"Celtic folk elements"?

[edit]

Can someone tell me where this conclusion was reached from? While I agree that there are some strong folk tinges on this album, it's mostly melodious, doomy death metal, but nothing about it struck me as particularily "celtic". If anything the similarity in melodies to bands like Demigod from Finland might indicate a Finnish folk influence. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.167.74.170 (talk) 06:41, 15 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I tought that "celtic folk elements" mostly equal the acoustical giutar/kantele-parts, (yes they use kantele on this one!) wich shares lot of similarities to celtic folk music and leads me to believing how worthy is classify this album as celtic metal. Listen to "Karelia"-'intro', "Warrior's Trail" or "Exile of the sons of uisliu" as few, if you want to know what makes TKI "celtic". Even though these acoustical parts are often drowned under the heavy doom metal-influenced guitar-riffs ( o.e Warrior's Trial's first doom-part after first verse), wich makes them hard to hear. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.112.28.234 (talk) 13:30, 31 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
