* MoodWhiplash: From their first album, ''Ofnir'': "Schlammschlacht" is a spoken-word poem about the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest, describing in gruesome detail the slaughter of the Roman Legions, finishing with the most horrifying, gut-wrenching screams imaginable. It's followed by the extremely quiet, haunting "Carpathian Forest."

* {{NSFW}}:
** The official video for "Krigsgaldr" features obviously male Stone Age stick men indulging in RapePillageAndBurn.
** The CD booklet for ''Futha'' contains Celtic knotwork style illustrations. Some of them are rather sexual.

''Drif'' (2022)\\


Added DiffLines:

* LoudnessWar: Averted: The [=YouTube=] description for "Anoana," the first single from ''Drif'', has this to say about the album:
-->Drif has been mastered significantly lower in volume than most modern releases to achieve a greater dynamic range, deeper lowend, transparent transients and a wider stereo image. If you want it louder, turn up the volume on a proper sound carrier.

!!Tropes displayed by this band

* AnachronismStew: Their sound mixes pre-industrial instruments with subtle electronic effects. For example, the start of [[https://youtu.be/QRg_8NNPTD8 this video]], where Christopher blows down a buffalo horn, then loops it.
* BilingualBonus:
** They have recorded songs in Old Norse, Gothic, Old High German, Icelandic and Anglo-Saxon.
** The CD of ''Futha'' has its title and track list written in runes instead of the more common Latin alphabet.
* {{Blackface}}: Averted. Kai has a black face in the [[https://youtu.be/64CACoHNBEI official video]] for "Norupo," but he is clearly ''not'' parodying a black person.
* EpicRocking: In the interest of brevity, we will only list songs over ten minutes.
** "Othan" 10:18
** "Galgaldr" 10:21
** "In Maidjan" 12:33
** "Afhomon" 13:41
** "Hamrer Hippyer" 14:16
* FolkMetal: Their music is not metallic, but Vikings are intrinsically Metal, and the Metal press seems to like them.
* HornyVikings: They use a lot of Nordic imagery. Singer Maria Franz is Norwegian, and has a stage outfit with ''antlers''.
* {{NSFW}}:
** The official video for "Krigsgaldr" features obviously male Stone Age stick men indulging in RapePillageAndBurn.
** The CD booklet for ''Futha'' contains Celtic knotwork style illustrations. Some of them are rather sexual.
* ShownTheirWork: A bit of digging online will find the historical texts that they have used for lyrics.
* SopranoAndGravel: With two grades of gravel! Maria provides clean female vocals, Kai does harsh male vocals and throat singing.
