Windir
Norwegian black metal about vikings: sounds all-to-normal eh?
Think again, this is probably some of the best black metal I've ever heard. I heard 2 songs from their 1184 album and immediately purchased it. I was not disappointed.
Sadly, the leader and founder of the band 'Valfar' has since passed away, it's unlikely we'll see anything more from Windir.
Seriously amazing works of melodic black viking-themed metal.

You could not ask for a more glorious natural murder than Valfar. Slain by the cold winds and blizzards of his own lands. 'Tis a shame, but still kvlt.
I'm a proud owner of 99% of all Windir songs, save for one that I lost in my last computer crash.

Yes a very fitting death for a modern-day viking, I agree.
I plan to get all his/their work eventually, it's definitely among the best viking metal I've heard.
