Albion England, UK
Albion is an archaic name for Great Britain used by classical scholars to refer to this cold and wet island. Some 2000 years
later in 2019, four young whippersnappers dug up the ancient term to use as the name for their new band.
At the foundation of this project would be the preservation and exposure of traditional folk music, but presented through the modern medium of metal and rock.

Sleep at the Edge of the Earth
by Wilderun

I never cared about symphonic metal at all. I do very much care about folk as well as progressive metal, and so I couldn't resist after reading the third exceptional AMG review for Wilderun in a row. 'Sleep...' has been on my radar for quite some time, being graced by one of the most beckoning cover arts I have ever seen. The band more than lives up to its reputation, composing great musical pieces from start to finish. I absolutely love the multitude of influences being put together here.

Unique flavour of prog/folk/metal. I don't even care about the classification at this point.
