  • ... that according to a music critic, the black metal album The Mercian Sphere is not folk metal, but close enough for "black metal purists" to reject it? Source: "European folk is a prominent influence on this 68-minute CD; Winterfylleth aren't quite a folk metal band in the way that Ensiferum, Korpiklaani, Eluveitie, Primordial, and Finntroll are folk-metal bands, but they aren't shy about incorporating traditional European folk influences, and that Euro-folk influence only enhances the musicality that they have to offer. Of course, black metal purists are unlikely to become Winterfylleth fans; what admirers of melodic black metal consider nuanced and intricate is watered down in the minds of black metal purists."

General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems

Hook eligibility:

  • Cited: No - There's an issue here; first, WP:ALLMUSIC says that AllMusic is reliable for reviews, but the hook claims that it isn't folk; whether it is or isn't folk is up for debate. If a claim like this is to be made, I'd suggest having multiple other sources reflecting these opinions.
  • Interesting: Yes
QPQ: Done.

Overall: Look above for issue with citation. -MyCatIsAChonk (talk) 02:15, 11 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the review! I have added attribution to both the AllMusic hooks, which should solve the problem, and added another alternative hook that isn't based on a review. Ffranc (talk) 11:10, 11 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Ffranc: Oh dear, thanks for pinging me; I didn't get a notif from your initial response, I think I need to fix my settings. Yes, it's all good now; sorry for the late response! -MyCatIsAChonk (talk) 14:17, 23 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
