pagan metal bands

by HellHammer • 6 Feb 2008, 14:34 • Journals
im in a really pagan/viking metal loving mood right now (!). so does anyone know any decent bands that sound similar to this (for example). (Himinbjørg - Europa (2005) - Daily Desillusions)?

Hehe good for you then, I just realised you don't want only viking but pagan too so try some Skyforger, Falkenbach or Nepauz-Had

Well myspace profile only, but I've heard their older stuff and it's more pagan than stuff they put on myspace. But this thingy is nice too imo. Very Naglfarish and I like this kind of music ofc if no one uses too much synthesizer.

Pick me, pick me!
I know a number of viking/pagan influenced metal bands, what ones do you already know?

Also, there's a few listed here
You'll also get a few NSBM bands that are pagans/influenced by old norse/slavic mythology, but I don't know if you'd listen to them :)

No Ensiferum? :{ my fav band :D

Moonsorrow!! Ragnarok, Kromlek.
I'll try think of more in a bit that's not already mentioned :>

Also, I'd recommend Tim Severin's Viking trilogy books, mostly based on Viking sagas/old Norse mythology, but with added tales,people stories to make it more interesting to read o/
