Raud-Ants (Iron-Ants) is an Estonian folk-metal band established in 2002. The mission of Raud-Ants is to promote Estonian old Kalevala-meter runo song tradition via contemporary rock music combining mostly feminine texts and tunes with hard-powered sound. Every composition of Raud-Ants is based on an authentic folk song: either on an archival record or a piece of living tradition. Alongside rock instruments traditional instruments such as 6-string kannel, violin and bowed harp are in use.
