Anyway, check out Melt Banana (awesome Japanese punk band). That's my newest recommendation, though I've been into them for a long time.
well in sum songs, yes they do uses lutes and flutes .

the main elvish feel is the vocalist. she songs like a really good opera singer and reminds me of the way i have always pictured Elvish Women singing or chanting over my childhood etc. this is reinforced by Arwin(sp?) from Lord of the Rings as well.(Night Wish r big Lord of the Rings fans, even dedicating songs to it. there music could make great LOFT music videos too).

i,m not really sure HOW 2 explain it better. i just know, having been obsessed with Fantasy from a very early age, it feels like Elvish Metal.
