Your Favorite Viking/Folk Metal Band

[With Strength I Burn]

Bathory's the best for me.

 

[Einherjar86]

Well, it doesn't get much better than Hammerheart. Have you ever listened to Einherjer?

Also, Black Messiah has a new record coming out. Surely, it shall be epic.

 

[Bitencourt29]

None better than Graveland.

True.

Listening to Dawn of Iron Blades right now

Bathory's the best for me.

yes, they are great, Have you heard Falkenbach, awesome band, Empyrium are just superb, Ensiferum, Finntroll ,Korpiklaani,

 

[Belligerent]

So lately I've been really enjoying Black Messiah. I only have their first two releases, but I'm looking into getting Of Myths and Legends soon.

Never heard of these guys before, i can usually count on you to post something worthwhile. Next i'll have to check if Northern Warriors has any of their stuff up.

The music of Ereb Altor is captivating. As is that of Mørkheim.
And Crom. Ragnarok is less folk metal.

I was just watching the hilarious music vid to "Iron Bound"
So, what's their best album?

 

[Einherjar86]

Lots of people disagree on their best record. I personally think that their most recent, Blot, is fantastic. I still need to give Norwegian Native Art a close listen, but I've heard good things. As for their first two, Dragons of the North and Odin Owns Ye All, I prefer the latter.

Start with Blot, if you enjoyed Iron Bound.

 

[With Strength I Burn]

Thanks, I'll give Blot a listen

The music of Ereb Altor is captivating.

That's very true. I'd recommend their album to anyone who likes Hammerheart and doom metal.

 

[Personified Hatred]

Einherjer
Bathory

 

[Eligos]

Thyrfing
Moonsorrow
Windir and the bands it fathered

 

[Belligerent]

Thanks, I'll give Blot a listen

you should

 

[Einherjar86]

Thyrfing
Moonsorrow
Windir and the bands it fathered

Absolutely. Windir's 1184 is killer. Thyrfing is underrated here. I wasn't blown away by their most recent, but Vansinnesvisor is incredible.

Moonsorrow is just awesome.

 

[With Strength I Burn]

Moonsorrow is just awesome.

The problem I have with Moonsorrow is that they sing in my native language AND I DO NOT LIKE THAT.

 

[Einherjar86]

Really? Why is that?

 

[With Strength I Burn]

In Finnish,yeah.

I dunno really, I just find english and pretty much every language that isn't finnish to sound a lot better and more fitting for music.
You who have english as a native language won't understand these things.

i never found einherjer very interesting. odin owns ye all was there best imo

 

[Bladezz]

EQUILIBRIUM! SO GODDAMN AMAZING

 

[Cythraul]

Einherjer is awful.
