This thread is hereby summoned., only ever listened to Ensiferum on that list, but you really have to check out wintersun and eluveitie while your at it, along with some others i cant spell

Yes, it is fun and quite good to listen to while planning your next insane project to in DF. Just dont ever take it seriously like my friend. She is far too into it for her health and sanity.

[Helmaroc]

Heh, this kind of 'music' makes me laugh. 

[Deathbane]

  same, and this is my kind of music 

[Helmaroc]

I guess it's okay...but the whole thing with dressing up like vikings or something (not that any of these vids include such, but I've seen some...bleh) seems a little comic, people with often no connections to that type of culture trying to mimic it with speed metal...

[Salmeuk]

Anyone heard of Ayreon?

Not exactly folk metal, but the producer creates these amazing rock operas, with heavy metal elements + singing interludes.

From THE HUMAN EQUATION album, which gives a pretty interesting story about a man's journey through life.

And the obligatory wiki.

[Rooster]

I don't know what do you have against metal
I'm from a metal subculture you know...

No.

No.

NO. If you're going to attempt to ridicule a genre of music, atleast figure out what the hell you're talking about. The fact that most/all of these bands originally came from the Scandinavian countries is more than enough proof they've been influenced by Viking Lore, especially bands like Amon Amarth (though they hold out it's not 'viking metal', but metal with Viking influence).

[Earthquake Damage]

Amon Amarth  \m/,

Try to find pretty much anything from Therion's Secrets of the Runes album.  It has a good sound IMO.

[Hawkfrost]

Wintersun is freaking awesome.
Also, who takes Viking metal seriously enough to dress up like them?
I listen to everything from Bob Marley to Children of Bodom, from Red Hot Chile Peppers to Korn, and most everything that isn't rap and has a good sound.
If I dressed up like what I listen too, I would look like a explosion.

[Earthquake Damage]

You would look hilarious.  Do it!  And post pics!

[Helmaroc]

I'm sorry, you're right. I still think the idea is a little humorous, though. Nothing against those who enjoy it, and I agree that it would be appropriate to listen to while playing DF.

[Hawkfrost]

I would be wearing a dreadlock wig, a viking helm, spike bracelets and collars, hair down one side of my face, spiky on the other, rocker T-shirts, techno headphones, shades, tight and loose pants, and holding a sax.
Thats all I can think of right now.

[dizzyelk]

I usually listen to Einherjer while playing DF

[Salmeuk]

A bit of a necro, but can anyone recommend some good bands that have the style of these ones but are simply instrumental? I don't enjoy the singing as much as other genres.
