Ranging from epic/pagan black to basic folk/viking and some in-between. I still think viking/folk needs its own forum whether or not it includes the old bathory style, or straight pagan/death or even the modern ensiferum and power metal type bands. Anyways here are some maybe obscure or yet big names that sound pretty cool too me. Please add to this list; for me these styles of metal music never gets old.

Gwydion- Horn Triskelion (2010) This album has especially grabbed my attention; has some symphonic elements added to Ensiferum-style
