I'm not to familiar with the genre accept for the band Amon Amarth can some one fill me on more viking metal bands.
dEaThToFaLsEmEtAl34 said:Viking metal like gore metal is a genre solely based on lyrical content and isn't really based on the actual sound of the band so should therefore not even be considered a genre.
Ex-cally-boo said:Wrong. It isn't based upon lyrics, because if that were true, then Amon Amarth would be considered Viking metal when they arn't.
Viking metal has a rather distinctive sound, which can easily be heard, without much folk influences in Thyrfing and Ancient Rites.
