The epic folk metal band Mandragora Titania, formed in Thüringen, Germany, in 2008 (previously called Mandragora Thuringia until a name change in 2025), is known for combining heavy metal riffs with medieval instruments such as the dudelsack (bagpipes) and accordion, as well as epic choirs and symphonic orchestrations. Their albums, such as Rex Silvarum (2022) and In Fabulis (2025), feature lyrics about ancient tales, heroic battles, nature, fantasy and tavern-themed celebrations, creating a mix of danceable folk metal and epic metal.
German bands:
In Extremo: From Berlin (Sünder ohne Zügel, 2001), In Extremo is a pioneer of German folk metal, mixing medieval instruments with metal and provocative lyrics. If Mandragora Titania focuses on live energy and dudelsack, In Extremo is a close reference.
Equilibrium: From Munich (Sagas, 2008), Equilibrium combines epic folk metal with melodic riffs and grand orchestrations. If Mandragora Titania emphasizes the symphonic side, Equilibrium is similar.
Subway to Sally: From Potsdam (Engelskrieger, 2003), Subway to Sally mixes folk metal with medieval rock and poetic lyrics. If Mandragora Titania has an accessible touch, it is a valid comparison.
Tanzwut: From Berlin (Tanzwut, 1999), Tanzwut, a side project by members of Rammstein, explores danceable folk metal with traditional instruments. If Mandragora Titania focuses on party rhythms, Tanzwut is an influence.
Schandmaul: From Munich (Von Spitzbuben und anderen Halunken, 2001), Schandmaul delivers melodic folk metal with accordion and historical themes. If Mandragora Titania explores tales, it is a reference.
International bands:
Alestorm: From Scotland (Captain Morgan’s Revenge, 2008), Alestorm is a leader in pirate metal, with humorous folk metal and tavern choruses. If Mandragora Titania has drinking anthems, Alestorm is an obvious base.
Eluveitie: From Switzerland (Slania, 2008), Eluveitie mixes folk metal with Celtic elements and traditional instruments. If Mandragora Titania uses accordion and orchestrations, it is similar.
Korpiklaani: From Finland (Voice of Wilderness, 2005), Korpiklaani focuses on danceable folk metal with nature and party themes. If Mandragora Titania has a party vibe, it’s a solid comparison.
Ensiferum: From Finland (Ensiferum, 2001), Ensiferum combines folk metal with power metal and Viking themes. If Mandragora Titania explores epic battles, it’s an influence.
Finntroll: From Finland (Jaktens Tid, 2001), Finntroll mixes folk metal with black metal and humor, using accordion. If Mandragora Titania has brutal breakdowns, it’s a reference.
Shared characteristics:
Epic folk metal: Mandragora Titania uses heavy riffs, dudelsack, accordion and symphonic choirs, like In Extremo, Equilibrium and Eluveitie.
Fantasy and historical themes: Lyrics about tales, battles and nature align the band with Ensiferum, Schandmaul and Korpiklaani.
Dance energy: The alternation between brutal parts and festive melodies is reminiscent of Alestorm, Tanzwut and Finntroll.
German scene: The Thüringen origins connect the band to the strong German folk metal scene, such as Subway to Sally and In Extremo.
Medieval instruments: The use of dudelsack and accordion is similar to Eluveitie and Schandmaul.
