@TheHorrorAnthem wrong hav you aver lisend to the band ? way in hell do you thing thay wer tors hamer and call thom self viking metal lol go wiki and you se its trou sory for the bad englich got dyslexsia
now im no huge expert on melodic death metal or viking metal, but it seems like amon amarth is a combo and overall, a good band. this is just my opinion, but it could be pretty true
@wolfs9397 It's practically the same thing, it just depends from the lyrical themes and the elements used in the song. For example, Enlsaved uses lyrics that have to do with Norse Mythology just like the ones that appear in Yggdrasil, Jotunblod, Loke and many of their songs, while Korpiklaani generally endorses lyrics about Viking culture and their way of living, just as it is shown in Beer Beer, Hunting Song, Native Land and other songs. I hope this answer helps you distinguish the difference.
I like Eluveitie, but it amuses me that people who only seem to know them and about 3 other folk/viking/pagan metal bands all seem to freak out when they're excluded from a list.
Amon Amarth not viking metal? Why are so many people in agreement with that, because they dont sound like they are drunk in a tavern, or in the middle of a battlefield? They sing about vikings, they act like vikings, they play like vikings, and the their hairy beast of a vocalist runs around in leather pants and drinks from a horn he keeps on his hip.
@NiwaYuuma He said that? Well I get where he is coming from, but technically it is still Viking Metal. Death Metal abut Vikings by Vikings I guess. He is probably trying to avoid the label, I mean it is an extreme sub genre while Death is one of metals faces. But there is no denying Amon Amarth is full blown in the Viking category.
@TheHorrorAnthem The reason so many people agree with that is the fact that "Viking metal" is a specific sub-genre designation which is dictated by musical style rather than lyrical content. Amon Amarth, though awesome and Viking-as-hell in terms of lyrics and image, do not play that style of music. Just like how a power metal band that sings about machines is not an industrial band, a melodic death metal band that sings about Vikings is not a Viking metal band.
I agree with you. I guess they think that just because most of their music has Norse and Viking themes, does not mean that they are a Viking Metal Band. It's kind of odd. They still have one of the best dam viking metal music.
@TheHorrorAnthem If Amon Amarth wore corpse paint and sang about Satanism while having the same exact music as they have now, would you then say they are Black Metal simply because they have the same attitude and lyrical themes?
Amon Amarth are great but their music doesn't sound like Viking Metal, and why the fuck do they need to be Viking Metal anyway? They're awesome even under the Melodeath tag.
@TheHorrorAnthem "We play death metal. We write about vikings so, therefore, some refer us to viking metal, but I have no idea what that is. I can't imagine the vikings veer into metal at all except on the swords and stuff. And musically, I guess they only played these strange lip instruments and some bongos or whatever." -J.Hegg. sorry man, they don't play fucking viking metal
@6jack6metal6 haha I have gotten a lot of comments about my comment actually. I guess its all just whatever, I mean when I listen to Amon Amarth I hear melodic death metal, and it is about Vikings, so with the mood, theme, look and lyrics I called it Viking Metal. But it is not the same when I listen to TYR, that band is folky influenced viking metal, and Amon Amarth is Death Metal about Vikings. I have come to light on the the differences more so now. Regardless they rock.
Thanks man. This list helped me really get to know viking/folk metal a while back and now falkenbach is one of my favorite bands and I agree with you putting them on top.
Hail from Iceland
P.S. you should check out a great new Viking Metal band called Skálmöld or Skalmold.
These were good bands no doubt about that,but when youve got a video thats suposed to be the top 10 VIKING/Folk bands,and there isnt any TYR or Amon Amarth when they are arguably two of the best viking metal bands ever.its just not the same.dont get me wrong i did enjoy this and i do like a majority of these bands,this was good work
yea the only band i wouldve put ahead depending on the song you wanted to put on there for each wouldve been amon amarth falckenbach is a hell no for me
Why did you mix Viking and Folk metal. These are to Types of metal... You should made a Two videos, one with folkmetal, and second with viking. And Where is Amon Amarth And TYR? Both of theme are One of the most Epic Viking metal bands? What's wrong with you man?^^
