Editing Kalevala (section)

====Folk metal====
A number of [[folk metal]] bands have drawn on the ''Kalevala'' heavily for inspiration. In 1993, the Finnish bands [[Amorphis]] and [[Sentenced]] released two [[concept album]]s, ''[[Tales from the Thousand Lakes]]'' and ''[[North from Here]]'' respectively, which were the first of many ''Kalevala''-inspired albums that have followed since. Amorphis's 2009 album ''[[Skyforger (album)|Skyforger]]'' also draws heavily on the ''Kalevala''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://metal-invader.com/interviews/Amorphis-2007-08-20/interview.php|title=Metal Invader – Amorphis interview|access-date=22 August 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100203102038/http://metal-invader.com/interviews/Amorphis-2007-08-20/interview.php|archive-date=3 February 2010}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://amorphis.net|title=Amorphis official site|access-date=22 August 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100821081621/http://amorphis.net/|archive-date=21 August 2010}}</ref> The Finnish folk metal band [[Ensiferum]] have released songs such as "Old Man" and "Little Dreamer", which are influenced by the ''Kalevala''.
