Empyrium has a neofolkish German-language album entitled "Weiland" out. Not entirely to my tastes, but it's decent for background music.

Epica is a symphonic metal band that sometimes has black metal vocals thrown in
They have a lot of Latin in their songs which gives it a rather ominous Carmina Burana/Damien Omen sound. Nightwish (symphonic power metal) has some songs in Finnish, not enough sadly. Leaves Eyes (symphonic metal) has some songs in Norwegian and I think German. They are all beautiful melodic pieces though, not their harder stuff. But I think you'ld have to be dead to not get goosebumps listening to this stuff Here are some links and lyrics... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cf_WOjG4ts4 Ankomst I glitrende solskinn Et landskap som våkner Vi seiler inn mot havnen Hjem til deg i dine armer En historie å fortelle Ankomst ankomst gi meg havn Ankomst ankomst åpne din favn La dine sorger hvile i havet Et sted mellom nord og sør Vinden synger de evige toner En sage å fortelle [English translation:] Arrival In the sparkling sun A landscape waking up were sailing in towards the harbour [port] Home to you in your arms A story to tell Arrival, arrival give me a harbour [port] Arrival, arrival open your arms Let your sorrows rest at sea Somewhere between north and south The wind sings the eternal notes A saga to tell http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pHTIy0Rl3JI Lyset Lyset er evig Lyset er livet Gjennom årtusener Gjennom vegger Avskjed fra dypet Avskjed fra mørket Sol, stjerner, måne Evige fakler Lyset er vakkert Lyset er veien Gjennom stormer Gjennom kriger [English translation:] The light The light is eternal The light is the life Through the millenniums Through the walls Farewell from the deep Farewell from the dark Sun, stars, moon Eternal torches The light is beautiful The light is the way Through the storms Through the wars Edited by ChiaBrain on 15 May 2009 at 2:55am 1 person has voted this message useful | |

The Norwegian band Glittertind has clean vocals in all of their songs, meaning you can clearly understand the Norwegian vocals. They're folk metal and definitely worth checking out!

I'm sensing a theme here: most of the bands who choose to sing in their own language also happen to play folk metal. Not exactly my thing, but that's mainly for lack of exposure. I'll have to look at all those Polish bands, looks more my thing. Also, I didn't know Behemoth were Polish...

I find the lack of Burzum, Darkthrone (Transylvanian Hunger), and Enslaved (Hordanes Land and Vikingligr Veldi) in this thread disturbing...
I recommend: Mystic Forest (French) Ildjarn/Sort Vokter (Norwegian) Novembre (Italian) 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I wasn't aware that Darkthrone did non-English lyrics. I've got Burzum-Aske, which is unfortunately all English, but I'll look at his Norwegian stuff too... I just find it slightly creepy listening to a neo-Nazi Murderer...
I shall also look at the others you mentioned. Thanks! 1 person has voted this message useful | |

No one has mentioned Dimmu Borgir or Satyricon! I know Satyricon is Norwegian black metal and Dimmu Borgir is Norwegian black metal as well. Look for "Stormblast" from Dimmu Borgir and any of Satyricon's older cds. Actually, Satyricon may be Finnish. At least some songs. Look at "Skygeddans" and "Forhekset" for songs.
