Viking metal...

Viking metal is a term used in reference to heavy metal music with a dramatic emphasis on Norse mythology, Norse paganism, and the life and times of Northern and Central Europeans prior to the Christianization of Scandinavia. The genre is closely associated with folk metal. It is still debated whether or not Viking metal can be considered a stand alone "genre", or merely an ideological off-shoot of other genres, as the influence of style being played varies among artists. For example, Viking metal artists may perform in a black metal, death metal or folk metal style, among others. As a result, terms such as Viking black metal and Viking death metal are sometimes used for distinguishing purposes.

that is from wikipedia. theres loads more information on it, probs three pages.
the best bit is that theres a section on confusion with nazism.....

Some Viking metal fanbases, such as the online Viking metal broadcasting channel Valhala Radio, have experienced actions from anti-Nazi groups. Valhalla Radio has been forced to put up a disclaimer on their site that clarifies that neither they nor Viking metal is linked to Nazism or racism.
The link between Norse mythology and Nazism is generally thought to originate in the years of the Second World War. Use of Norse symbolism was used to construct a Scandinavian nationalism based on their common Viking heritage. This symbolism was so extensively used that even today, some people associate symbols such as Thor's hammer, the sun-cross, Oseberg-art, etc. with Nazism.
