Týr


Týr is a Viking Metal band hailing from... the Faroe Islands? Where the hell is that? Regardless, these guys are some of the best Viking Metal I've ever heard, right up there with Ensiferum. Yes, they're playing in chainmail in the picture - that's how awesome they are. The band, in classic Opeth fashion, consists of two guitarists, one of which is their lead singer, one bass player, and one drummer. The band has released 3 albums so far, the best being Eric the Red, as well as two EPs.

Wintersun


An incredible one man project. Ensiferum's Jari Mäenpää decided to leave his former Viking Metal compatriots to focus on this side project after a conflict between recording times for one of Ensiferum's and Wintersun's album. Playing guitars, bass, and synth, as well as vocals ( session drummer Kai Hahto played drums for the album), Jari's genious has gone beyond the realms of wonder.

Twin Obscenity

Twin Obscenity is a Viking Metal band from the icy north of Norway. Viking Metal in some of its finest. The group contains fierce growls and beautiful Viking instrumentality.

If someone knows where I can find the "Bloodstone" album, I would greatly appreciate it.

Ensiferum


Ensiferum is a Viking/Folk Metal band from Helsinki, Finland. With their blazing distorted guitars and folk influences, Ensiferum... kicks ass. They're a must for any Viking Fan.
