Finsterforst, meaning “Dark Forrest”, is a epic folk metal band formed in 2004. In December 2006 Worldchaos Production signed Finsterforst to their label and released the bands first LP. Finsterforst is:
Marco Schomas- vocals
Simon Schillinger- guitar
David Schuldis- guitar
Tobias Weinreich-bass
Cornelius Heck- drums
Sebastian Scherrer- keyboards
Johannes Joseph- accordian
Finsterforst showed great promise from the start of their career as, posed to be the ‘next great folk metal band’. 2009’s “…zum Tode hin” was a highly anticipated by the horde of folk-fanatics I know, and did not disappoint. Clocking in at over an hour, “…zum Tode hin” is a five track melodic, folky, mash up, masterpiece. I don’t know what else to tell you- go buy their discography. For fans of: Wolfchant, KromleK, and Finntroll.

I actually spent quite a bit of time translating their lyrics from German to English (okay, so google translation did), but they are absolutely astounding! Layers of depth!!!
You should post the translated ones to this song.
