The New Wave of Folk Metal!

Hailing from Switzerland, they are the best, or at least one of the best, celtic/folk metal bands in existence. They combine the harshness of melodic death metal with the beauty of traditional Celtic instruments such as the "Hurdy Gurdy" (or wheel fiddle). The result is something every metalhead or music-lover should listen too!

They are unique among folk metal bands because neither the metal or folk aspect of their music dominates. They even have a few purely folk songs such as Omnos and Isara.
Eluveitie is a kick-ass folk metal band!

May 22 Word of the Day
A moment that is generally agreed to have had a significant influence on pop culture and everyday life. While the term was coined by Rose McGowan in context of the #MeToo movement, and is mostly associated with the K-pop community, the phenomenon is universal and a basic component of how culture works.

Real world events such as social/political movements, the election of a new U.S. President, major catastrophes and disasters, as well as entertainment such as movies, music and TV, can all function as cultural resets. Notable cultural resets in relatively recent memory include:

* The Beatles appearing on the Ed Sullivan show in 1964
* The Watergate scandal of 1974
* The release of Nevermind by Nirvana in 1991
* The September 11, 2001 attacks
* The election and inauguration of Barack Obama in 2009
* The COVID-19 pandemic
"The Nineties politically started with the fall of the Berlin Wall on November 9, 1989 and the Soviet Union dissolving on December 26, 1991, and ended with both the 2000 Presidential election which saw the victory of George W. Bush and the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 which left people so stupefied that it functioned as something of a cultural reset button." - TV Tropes' article on the 1990s
