Some notes:
The new Falkenbach is fucking awesome. It is more black metal oritented yes, which is a good thing.
The new Obtest is also awesome.
Buy them both.

That's definitely fair enough; it could have been when I listened to it (meaning, other albums with folk things going on bled into my brain). Dissection is really what I was thinking of, I guess it's that whole melodic mid-paced black/death metal thing (which is really similar to folk-influenced metal IMO).

oh hrm, I always assumed viking metal was bullshit like Amon Amarth
I do like most of these bands listed, maybe I don't have such a thing against it afterall.

Be still, O wand'rer!
Amon Amarth are a death metal band (with viking themes). You can dislike Viking metal and still like Amon Amarth.
Amon Amarth is groove-laden death metal, with viking themes, lyrics & imagery. *Most* viking metal incorporates a healthy dose of epic-styled songs w/ lots of native folk melodies, whether they be from Scandinavia, Germany, Ukraine, etc.

Good choices J, no surprise from you being so Graveland heavy though, lol.
Why is Turisas just for me?

thanks, I always just heard this music referred to as "pagan/folk/etc" and actually hadn't heard the viking moniker for this style until.. uh. this thread or maybe the last viking thread a few days ago.
and too many years of hearing "Amon Amarth" and "VIKING METAL RULES" in the same sentences had me thinking that there was a difference, and this viking-themed death metal was tr00 viking metal
I now feel relieved and welcome this thread with open ears.

It's right up there with me as well. Definitely worth a bump now and then when it starts dying down.

Is it that nobody has heard Samain - Indomitus or is it just disliked? I don't understand why nobody brings it up.

Taunusheim sound very German, nice band but not as good as...
Odroerir - Götterlieder
Listen to Weltenanfang
Mid-paced and actually not really metal at all. Some fat riffing now and again for the sake of it, but the bulk of the album consists of beautiful "fireplace" folk tunes based on the Icelandic poem "Edda". The album carries a deep and genuine feeling of sadness and the mixed choirs (male+female) are of unusual quality for the genre.
