^ definatley great band.

im goin to see them dec 10th with COB and trivium.

I love the primal drumming in this band. It's like the underbeat surging beneath the noise. Masters of War is top notch.

Misfits, did you listen to them cause I said they were tr00 viking metal?

No i have a huge metal e-homie whos making me listen to a whole bunch of awesome stuff.

Folk metal = sex.

check out Finntroll

i'd give you a link. but i have none.

They're on Century Media records though.

I already know them

Thousand Years of Oppression is a grand song.

amon amarth are fooking amazing

An extra link cause I didn't want it to go to waste.

This is great. Easily my favorite metal album to come out in a year.

I'm gonna pre-order it.

Oden > you

Amon and Finntroll are cool but I also love Ensiferum, I have yet to find anymore that I like...

surprisingly I have yet to hear Ensiferum. Can anyone enlighten me?

Ensiferum is awesome - get their S/T. Some other folk/viking bands I like are:

Vintersorg
Ulver
Windir
Korpiklaani
Mithotyn
Agalloch
Wintersun (not exactly folk)
Finntroll
Arvinger
Uaral
Empyrium
Nokturnal Mortum
Skyclad

Or Iron, thats my fav

can you send an album?

I'll send you iron but I don't know the sites policy on uploading? if there against it post your e-mail or is it ok to just post a yousendit link straight onto the site?

lol we pretty much share everything with each other just post a link. You won't upset anyone important.

Ok I was asking cause on my forum tyou aren't aloud ot post it because technically it is illegal and the site could get in trouble, especially sice peopel kept threatning to report us.

Ill upload now.

There are bigger fish to fry than MusicBanter.

Well then here ya go

Thanks alot dude.

urrghhhh

I can't stand that kinda music... there's something about the screaming that gets me.

Actually its half screaming and half clean/Viking Drinking vocals, the clean are prettyy cool cause im not much of a fan of screaming wither but I love Jari Menpaa's scream for some reason.

Not only have I already heard them for several years, but I've also seen them live and own some of their albums.Yes, they're good.:beer:

I just ordered my first Ulver and Skyclad yesterday. Nokturnal Mortum is amazing. I've been wanting to check out Vintersong, can you send me some a couple songs or something?

Which cd?

Ulver varies too much from release to release lol

Bergtatt, I have heard some excellent things about it and I am a big black metal fun, so I decided to order it.

Bergtatt is an amazing album. If you are a fan of the more "mellow" BM, you'll love the album. Great choice...


in fact...


*puts on Bergtatt*

Ive heard a few tracks off "Fate of Norns." I like how the singer uses his metal voice, but still sings it, rather than just screaming incoherently. Of what I've heard, I like "An Ancient Sign of Coming Storm" the best.

^^^Listen to their album, 'Once Sent From the Golden Hall'. Absolutely awesome music, with stellar songs like 'Victorious March' and 'Friends of the Suncross'.

Yeah, Amon Amarth are my favorite Death Metal band. Their best albums are OSFTGH, The Crusher, Fate of Norns and Versus the World. Gods of Viking Death Metal.

Good, but not great. Stupidly over hyped and probably one of the weaker viking metal bands around. However, I'm a sucker for viking metal so it still catches my interest a bit.

One of my favorite band, and one of my bigger influences.

Pursuit of Vikings and Runes to my Memory are my favorites..... the latter I want played at my funeral. :)

Their DVD "Wrath of the Norseman" recently reached gold status due to number of sales.

No ****? How else would it reach gold?

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Anyways Amon Amarth are okay, but for my Melodic Death Metal I listen to Sentenced, COB, Kalmah, and Dark Tranquility.

haha. right.



My friend was playing "Pursuit of Vikings" to a few of his "friends," and one of them was this girl who likes roughly the same music we do, but she didn't know who Amon Amarth were. My friend says they are a melo death band whose themes revolve around vikings and norse mythology and blah blah, y'know the rest. She says, "Screw that, who'd wanna sing about vikings? They suck. Cradle of Filth is better."

It's stuff like "CoF is better" that just negates any argument.
