Probably been mentionened somewhere but my band suggestion is Heilung. They are a band from Denmark that plays music from the ironage and viking age. They use everything from running water, human bone, reconstructed swords and shields, to old shamen drums. Song texts come directly from runestones or sacred objects, amulettes, etc. Texts can even include poems about historical occurances which are sometimes translated. Combined, it leads to interesting and beautiful music.
