After Vintersorg and Finntroll...

For those recommending Otyg, I think you ought to re-read the initial post...:p

Why? I see nothing about Otyg that flies against what he was asking for. It's the people suggesting Einherjer or other viking bands who haven't been reading his post.

Well this is what he didn't want : "ie, you can imagine them sitting around a roaring fire sculling pints of mead"

And I, and everyone I've ever played Otyg for has immediately gave me this visual description in one form or another.....Come on, you can't tell me you don't picture this when you hear the music??!:)
 
I have to admit, the one Otyg song I've heard made me think of longboats, horned helmets, and lager-soaked beards ;) Perhaps I need to hear more :)

BTW, I am not anti-viking! They look so cute sometimes! :p

Actually, I don't. I more picture things like seasonal festivals, or forests.

Enslaved, Borknagar. You should at least hear mithotyn (sp?), though are pretty viking. it's the guy who is doing falconer's old band. good stuff.

I think Einherjer is terrible stuff.

get bathory's hammerheart!

Ah! Thanks for mentioning Mithotyn!! :eek:))
They fit my mood perfectly right now!
I'm dead tired and have to go to work soon,
I'm ready to conquer the world! Uhm.... :eek:/

Oh well, anyone not minding viking-metal
should really check out this band!
This is the album I have listened to the most,
and like the best by Mithotyn;
"Gathered Around The Oaken Table"
