Arkona sign to Napalm Records

Napalm is just trying to 'compete.'

Some reason pagan/folk metal is taking off and labels are grabbing what they can.

I honestly think it has a lot to do with Turisas's Rasputin.. which is kind of ironic.
Napalm's been representing viking/folk metal for quite some time now, Kampfar, Korpiklaani (formerly), Vintersorg, Tyr, Asmegin and many others. I'm pretty sure they've been signing bands like this before it got extremely popular, but I'm no expert on their band roster timeline.

Anyways, I'm very glad about this news! Arkona is a band that I really enjoy and I'm glad that they will be getting stronger representation and distrobution.
