Viking pics?

[Dvoters]

Hey, I was wondering if any of you knew of a or several website where I can find dranatic pics/drawing of vikings? Ive looked everywhere, cant find.

I am looking for a good pic to put on a piece of grafitti I am working on at the moment

Also, what are some other Viking metal bands going around? I know of Thyrfing, thats it

\m/

 

[spaffe]

not to sure bout where to find viking-pics, try searching for "viking" or something like that on google.com picture-search.

but other vikingmetal bands worth checking out are moonsorrow and kampfar, kampfar aren't perhaps the most "viking" but their lyrics often deals with those things.

cheers

yea...just search under any engine...more likely google or excite cus they have seperate searches for pictures...."viking pictures", "vikings", "viking photos" and so on....till ya find something good.

About Viking-Metal bands, here are some you can check out:

Kampfar - As Spaffe said, not the most Vikingish band, but they do have some good stuff.

Windir - Great stuff!!!

Einherjer - One of the most famous Viking-Metal bands, in my opinion the albums "Far, Far, North" and "Dragons of the North" are two of the best albums ever!

Enslaved - Not really my cup of tea, but ok.

Hel - Swedish band, got some nice songs.

Finntroll - Not Viking, but has some nice "battle hymns"

Moonsorrow is the best viking metal band out there in my opinion. Try out:

Kylän Päässä
Aurinko ja Kuu
Sankaritarina

 

[Patric]

I like Moonsorrow, too. I dig the Finnish vokills.

 

[Aggressor]

How could I forget Moonsorrow...?

I really like them, but I always find it a bit annoying when Im not able to understand a single word of the lyrics...

[Patric]

I always listen to Primordial when I go to sleep.

Never heard of the band but after that interesting description I should check them out

 

[Aggressor]

You should, allthough I dont agree with PaganBlood at all, because I think Finntroll kicks ass!!!

 

[Patric]

Is it all symphonic and with that "folky" feel? I'll see with the money I've got left here (gotta invest in some new Destroyer 666, Edge of Sanity and Necrophobic too) hopefully I can spare some for these ummm excentric Finns

 

[Aggressor]

Yes its got thet "folky" feel, kinda like Thyrfing...
