 | | Folk metal bands often have no commercial success in the country of their origin, whilst at the same time being considered a huge band commercially in other countries. |
 | | Examples of this are the Northumbrian folk metal band Skyclad, who have had no success in England, but lots of followers in continental Europe and South America, or Celtic Metal band Cruachan, who have had no big successes in Ireland, and yet are a hit in Russia. |
 | | The proponents of folk metal are undoubtably Skyclad, but the genre wasn't really popularised until bands like Cruachan, Otyg and Windir in the mid to late 90s. |
