Tyr

Týr.. a band that I am unworthy of saying a damn thing about. Listen to them if you have a love for warrior mythos and proggy folk/viking the likes of which I've never heard before and am unlikely to hear from anywhere else.

Primordial

Primordial is a Black/Folk band from Ireland. Utilizing a lot of pagan imagery in their lyrics, Primordials songs have a tendency to become epic tales of woe and war. A powerful band with a very moving style, particularly vocal-wise. Another band to put on in the dark, to let the sounds carry you to another world.
*Personal Meditations: Primordial can be a very hit and miss band with me. When they do it, they do it right all the way, but if a song doesn't hit me right, it feels like a complete failure. I encourage you to listen to all this band has to offer and decide for yourself what they've done right and wrong.*

Holy Blood

Hailing from Keiv in the Ukraine are the Christian Folk/Black Metal outfit Holy Blood. Yet another band who shouldn't be looked over because of their spiritual beliefs. If you are a fan of bands like Korpiklaani, Finntroll or Ensiferum you should give these dudes a serious listen. They've got a style that has been done before (Hence the similar bands listed) so I won't go too much longer on them. I highly suggest giving them a thorough listen, you'll thank me for this advice someday.

Wolves in the Throne Room

Wolves in the Throne Room is a Black Metal band from Washington state. Taken from AllMusicGuide: "Wolves in the Throne Room compose haunting black metal inspired by fog-draped forests and long, dreary, dark winters. But the imaginatively named trio is not your everyday, pagan-worshipping, blood-sucking, corpse-paint-donning black metal band, either; but rather residents of a self-sufficient commune situated outside of Olympia, WA, where frugal living conditions help dictate the band's focus on music -- not dressing up like it's Halloween all year-round."
