Album Notes & Community Reviews

Serving as the final album to feature founding frontman Martin Walkyier, the British folk metal pioneers deliver a sharp, highly politicized record. 'Folk茅mon' successfully balances traditional thrash-metal riffing with prominent Celtic fiddle melodies. Characterized by Walkyier's biting, sarcastic socio-political commentary, the release is a vital, energetic endpoint to the band's most influential era.
