Good evening, /mu/
I don't listen to metal often, but I've been in the mood for it lately. I really like Amon Amarth, specifically the 'Twilight of the Thunder God' album, and the band Týr.
Do you have any artist/band suggestions for me?

I too like both those bands, I also dig novembers doom, my dying bride, orden ogan, swallow the sun, and saturnus. you may enjoy one or all of those bands so give em a shot

Thanks! I'll check them out.
You could've just said you liked cheesy viking themed metal

You may dig Falkenbach. I'm particularly partial to Heralding The Fireblade.

>amon amarth
>melodic death metal that thinks it's viking metal
fuck off

but Amon Amarth sounds exactly like newer Rotting Christ or vice versa, whom are regarded as black metal, therefore AA must be (greek-styled) black metal too for sounding just like a black metal band/album, or otherwise this album is Melodeath
which is it?
>>60369656
I like both of those. How about some Ensiferum?

Hegg has actually publicly disputed the band's label of "viking metal"

didn't they begin as a grindcore band? that always put me off, i shouldn't lash out really
>>60371356
It's possible. If they put out anything before The Crusher I haven't heard it though.
>>60369656
OP might like Windir for black metal in that vein, or Korpiklaani. Never really got into the latter though.
Oh, and Kalmah if you don't mind a band that calls themselves "swamp metal".

You've missed their 2 best albums desu
>>60372274
Just Googled. Didn't realize Avenger and Golden Hall were before The Crusher. I haven't listened to their '96 EP, though. Is it any good?
