I wish they would just play and stop the lame posing..and enough with the demons and vikings already..sheesh and whats with the synchronized hair spinning..that a new Olympic sport maybe huh?
South Americans seem to be doing most of the real metal these days. I like this guy http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdrKuOS3tBgI-kwq-QPkGtw he does some stuff with game/tv music for fun.
This is a specific kind of metal it is viking metal. There is a sub-group of individuals that love nordic metal. I personally don't like it, but that is why you see this. There are so many kinds of metal out there these days. This is just one of the sub-genres. That video was epic though - at least the imagery.
Meh, after this I need a great big dose of Cult of Luna. I used to listen to a shit-load of Folk Metal, which is I guess is a more melodic/folky (duh) version of "viking metal". I still occasionally enjoy a listen to Ensiferum, Korpiklaani or Finntroll, but these days it's all about the down-tempo doomy/sludgy/post-metaly stuff for me (also, fuck sub-genres).
