| Viking Metal!
It recently ocurred to me that I really don't have too many viking
metal albums. These are my five favorites that I own, please
recommed more! | | 1 |  | Enslaved
Blodhemn
I just got this today, and I can already say that this album is incredible. Maybe my favorite Enslaved
album I have. Unlike their more recent stuff, this album is mure, heavy, straight forward black/viking
metal with a bit of a thrash touch. The title track and "An Eye For Mimir" or some fantastic cuts. Will
review this within the week btw. | | 2 |  | Bathory
Blood Fire Death
Perhaps the pioneer of the genre, despite horrible production, this album paints fantastic scenery and has
some inanse shredding. | | 3 |  | Amon Amarth
With Oden on Our Side
Maybe the ban'ds best album. Not much to complain about here, everything is very solid. The first two
tracks are my personal favorites. | | 4 |  | Amon Amarth
Versus the World
Rivals the previous album for the band's best. It has their best song imo, "Thousand Years of Oppression."
Once again, fantastic death metal. | | 5 |  | Amon Amarth
The Avenger
Back in the band's faster, more technical era, this album is definately the best. It's 35 minutes of intensity,
and never really lets up. | |

10.02.07 | No Ensiferum... :( | Yazz_Flute
10.02.07 | Yeah, I don't have any of their albums. I've been meaning to look into them cuz I love wintersun. Whicha blum would you recommend? | BallsToTheWall
10.02.07 | After the review of the play... Pirate Metal owns Viking Metal First down and 10 on the 40 yard line. I still enjoy viking metal though, I havent heard 1 but 2,3,and 4 slay. WINDIR bro??????? | Crysis
10.02.07 | Buy Ensiferum.... either their self-titled or Victory Songs... Iron is great too, oh fuck it, buy em all. Iron has my favorite song by them though, "Into The Battle". | Yazz_Flute
10.02.07 | Okay, so i'll look into ensiferum when my bday comes then I guess.
I'm listening to 5 now, I forgot how awesome it was, might actually be better than the rest of Amon Amarth's discography, really. I should review that too as it doesnt have any reviews... | Zoo
10.02.07 | Needs Moonsorrow, Windir, and Catamenia. | Mikesn
10.02.07 | Yeah basically what Crysis said, though I'd probably go for s/t first. | Zoo
10.02.07 | Despite how much effort I put into trying to like Ensiferum, it just didn't happen. Perhaps I listened to the wrong stuff.
On a side note: Balls, what the hell is pirate metal? | BallsToTheWall
10.02.07 | Dude check out South of heavens journal. He knows some kickass pirate metal. | Zoo
10.02.07 | Holy shit and a half, Running Wild is fucking crazy. Dude, check that out. | BallsToTheWall
10.02.07 | Alestorm, check them out. I already added them on my space. Only 1 song so far but sick. | Zoo
10.02.07 | I actually did and I wasn't impressed. Running Wild owns them. | BallsToTheWall
10.02.07 | I have faith in their new album, just like Soilwork. | Tyler
10.02.07 | List lacks Viking Metal. | Dethtrasher
10.02.07 | Try Mithotyn, a folk/viking band. Not in the same league as Amarth but you will probably like them. Get ''King Of The Distant Forest''. | Eakflanderyof
10.02.07 | Cocaine, could you please explain to me how Amon Amarth isn't viking metal? I'm just curious. | Tyler
10.02.07 | I'm considering Viking Metal as a genre. Amon Amarth are basically just Death Metal with Viking lyrical themes. It's just a personal preference/interpretation of the genre. |
