"Told ya, they where removed. The reason? ""Where does it state in the references they are exclusively viking metal?"". I could add references for all the removed bands to say that they are exclusively viking metal. Viking metal is metal from viking countries or viking decendancy, with viking themes somewhere along the way. Just because someone arbitrarily says whether a band is or isn`t viking metal doesn`t make it so, its the content of the band as a whole that dictates whether or not it may be classed as viking metal. So if I was to establish a web site reviewing bands and I reviewed `Take That`s latest album and said it was viking metal, would that suffice? Would that make take that viking metal? I don`t think so, although it seems to be enough for some of you!
