Scandanavian/Finnish bands are particularly big on tapping into fantsay and folklore. Some of them also make a point to tap into the traditional folk music of that region. "Viking Folk Metal" sounds like a joke, but some of it is really good!

Yeah, I've heard some of it. Scandinavia is one of the death metal world capitals. Must be their gloomy weather that leads to such doomy music.

Ive never been into any death metal band...To me it just seems like they are just trying to be metal as possible by sounding heavy as possible which IMO makes the music suffer
