Another band announced – yay for viking metal!

September 29th, 2008 by goatlady

A third band has been con­firmed for Wacken 2009 (the big event is in 10 months and one day as I write this) – and it’s Nor­we­gian Viking metal pio­neers Ein­her­jer. Thanks Blab­ber­mouth!

Viking metal is some­thing I’ve writ­ten about in the past. Although I love Amon Amarth a great deal, I don’t gen­er­ally get into viking metal as much as say, pirate metal. At least Ein­her­jer don’t sound folksy like Alestorm, although their Wikipedia page sug­gests that some of their albums are more folk while oth­ers are black metal.

At any rate, good to see the announce­ments continue!
