Metal about Viking Mythology

[False Joe]

Yeah. The title.

Ala Amon Amarth and Manowar - Gods of War. Which I like despite peoples hatred of it.

 

[FenriR]

Einherjer?

TBH I doubt you'll get better than Amon Amarth.

 

[waif]

BATHORY!
Wait, mythology only? Still Bathory, but not as much so...

 

[False Joe]

Lol.

That's kinda what I feared.

Oh well, cheers for the suggestions lads.

Viewed on Internet Explorer you only see "Temporary Google search:", but in FireFox you see the proper "keyword search, in [category - artist, album, themes, etc.]" search bar

Unleashed
Enslaved

 

[Seditious]

personally I recommend from those search results: Wolfchant, Nomans Land, Einherjer, Falkenbach, Svartsot (uniquely 'death metal' sound compared to the others), Thyrfing, Mithotyn, XIV Dark Centuries (keyword 'vikings' on the last three)...but that's on a musical basis, I can't speak to the content itself.


other people will probably recommend Lumsk too, but I never liked 'em myself.

 

[Belligerent]

I second Enslaved.

 

[tagradh]

Enslaved are definitely my favorite.
Others (I'm probably wrong with some but meh) Borknagar, Ensiferum, Mithotyn, Moonsorrow, Runic, Thyrfing, Turisas, Windir.

 

[MasterOLightning]

Just get some old Enslaved.

 

[waif]

Turisas kind of suck...
not so much Viking mythology as general viking-y stuff, anyways...

 

[Belligerent]

Turisas for sure suck. But Thurisaz rule.

 

[genocide roach]

fuck you, turisas rules. whats with all the recent hate?!

anyways, theyre from finland so they obviously arent singing about vikings anyways.

how bout you read any of the 10 threads on viking metal. take that list and add unleashed (who is very hit or miss) and you should be ok

Burzum is technically Asatru, but a lot of people hate Varg cause he's a racist.

 

[genocide roach]
