Damn, I wish I could find some Bal-Sagoth other than "The Chthonic Chronicles". There's a band whose entire discography I'd like to own. 

I agree with that. They just talk about a lot of Viking themes in their songs.
Wait, I thought battle metal was a term to describe Axis of Advance-esque bands, or was that "war metal."
Either way a bullshit term.
I hate when people refer to Amon Amarth as viking metal. They are a melodeath band, and a far above average one at that. To me, viking metal is that folkish black metal with occasional clean vocals (Riger, Die Saat, Bergthron, Nachtfalke, etc.).
I know that no one actually thinks of battle metal as a true genre, though plenty of people do for viking metal.

All the ones on Nuclear Blast should be easy to track down, the older ones turn up occassionally (I remember landing a really cheap used copy of Starfire Burning upon the Ice-Veiled Throne of Ultima Thule, that was a find) although I'm having trouble finding the first one.![]()
cant wait for the new Turisas
