I think the only band I've heard of that fits the description of folk metal is Korpiklani(sp) but I never really heard them just heard OF them. I never thought of Alamaailman Vasarat as folk metal. That's news to me.

Moonsorrow is (on at least one album) very progressive and (on all albums) very folky black metal. You can check out Moonsorrow's page on ProgArchives and read about their albums. I highly enjoy the overall aesthetics, not too abrasive and extreme, and not too "cold". Despite the band name, it's music suitable for listening at any time, day/night/summer/winter you name it.

One Moonsorrow album is particulary progressive, just look at the epic track lengths:

Lugubrum are also worth a mention, they're not on PA but they're
possibly the world's only Captain Beefheart-influenced black metal group. The band's lyrics and general concept is strongly rooted in Flemish regional folklore and cultural identity.
