A subgenre of death metal with strong roots in Scandinavian countries such as Norway and Finland. It is similar to folk metal in the aspect that it heavily utilizes melody combined with instruments such as the accordion, panflute and harp, along with deep operatic backing vocals to achieve a medieval atmosphere. Lyrical content deals with Viking culture and a Norse outlook - the belief that the only way to gain passage into Valhalla in Asgard is to die in a grand battle or adventure. It also shares subject matter with power metal, in that it deals with legend-esque things like warriors and dragons. Adversely it can be seen as power metal's opposite, as power metal deals with knights and heroes using neo-classical undertones where the protagonists of viking metal are swarthy and violent, almost barbaric.
Though viking metal is dark and grave in nature much like black metal, artists and fans of this genre tend to have a positive outlook - unlike screamo and gothicism, it's not themselves they hate, but everyone else.

Get the Vibin Vagina mug.VikingBall is a new varient of street/urban hockey played in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Instead of using a blocker, stick, glove, and leg pads, the goalie or "Viking" uses a hammer made of wood, high-density foam and duct tape, and a shield to deflect shots/punish opponents. To punish, the viking can use the hammer to hit opposing runners and earn his team a point. Runners, beware of coming too close to a ravenous Viking.
