This thread is a list of the forthcoming albums for the year 2011 concerning Folk Metal artists.

" TBA " means "to be announced".
" ? " means that I don't know if already released or not.
" X " means I don't know when it was released.

When a review made in Sword Chant, about material released in 2011, I add the review link in the list below.
