Actually, Amon Amarth is Viking metal for more than just lyrical reasons. With Tyr it is debatable because they have no black metal influence.

Are Amon Amarth and Týr Viking Metal just because they sing about vikings? Actually, I don't think so. ;)

The label ''viking metal'' didn't develop to describe bands singing about vikings. It developed to describe a certain set of musical aspects: It's structurally like black metal but features melodic and rhythmic influences from nordic folk music and sea shanties, it's more ''clean'' sounding both vocally and instrumentally than black metal and focuses on creating an ''epic'' atmosphere rather than grim one. Listen to this track (Falkenbach - Heathen Foray) and you'll know what viking metal is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2UFtDA9T9gw This is the way encylopedia metallum uses the label, for example. If you think it's just about trivial sound differences it's better to just ignore it and use broader labels as navigation tools to find music. Even though the usefulness of the label's been (very) bastardised by people using it to refer to lyrics, it's still quite helpful to find or avoid musical traits, for those who cares.

@ToxicGriever [re: "Viking metal is melodic death metal?" - No. Viking metal is an offshoot of black metal.] -- I love most Scandinavian folk metal (i.e. "viking metal")and pretty much all melodic death, but dislike most black metal. I myself don't like to admit that there'd be no viking metal without black metal. I tend to ally my fave "viking metal" bands, like Tyr and Korpiklaani, with other subgenres that are not black metal -- in these cases power metal, I guess. Perhaps the person claiming it is all melodic death is like me: turned off by a lot of black metal and its associations. (I'm a gay Jew fer chrissakes. They probably have their reasons too.)

i think it is a genre, but not an big one, and that bands like Amon Amarth aren't viking metal: In my view, viking metal is slow and heavy, and focuses on Norse mythology and gods like Thor and Odin. Listen to Shores in Flames or One Rode To Asa Bay, and you'll know what i mean: that is not standard heavy metal, or black metal, or pagan metal. It's a blend of these things, called Viking metal.
