Dalriada - Zach Klara

While we're on the topic of non-English music, why not see what the metal genre has to offer?  Dalriada is a Hungarian melodic folk outfit, and they kind of sound like Arkona without the death growling, with a little bit of Epica to boot.  So naturally, I like it.  Hell, on their Facebook page they even list Arkona and Korpiklaani as artists they like, so this relationship is already off to a good start.

"Zach Klara" is definitely melodic, and catchy.  Vocalists Laura Binder and Andrew Ficzek battle it out over a cacophony of guitar work, with some help from the string sections.  The band is right in describing their sound as epic folk metal, as there's really no other way to describe what Dalriada does.  I can't say I know much about music that comes out of Hungary, but if it's anything like this, I may have to stop by for a visit in the future.
