Post great music that's not in English

[Dango]

Does this [http://www.colbertnation.com/the-colbert-report-videos/182950/may-10-2007/he-s-singing-in-korean] count?

I think it counts.

Sigur Ros is an Icelandic band, and I'm sure someone has already posted them somewhere. Here's my favorite song by them, "Saeglopur"

 

[kiwisushi]

Lots of Turmion Katilot around. It does seem it is mainly the metals out there in different languages, which is fine and all.

Try this one out ... Spanish Ska punk legends Ska P!

Would love to find some welsh language metal mind, if theres gaelic around, there should be welsh right?

 

[Scizophrenic Llama]

Dat bouzouki solo.

Sadly that is about the only song that pops up from him, would be nice to hear more.

 

[Ickorus]

Spoiler: Sigur Ros

A lot of the music I listen to is made by people of different languages other than english but most of it also has no lyrics in at all.

 

[Jamboxdotcom]

Since i never get tired of trying to expose more people to Einstürzende Neubauten...

Spoiler

*edit* decided to replace ZNS with Yu-Gung, since it's a little bit more accessible.

Haus der Luege (House of Lies) is one of their most famous songs, and in my opinion, one of the greatest songs ever written.

Befindlichkeit des Landes is a more recent song, and is much softer and more melodic than their earlier stuff.

Oh, and in case you couldn't tell, they're German.

 

[Nazz3]

All of these are in Finnish:


And these guys are actually Russian but they sing in Finnish:

moonsorrow, swedish folky metal

No, they're Finnish and the best band in the universe.

Fuck yes

I really like this Akvarium song (among others): "Gorod Zolotoj" (Golden City), which is Russian.


For something rather less chilled out, I'll go with the Belarussian Metal band TT-34's "Dzha":

 

[SweetNess_666]

Err Rammstein is the only band I can think of. I like quite a few Swedish and Finnish metal bands but they all sing in English so, yeah, Rammstein

Agreed rammstien ftw

Just so that you don't get the idea that Icelandic is anything like that stuff Sigurrós is spreading like crabs.

love it...

I've got quite a few foreign bands in my library.

It's Nightwish featuring some Finnish singer named Jonsu. I can't understand a single word, but I love it.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kaizers Orchestra is a Norwegian band that my High School's Norwegian foreign exchange student showed me. Also, the singer kinda looks like Derek from Step Brothers.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dir En Grey is a Japanese Visual Kei band and this song's video is so messed up and I've been told that the lyrics aren't all sunshine and candy either.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Another Japanese Visual Kei band named Versailles. This one isn't a music video, but its probably my favorite song (other than Masquerade which only has a preview on Youtube right now). Their clothing is fantastic and the music is great. Here's the preview for their Masquerade video so that you can see them:
[sub]Disclaimer: The members of this band (Komijo, Hizaki, Yuka, Teru, and Masashi) are all guys. Just a friendly advisement for some insecure folks before they start fapping to Hizaki[/sub]

 

[katsumoto03]

I believe this is in Russian. It was on the GTA IV sountrack, that's how I heard of it:


I believe this is German... It's a damn good song:


EDIT: No idea how I could have forgotten about this song:

 

[Danny91]

An awesome Afrikaans band from South Africa
