Recomended Album.
Amorphis is a Finnish metal band started by Jan Rechberger, Tomi Koivusaari and Esa Holopainen in 1990. Initially, the band was a Death Metal act, but with time they have evolved into making music that is more classifiable as Death Doom Metal and, more recently, Progressive Metal and Hard Rock, utilizing increasingly complex arrangements and a less brutal sound.

Amorphis is well known for their use of the Finnish national epic, the Kalevala, as a source for their lyrics.

Pazuzu - Awaken the Dragon

As I stood here at the break of eternity the planets realined to hide the sun.The moon was red and the sky turns black - the Dragon roared in rage.And I was silent, waiting for a sign, but on the ninth day the earth did not open.There was thunder but no rain - the Dragon howled five names.Seven prophets without faces hiding behind the ancient hills.Fourteen and two servants a lined at their side - the Dragon's eye ablaze.Finally, an eclipse. Voices muttering ancient tongues.Beast long dead, had rearisen awaken the mighty Dragon.On the twenty-third day, a mighty earthquake shook the soil.From each wind came four riders to rob the Dragon's slumber.The world had reached the final stage.Among the stars; the Dragon's breath invoked a mighty storm.Awaken the immortal Dragon - the emperor of time.

Just another perfect band for today also recommended. This time from Denmark land of Vikings. And also is their debut album, great young bands these days.
Svartsot was started in February 2005 in Randers (Denmark), arising from the ashes of an earlier, more blackmetal-based folkmetal act. With the addition of Claus B. Gnudtzmann on vocals came a change in course for the lyrical content, with songs being now based on traditional Danish folklore and Nordic mythology. The music still kept elements of blackmetal, together with other contemporary metal-styles merged with Nordic folk music.

Pagan Reign - Ancient Warriors

The year was 1995. Orey, being influenced by metal and inspired by Russian Paganism, began composing his own original lyrics and musical arrangements. And so, Pagan Reign was born.Orey created all the riffs and melodies by himself and later included them in the first album.For a long time he searched not only for talented musicians, but for musicians that held the same views as himself.In 1998, after a long search, along came Sloven, Pagan Reigns new drummer.In 1999, guitarist, Vetrodar, had joined the band. Together, the three devoted themselves to the composing of new songs and arrangement of new material.Their energy and potential quickly captured the attention of bassist Koldum, who soon joined the band.Then, despite unfavorable circumstances, the band began work on their first demo.The demo, titled "The Dawn", was recorded during a repetition session and consisted of five tracks.After the recording was completed, Pagan Reign performed their first concert. Not only was their music stylistically unique, but their appearance also made people take notice.The musicians wore traditional Slavic clothes which made them stand out amongst other bands. Pagan Reign had taken part in all of the shows that were held in the clubs of Tver. By the end of 1999, they had finished recording their first full-length demo album, which was called "Ancient Warriors." Because it was recorded at their home studio, the production left much to be desired, thus the demo wasn't distributed amongst magazines and record labels. (LastFm)
