Revision as of 08:18, 4 October 2014
This is a list of Viking metal bands. Viking metal is a subgenre of black metal and folk metal with a tempo ranging from mid-pace to fast, often accompanied with traditional nordic folk melodies and instrumentation. It is characterized by its chaotic and noisy sound, slow pace, dark and violent imagery, and lyrical themes of Norse mythology, Norse paganism, and the Viking Age. It was developed in the 1980s through the mid-1990s as a rejection of Satanism and the occult, and instead embracing the Vikings and paganism as the leaders of opposition to Christianity. Nearly all Viking metal bands claim to have Viking ancestry.
This is a dynamic list and may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help by adding missing items with reliable sources. Sven-Erik Lind of DrottnarSlechtvalk at OccultfestWarlord Nygård of TurisasHeri Joensen of TýrBand | Formed | Origin | Notes |
