Viking Metal

[Mütiilation]

i was strictly a black metaler for a long time, got tired of limiting myself for no real reason, then went straight to power metal. An odd leap but i guess after a handful of years, sticking with strictly black metal made me crave something else. Regardless, at this point i listen to almost anything except horrible grind. I can't stand any grind, aside from maybe if you were to consider Carcass grind (which i don't.. well pre-carcass definitly wasn't) or Dying Fetus (i mean the kevin talley variety, without him the bands just not the same)

Lately though, i've come to the conclusion the best metal is Viking metal hah. You probably will disagree, but that'd be the point of a message board in the first place. Civil arguments and sharing of opinions.

bands i like that fall in this category (IMO):

Bathory
Einherjer
Falkenbach
Vintersorg
Lord Wind
Otyg
Morrigan
Amon Amarth
Enslaved
Moonsorrow

I think you get the point by now... Any others you care to share, list 'em. Or if you feel i'm a big bag of air, thou whilst now commence the bashing.
