A mixture of black and folk metal, generally with lyrical content about vikings.



I love how on that metal sub genre chart, they put Cradle of Filth under Norwegian Black Metal, and yet Cradle of Filth are from the UK.

The idea of Viking metal makes me happy.

Stuff by Boris tends to transcend all those various sub categories of metal. So listen to cds by them if you are confused.

lol manowar in there little costumes

subgenres are confusing lets just forget about those and classify all bands "metal"

Look... It's simple! There's METAL and then there's all that other... stuff!

Yeah I know, and COF aren't even really black metal.

Also I like the subgenres because if someone puts Death Metal and Nu Metal in one genre I am going to kill myself.

Those colors should not be mixed. But each metal sub genre has something to contribute to metal as a whole, but no all metal shouldn't be place under one.

I think the sub-sub-sub genre's are a fun way to describe a particular band's music style.

As far as why metal wont be the dominant genre is because radio has made the general public too closed minded to enjoy the brilliant music that is being made outside of the mainstream.

Viking metal, blah.

Someone should invent SAMURAI METAL!!!!

that would be badass.

Does anybody have any Pirate Metal? Yarrrr!
