Viking metal isn't actually a genre, but if you must label a band "viking metal" then that would be Thyrfing. [2]

You are right, Viking Metal does not exists as a genre, but I think there is a great "viking-movement" in the scene. There are interested listeners and musicians. So I think you can use viking metal as a tag.

"Why are so many Viking metal bands from Finland? Vikings never came from or really settled Finland." I don't think that lyrics about Vikings and everything should only be limited to Scandinavian people. Ok, it's their ancestors, but we're in a "free" world and musicians can pretty write about whatever the hell they want...

NSBM isn't a 'genre', simply a more detailed description for people who may be looking for or describing particular artists, much like the terms USBM or NWOBHM. And yes, actual viking metal is an evolution of black metal and I updated the description on this page shortly after making that post. Previously it read that viking metal was 'music with lyrics about vikings'. Seriously...I'm going to go listen to some space metal, or maybe motorcycle metal.

It sickens me to see another site trying to use the lyrical themes to describe the genre. Lyrical content never has, and never should, have any influence over genre. Viking metal was an evolution of black metal that is generally more complex and very folk saturated.

Sorry, I aint no "metal genre expert" (you guys have way too many genres btw), but Amon Amarth are clearly Viking Metal. Just look at their videos. And listen to their music....

Ensiferum and Korpiklaani is Folk Metal. Amon Amarth, on the other hand, is Melodic Death Metal. Bathory is the only artist (or band) I know of which I'd categorise as 'Viking Metal'.

Viking Metal exists :). Sometimes (almost always) is correlated with Black and Folk metal. But Viking Metal is an evolution of Black Metal, with slowed riffs, some clean epic vocals and a transformation of the musical structure. Falkenbach now is a sort of Viking/Folk Metal, but if you listen the firsts albums you can listen his Viking Metal era (You can say it's Black Metal, but it is really different). Myrkgrav and Nebelhorn are the classic fusion between Black, Folk and Viking Metal. It tells you who has more experience than you in that field :) .

Falkenbach is folk metal, as well as Myrkgrav and Nebelhorn. Bathory is black metal. Viking metal doesn't exist, it's a figment of your imagination.

Yes, I agree with Swed-Simon. There are a lot of people who don't know what is the really Viking Metal. Viking Metal, for example, is Bathory, Myrkgrav, Falkenbach, Nebelhorn.. not Korpiklaani, Ensiferum or Amon Amarth :)

So bands like Falkenbach don't exist all of a sudden? Viking metal is a type of mid-paced, bombastic metal with a galopping rhythm accompanied by dramatic (usually pseudo) orchestral keyboards. Most of the bands here are not viking metal bands but folk, melo-death or power metal bands that sing about vikings, then again it'd be dumb to expect anything from last.fm tags.

Yeeeaaaahhhh the non-existent genre, viking metal. How this genre ever came to be is surprising, and extremely ridiculous. Lyrical themes have NOTHING to do with the genre. >.> It also really pisses me off when I see bands like Equilibrium and Korpiklaani tagged as 'viking metal'. Sorry, but I fail to see what is so viking about these bands.

Amon Amarth is not viking metal[4]. and Korpiklaani, Equilibrium, Finntroll, Wintersun etc are not viking metal. True viking metal bands are: Bathory, old Enslaved, Falkenbach etc
