metal musician at all. He’s a very gifted guitarist though! Plays very beautiful acoustic songs, and in the end that’s what matters for this category! This is the song Drifting by American guitarist Andy Mckee. Go read/watch!
