more great viking/pagan metal bands

[genaatloos]

well im searching for good, brutal viking and battle metal.. does anybody know a great band? it is just i am searching a lot but most of the time the bands are battle metal. (not that i dont like battle metal..). So maybe it is easier to ask you guys for great bands.. i'm very impressed by THRONAR.. i think a few will know them. they make a mix of viking, heavy and battle metal and it sounds very nice, AND they are dutch.. so dont say the netherlands dont have great metalbands! so if you guys can help me..

oh.. the thread had to be 'viking/battle metal'.. doesn't really matter.. allthough its a great difference

and yes Thronar is great, je kan ook Heidevolk van Holland aankruisen of Mordaehoth ook van Holland, Wapenspraak & Drinkgelag, Theudho, Wanhoop, Garmenhord alle 4 van Vlaanderen. Laat me iets weten.

 

[The Bringer]

Check out Turisas. I just recently found them and love them!

How about Einherjer? They're more Viking than anyone.

And has anybody heard that Lord of the Rings metal band Battlelore? I saw a photo of them in Metal Maniacs and they look like the funniest band I've ever seen... one of them was an elf, one was an orc, etc. Curious as to what they sound like.

ik heb theudho geluisterd en dat was inderdaad erg goed!

i know turisas, i like them.. but only when im with friends or something..
when you have a very nice day and you are happy, then listen to turisas haha
moonsorrow and falkenbach are also great.. but falkenbach depends on the mood haha..

but thanx guys! any more suggestions? oh.. you should listen to mithotyn.. also viking/battle metal..very, very good

most of the time battle metal has a lot of influences from heavy metal and viking metal (or how most of the people simply say: death metal). But there are great parts of bombastic en symphonic chors, keyboards etc.
if you dont know battle metal.. you sure must listen to thronar! www.thronar.com

 

[TheLastWithPaganBlood]
