I've been into folk metal for 7 years now...(and I'm 17 lol) but really... when I listen to this I wonder why people listen to Slipknot... folk metal sounds epic and is epic... slipknot is well, let's say I heard em live and it was like hearing a squeeling pig
What's the exact definition of "pagan bands"? Are they bands that have European influence or bands that sing about pagan themes? Are bands like Samael and Sentenced pagan bands?
do you know wat pagan is ? im not sure bout immortal but amon amarth definatly are pagan... yes there death metal but there lyrics are pagan the band members are pagan and with pagan theemed music that classes them as a pagan band. blessed be)O(
Yes I think I know what pagan is...but i don´t want to discuss such things with another metallhead. You think it's pagan, i don't think so.....i don't really care what they are playing it's sounds good andthat matters....but i still think they're pagan ;)
@DethmetalUSA Maybe you recognize that 5 bands out of 10 hail from Finland. Nordic, Yes, but not exactly Scandinavian as far as we ourself consider in Finland.
Don't forget HEDNINGARNA. You wouldn't even have Darkvolk in Sverige without them. I would put them in the Top Spot. and Gamarna 2... But good list for Pagan meTal.
Good compilation, just a note though - your 'Gjallarhorn' image isn't the same band, the one you want is for the album called 'Sjofn', if you want to do an image search on google :)
hy, i know Heidevolk, and yes, i like their music too! i should make another list coz there are many more bands i like... keep on fighting lil dutch girl
Out of curiosity, which album is your favorite of each band? Out of all of those, I've only ever heard Gjallarhorn, Thyrfing, and Moonsorrow, so I'm probably gonna look into the others, and was wondering what you'd recommend. :)
thanks for your interest... my fave albums are moonsorrow - verisäkeet, windir - arntor ein windir, thyrfing - vansinnesvisor, bathory - twilight of the gods... you should try some of them.
Maybe this should be called the top ten HEATHEN bands. Cause this is mostly centered on Norse folk stuff...where's the Celtic? Or even Lithuanian or Roman?
The song is f***ing awesome I know, it#s called "Ångestens högborg" from the album "VANSINNESVISOR", I like that song big time! maybe the best fiddles in pagan music ever...
Italian Gjallarhorn made Nordheim album, they're not Finnish. But I guess you did mean Gjallarhorn from Sweden. Anyway, nice video and long life to Falkenbach!
oh yeah that was my mistake, i didn't pay much attention to the pics, but i mean the finnish gjallarhorn, they are of the small group of swedish speaking finns, so in fact they are from finland.
I love Moonsorrow too!
And they sing in Finnish! I consider it a definite advantage :)

I love Finntroll, so happy and jumpy hihi.
Went last year to Korpiklaani concert that was awesome.
Gjallarhorn (love the song Suvetar), Tyr,Tyrfing, Ensiferum, Moonsorrow and ofcourse FALKENBACH!!!! I like them all.
Windir (sounds very interesting!), Bathorn I don't know. But the rest is Awesome.
I don't know if you like Dutch, otherwise you should look for Heidevolk ;)
