Viking metal

Viking metal is a style of heavy metal music characterized by a lyrical and thematic focus on Norse mythology, paganism, and the Viking Age. Viking metal is quite diverse as a musical style, to the point where some consider it more a cross-genre term than a genre.

Leftist Wikipedia claims without any source that "Many scholars view Viking metal and the related black, pagan, and folk metal genres as part of broader modern Pagan movements and neo-völkisch movements".
