In need of some Folk/Viking Metal

I'm looking for some new Folk/Viking metal type bands to listen to. Some bands I already listen to are Ensiferum, Amon Amarth, and Wintersun.

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Enslaved are the best in the genre.

I like that list but I'd omit EToS. Suidakra's album Caledonia is their best folk/viking metal album, Command to Charge is alright. The rest of their albums are more melodeath, or atleast less folky.


Eluveitie

yea, they're not of the genre, but I include them because they do have a fair bit of folk influence in their melodies.
