They don't completely, but they have to be taken into account. If someone is looking for viking metal, then bands who write about vikings certainly must be considered even if they don't play the typical viking metal style. |

I always interpreted it as being about the Norsemen who were killed because they refused to convert...makes more sense with the lyrics, imo, but you could be right...

Just gonna use this thread to ask a minor question. I've heard several people say Viking Metal itself isn't a real genre, regardless of if you think so or not, and without getting into a debate about it, what genre do people who feel it's not a real genre generally classify bands that fall into that category as?

"Burning naked but smiling
Not full of fear but pride
Knowing death alone could cleanse them
From the reasons for which they all died
For all those who died
Pleas for mercy signs of guilt
Naked bodies broken on the wheel
Tears sign the confession
With crusted blood lips sealed
Trial by water"
This part pretty much gives it away imo.
Never heard of viking being trialed by water and burning naked is pretty much the epithome of a witch execution. :>
