Folk here:

Early Ulver (Kveldssanger and, to a lesser extent, Bergtatt)

Rakoth--Jabberworks album has notable Tolkien + folk influences (it's black/doom metal w/ reasonably limited growls)

I guess there is a serious lack of folk and viking metal fans here. I really like Ensiferum, Amon Amarth, Wolfchant, Eluveitie and some more that I can't really think of ATM. Any one else?
