Amon Amarth are melo-death, as far as I know.



Thyrfing, Ensiferum, Windir, Viikate, Equilibrium, Elvenking (power/folk), Vintersorg, Otyg, Borknagar, etc. I'm looking for more myself, so I'll watch this thread. *goes to get some Cruachan and Moonsorrow wink *

Melo-Death?

But yes, those other two are very interesting bands.

Yes, at least from what I've heard. Just having lyrics about the viking gods doesn't make a band viking metal.

If you have a CD store that contains these albums then I would suggest checking out these bands. Is Folk another word for Viking? As I just found out, there apparently is a genre for the Vikings? I presume they sing and play music about the Nordic deities?

Viking metal branched off from black metal. The music is often more complex than bm( I may be wrong).

Vintersorg
Mithotyn
Windir
Primordial(are they folk?)
Einherjar
Finntroll

Falkenbach

I strongly recommend ...Magni Blandinn Ok Megintiri.... Or hell, anything by Falkenbach.

And look into Folkearth [which has one of the biggest lineups I have ever seen @_@]

Well, the difference between folkmetal and vikingmetal when it comes to themes is usually the fact that the viking ones are about, well, vikings, and such. While folk can be about mythology, or fantasy creatures, like trolls, which is a theme that often comes along in folkmetal from scandinavia.

Does anyone of you know a good place to buy metal cds? I know amazon and all those big places, so telling me amazon is a great place really wont help me a lot.

Wrong. Viking metal isn't just about lyrical themes, and there is a difference in music when it comes to viking and folk. Viking is a branch of black metal, if I remember correctly. Many bands mix viking/folk, it is very common.

I said that the difference WHEN it comes to lyrical themes didnt I ? I didnt say that its the only thing that seperates them.
