ITT: Bands with historical influences. Ones that make you want to go back in time and be a viking/samurai/crusader etc and fight in wars and shit.

Iron maiden. The clansman makes me want to fight along side with William Wallace
It's tacky fucking power metal, but it's so tacky it's badass. Also its subject matter is usually ignored by modern music.

Fug, not even American but I'm feeling this patriotic nostalgia. Nice one.

A classic.
Eluveitie, they use fucking Gaulish (or at least a reconstructed version) in some songs and the melodies to their songs take influence from Celtic folk songs.
I'm Scottish so I know a fair amount of Scottish folk music, so when I listens to www.youtube.com/watch?v=3pdGLsFjRSM I could pick out around 2:45 the tune of www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NrHkf7rB34 (an old jacobite song).
Pretty cool.
Kinda plebby choice I know but this. Their first album at least. Really put me into the mindset of Jack the Ripper. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zq4RI00uriI
The Monitor is pretty historically-themed. Their other albums not so much.

Wow, catchy
Just read that they get the help of scientists to write their songs in reconstructed Gaulish. Pretty dope.
As an Englishman though, I cannot stand for this!
