more great viking/pagan metal bands

[DragonKeeper]

That must be a different band with the same name. The Gjallarhorn I'm speaking of is the one from Italy with Doomsword members. http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=37670

ah ok, yes...completely different band. the one i was thinking of is from sweden. sorry

 

[Mad Dog Ulfhednar]

No problem at all. I wouldn't be surprised if their weren't a few more Gjallarhorns floating around out there as well. Pretty common band name.

They come from lithuania and play some kind of Pagan/Heavy Metal (War Heavy Metal they call it) very good and individual! Not one of these Ensiferum or Koorpiklaani copies. Please check the Mp3's out:

There's an acoustic band with viking lyrics that are good - Griffin theyre called.

 

[Gjallarhorn]

The band Asatru is pretty good. Even though they used a drum machine at one point because they didnt have a drummer haha.

 

[Celtik Militia]

many awsome bands have a drum machine (unfortunately). cf Ad Hominem.

anyway, a cool folk metal band is TROLLFEST!!!
i believe they are norwegian, and they kind of copied the style of Finntroll but in even more folky and goofy, and yeah they are pretty good.

 

[DragonKeeper]

^ even goofier than finntroll? hehe i have to hear this....

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

Finntroll just "fired" their singer. I wonder why? They just had a very successful tour of the States, too...

 

[Volcano14]

^^^

cool, thanks!

 

[Celtik Militia]

Finntroll "fired" their new singer?? the one of Trollhammaren? or are you talking about the first singer? cause he wasnt fired he has voice problems or something. but perhaps you're talking about the new one.. well that was quick while it lasted.

 

[Bap]

thanks for the Radios -- i'm listening to the first link now. Its playing Baldur's Tod by Falkenbach (if you didn't know). Great stuff

he was literally just fired when they returned from their U.S. tour

 

[Chris_TeT]

what about bal sagoth? i`d say there fairly similar. Not sure what there classed as though

 

[Tomasz]

he was literally just fired when they returned from their U.S. tour

anyone know why, did he eat other's lunches?

 

[genaatloos]

bal-sagoth? they inspire a lot of bands.. they call their music 'bombastic baroque Britannic battle-metal', but their music is most of the time simply called symphonic black/death metal

 

[DragonKeeper]

true and they do have a "battle" theme

tomasz: he was probably fired over the usual squables about the direction of the band and such.

 

[Stygian Sins]

bal-sagoth?

ill have to check em out..

their name reminds me of ballsack for osme reason lmao
