IoMP 165: The BEST Viking Metal Bands

Grab your axes and prepare for battle! Collin and Tom set sail into one of metal's most fascinating subgenres: Viking Metal.From the legendary pioneers who shaped the genre to modern bands carrying the torch, the guys discuss what actually makes a band "Viking metal," why it's one of the broadest subgenres in heavy music, and which artists deserve a place in every metalhead's collection.Along the way, they debate Amon Amarth's genre classification, explore Viking mythology, discover hidden gems, and somehow end up talking about German beer, Lego flowers, and dating profiles.Check out more from Collin!https://indi1015.ca/shows/thrashers-paradise/https://www.youtube.com/@thrashersparadise4132https://www.instagram.com/thrashers_paradise/https://www.facebook.com/Thrashers.Paradise.666/Check out more from Tom!https://themetalrobot.com/https://www.youtube.com/@MetalRobotReviewshttps://www.facebook.com/theMetalRobothttps://x.com/theMetalRobothttps://www.instagram.com/the.metalrobot/MUSIC:Berserkers - VIKING | WAR MUSICBathory “A Fine Day to Die”Enslaved “The Watcher”Einherjer “Bloodborn”Skálmöld “Ullur”-----------------------------DISCLAIMER: Copyright Exceptions under the Copyright Act (R.S.C., 1985, c.
