If you already haven't listened to it, I'd suggest picking up Verbal Deception (Calgary band), their album Aurum Aetus Piraticus is very good.Originally posted by Vagabond142
bump for front paginess and the hopes that more viking metal heads for this thread XD
Also, I've seen someone suggest Thyrfing, great suggestion.

JUST found out about these guys o_O
Delain... gothic/symphonic metal, along the lines of Within Temptation and Nightwish. They got it all: pedigree (formed by fomer keyboardist for Within Temptation), hot female lead vocalist (Charlotte Wessels), Dutch (so northern european, heartland of all truly epic metal), and love to have fun (just look at the band picture on Wikipedia XD)
The Gathering
Just something of note... for Nightwish fans... yes, that is Marco in the track playing his awesome bass and doing backing vocals o_O! Wikipedia 1, Vagabond 0 :P

I dunno if this qualifies as good metal or as just the most epic cover of all time...
A collaboration band exists, called Northern Kings. It is made up of big Finnish metal names, and they only do covers.
The group is made up of:
Jarkko Ahola (Lead vocals: Teräsbetoni), Marco Hietala (Backing/Local vocals: Nightwish), Tony Kakko (Lead vocals: Sonata Arctica) and Juha-Pekka Leppäluoto (Lead vocals: Charon)
And they did, of all tracks... this song below o_o

I didn't see it mentioned but Omnium Gatherum is a great semi-Viking band. The song nail is a personal fave.
b_t is a huge nag (2019 friendly)
If you want something completely, entirely different then this should work.. metal as fuck with some of the craziest shredding I have heard in some time.

Was just linked to this video and didn't see the band listed on a quick skim of the thread. It's the side project of the guitarist and bassist from SYL. I can't watch any of these guys' videos without laughing out loud. Zimmer's Hole FTW.
Just look at these fucking lyrics!
Oh Lord of Darkness, have you conquered the sun?
Behold, the world has come undone
I feel a breakdown
Cheeseburger breakdown
We need a breakdown

Saw these guys in Edmonton a couple years ago. If it weren't for GWAR they would've been the highlight of the show for me.Originally posted by Darkane

Since this has kinda become the official metal thread I figured I'd post here that Pete has left Norther to focus on Ensiferum. Can't say I'm too happy about this. Darkest Time is one of my favourite songs.
