Pokrovi Nebesnogo Startsa, by the Slavic Pagan metal band Arkona.
It starts out really brutal, then slowly phases in to more folk music, and then it's a beautiful mixture of the two. Plus we get a good dosage of both of Masha's singing voices.
It's about death on the battlefield; a dying warrior prays to the Slavonic god Veles to take him to the world of the dead.
I think this is probably one of the only good Folk Metal music videos out there. Masha (the lead singer) performing in the shadows just gives her this brutal mystique, even beyond what usually surrounds her when they're live. (I swear, I'd give BOTH kidneys to see this band live...)
Very metal.
