Viking metal!!!

[rmorse]

Most Viking metal is some other form of metal (oftentimes folk) but the lyrics are about vikings...

It's stupid though because the lyrics are only one part of how to classify a band. If Britney spears sang about Vikings, she wouldn't be viking metal.

Amon Amarth isn't the only viking metal band, and certainly not the first, but I do think they are one of the only ones worth listening to.

If I listen to amon amarth it makes me want to sell everything I own, build a longboat, and go be a viking.
If I listen to other viking metal, it just makes me laugh.

Vikings are incredibly badass though, and the idea behind the music is awesome. Maybe the singer (more of narrator than anything) is just how I imagined vikings speaking, haha.
