Viking inspired songs (part 1)
Bathory? *blush*
I would like to suggest Skálmöld (https://lyricstranslate.com/en/skalmoeld-lyrics.html) (and thanks again to [@david.winlo] for making me discover them!).
Thanks for this list, it looks promising for more new music! How are you enjoying the Icelandic?
I have to admit I haven't really done anything in the way of Icelandic since we last talked about it, but I haven't forgotten about it. :)
Cool - what languages are you doing, if you don't mind me asking? It's always interesting to see where other people's interests lie, and keen linguists (or indeed, linguists - I blame the poor way they're handled in schools) are hard to come by in my country! :')
Thank you Higgs Boson! I would suggest ᚡᛟᛚᚢᛋᛈᚨ (Völuspá) from Duivelspack (https://lyricstranslate.com/en/duivelspack-v%C3%B6lusp%C3%A1-lyrics.html) :)
I was surprised to find Fever Ray's "If I had a heart" on the list, but after listening to it, I understand a little better why. :)
Oh, I had no idea.
https://lyricstranslate.com/en/asenblut-gedanke-amp-erinnerung-lyrics.html (about Hugin and Munin)
https://lyricstranslate.com/en/asenblut-wolf-lyrics.html (a requiem to someone who has gone to Valhall)
https://lyricstranslate.com/en/asenblut-kampfruf-lyrics.html (battle-song mentioning Odin)
https://lyricstranslate.com/en/ironwood-lyrics.html (many of the lyrics, author is an odinist)
https://lyricstranslate.com/en/arckanum-lyrics.html (nearly all of the lyrics, thursian)
Yeah, thursatrú is pretty niche, don't really know any thursatrian songs besides that artist.
Afaik, Thursatrú tends to be not often recognized among general heathenry, but I'm not active in the pagan community normally, so I can't tell whether that can be generalized.
I think all practitioners of Thursatrú I so far encountered identified as LHPers, i.e. following a heterodox spiritual path (which makes sense considering the general reputation of the thurses in Norse mythology), and at least some not necessarily as heathens/pagans.
I mean, there are also self-identifying LHPers who work with the Æsir (e.g. the lyricist of Ironwood whom I mentioned above if the band name is any hint, I read his weblog a while ago), but thursatrú is basically reverse-asatrú, so it's not surprising that that is rather shunned.
Many,some, or one from these bands/artists:Enslaved, Glittertind, Skuggsjá/Einar Selvik & Ivar Bjørnson, Burzum, Kvelertak, Lumsk, Folque,Fejd, Leaves' Eyes, Therion,Månegarm, Einherjer,Otyg, Vintersorg, Borknagar, Windir,Kampfar, Ragnarok, Khold,
And these songs:

Added a "few" more, I dont expect them all to be added, but I think they all are worthy of consideration.
I let you work with the list, but if you ever feel like you need more suggestions let me know and I be happy to provide some.
I will also try to add missing videos, provide translations etc if you need that too.
Good calls! This might need some subcollections eventually.
This reminded me of some song I heard a while ago:
https://lyricstranslate.com/en/greed-rapacity-loki-bound-lyrics.html
Berserkr by Kvelertak: https://lyricstranslate.com/en/kvelertak-berserkr-lyrics.html
Since the author of this collection is gone, I asked for permission to mods to add myself as a collaborator, and filled in the missing spots (removing a few songs which were wrongly accredited as "viking inspired"). The collection is now full, so I'll open a part 2.
Thanks! I like this guys - https://lyricstranslate.com/en/vallorch-voices-north-lyrics.html
