pablogener Posted May 22, 2016 I was wondering if the 'all-boys-together' sort of feeling that some meatal bands portray are related in any way to what actually went on in the ancient cultures. Did they sing songs like nightwish's or epica's or sonata arctica's or any of the like? I imagine a bunch of blonde, dirty haired, bulky dude's in a boat, cladded with leather and steel, singing and 'boat-banging', like it was metal back then too. anyone can share a thought on this? 0 Share this post Link to post
Tracer Posted May 22, 2016 Here's some norse pagan folk music. This is more accurate to what they listened to. Spoiler Okay, but seriously. This. 0 Share this post Link to post
dew Posted May 22, 2016 I don't know how close it is to actual Viking music, but Hedningarna is fun to listen to and very probably more accurate than, uh, metal. 0 Share this post Link to post
Quast Posted May 22, 2016 I believe norse culture had a thing for poetry-slam rap battles as a way to express anger. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flyting 0 Share this post Link to post
