Currently inspired by a discussion on the beehaw discord.
The three I always end up listening to are:
- Heilung
- Ensiferum

Holy shit! This is a niche?
It's metal, it's niches all the way down!
These guys are properly medieval

It's black metal with a strong medieval flavor, banjo (?) and a bunch of wood instruments, actual songs - and quite nice production as well. If you enjoy both black metal shrieking and some silliness, this is a gem.
Heilung! And Wardruna. If you like Maria Franz I really liked the album she did with Songleikr, which is more folky
Oh my goddesses! Thanks to this thread I see that Heilung will be in my city later in the year!
