Folkearth is an international music project created in 2003 by musicians playing folk and viking metal. The name (folk + earth) symbolizes musicians from all over the world playing folk music.〔 So far, a total of eight full-length albums have been released, with the most recent being ''Minstrels by the River''. == History == The history of the group began in February 2003 when the idea for creating a project which could unite musicians from different countries who play folk and pagan metal originated from some musicians. ''A Nordic Poem'' album was released in 2004. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url = http://www.truemetal.org/holysword/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=171 )〕 Because of the bad quality of this record, the band decided to remaster and reissue their debut.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url = http://www.myspace.com/folkearth )〕 On 2006-09-01, shortly after the reissue of ''A Nordic Poem'' the second album titled ''By the Sword of My Father'' was released. Many bands, such as Van Langen, Thiasos Dionysos, Hildr Valkyrie, Death Army, The Soil Bleeds Black joined Folkearth in the production of this album, so the total line-up consisted of 31 musicians from 8 different countries. Folkearth's album ''Drakkars in the Mist'' was released 2007-05-28〔 with the biggest lineup then to date. More than 30 musicians worked on the 4th album.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url = http://www.metalglory.de/interviews.php?nr=466 )〕 However, a token performance on a single track will list someone on the booklet as a full-fledged member.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url = http://www.deadtide.com/reviews/albums/page.php?id=4129 )〕 The band members also don't make money out of the project, and do not promote it, probably because of the lack of funds.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url = http://www.rockpages.gr/detailspage.aspx?id=788&type=1&sub=%20&lang=EN )〕 Because of the musical project's complex structure, Folkearth has not performed live, and it's unlikely they will perform live in the future.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url = http://www.fourteeng.net/interviews/folkearth.html )〕 On 30 June 2013, the founder and leader of the band Ruslanas Danisevskis (Metfolvik) died after battling cancer. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Folkearth」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
