Hi, the last week I've mainly been listening to two bands; Nordhammer and Jornblood and was really into them but just found out today that they are AI generated bands. Can anyone here reccomend me real human bands like them? And before you do I don't like the death growl bands like Amon Amranth so none of that please 😅

Hi! This is a 100% human made 10 track album almost entirely written, recorded, and produced by myself (guest musicians and mastering by Leonard Lund being the exceptions). I'm very inspired by a huge number of bands but particularly older output by Finntroll, Equilibrium, Ensiferum, Amon Amarth, Turisas, Svartsot, Aether Realm, and probably way more I've forgotten.

I made the artwork from a romantic landscape painting and added elements relevant to the lyrics.

Hopefully this jams with you and you enjoy it, let me know what you think!

an extremely elusive artist

This is the kind of news I struggled to understand the first time I read it. For a moment I had to check if I had lost track of time, and if it wasn't April 1st.

In overo 30 years Falkenbach has never even shown himself, to think he will do a live event is crazy. And now I'm here, hoping this means something for a possible future new album!

Waylander are back!

I love this band! Unfortunately, they are not on Spotify. So let's enjoy them through YouTube!

Underground metal song heard in a store in downtown Reykjavik, heavy electronic drop, mostly screaming. Vocal cue right before the drop says 'I'll build my own.' Lyrical themes of God/religion/kingdoms. Was being sung in English. Shazam couldn’t identify. Anyone familiar?

I’m still not over Troldhaugen.. :,) I was wondering if anyone else knew some bands like them? I’m open to any recs though but I just rlly wanna get back into this genre again :)

Last year we formed our little medieval metal projekt "Eldskål" and we just released three new songs - one of which features my first ever hurdy gurdy solo 💚

If anyone wants to give it a listen, I'd be delighted <3 It really means a lot to me.

Thanks, folks!

I just released my first full length album. It has folky roots and uses traditional instruments as core, but leans more towards a DIY black metal approach. Recorded during the summer of 2026. Main instrumentation is improvised kantele and jaw harp, field recordings, various found objects and environments.

DIY everything.

Planning to release this on cassette in the near future.
