Viking Metal Detectors: Viking 1, Viking 5 & Viking 6
Viking detectors are not only sold to treasure hunters right across Europe, but also to water authorities, local councils and many other service industries.
The Viking 1 is a classic well-proven Viking detector, and the new model profits from a new housing (including, for the first time, an 'S'-type shaft) and improved display interface.

  Viking metal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Viking metal is a cross-genre reference usually used to describe the lyrical and thematic elements of bands rather than the music itself.
The bands that are associated with viking metal cover a broad range of musical genres and influences, such as folk metal, thrash metal, death metal, fl metal, and power metal.
Common among some viking metal is a reverence for pagan Germanic, or Viking culture, as well as a rejection of contemporary Christianity, and disdain of the Christianisation of Northern Europe in favour of a pre-Christian, Pagan world.

 The Metal Crypt - Descriptions of genres of metal
Death Metal: There are three albums that are largely responsible for the emergence of Death Metal from the morass of Thrash, all of them released between 1985 and 1987.
Gothic Metal, as it is meant today, is usually a mixing of Death Metal riffing with moody keyboards and female vocals, sometimes mixed with aggressive growling from a male vocalist, sometimes not.
Folk Metal: Essentially, any band that uses folk music in their songwriting is a Folk Metal band, but there is a wide array of bands under this rubric, and this makes classification difficult.

 Viking Metal - Page 4 - Ultimate Metal Forum
Folk metal is not a metal genre, as the metal part of it can be any type of metal, but it's definately a musical genre.
viking metal has to be the most worthless description i have ever heard a band be given as it is entirely meaningless.
I suppose folk metal could be considered a metal genre when the metal apect is clearly influenced by folk music, although that would raise the question whether it is mainly folk or mainly metal.

 No Life 'til Metal - CD Gallery - Viking
In the mid-1990's thrash metal was on top of the world but it was also a time when the sound was splintering into many different directions.
Viking's "Do Or Die" falls into that category as well, with a big nod to Dark Angel and Slayer's "Reign in Blood".
Viking's claim to fame was guitarist, producer Ron Eriksen who went on to join Dark Angel.

 Unleashed - Viking Death Metal
Death metal vocals that dry even the listener's throat accompany the strict rhythms of marching to war, a motif among other strong iconographies to this music.
The music is gothic old-style metal played within a death metal context, with the instrumentality of a NWOBHM band gone hobbit rock at high speed.
The Viking viral hierarchy that pervades the concepts behind these songs reflects a thoughtful futurism in the strength of humans and nature working against one another, together, in a karmic cycle which is represented in the pulsing undulation between central and harmonic notes.

 More Viking-metal! - Ultimate Metal Forum
Its about vikings, usually, but viking metal is usually a folky sounding form of fl metal, not the balls heavy melodic death metal that AA produce.
Unleashed earlier in their career were damn good, with some cool viking themes as stated, but they were definately not purely about that topic (they are now maybe, I stopped listening to them.
Viking metal to me is definately more folky sounding, of course it can have other elements (like death, fl, doom, etc.) - but I still consider it a sub genre of fl because of one band: Mithotyn.

 Enslaved - Viking Black Metal
Previous creators of ambient folk metal masterpieces, Enslaved use the presentation dynamics of folk music to break fl metal into its simplest form of vector expression yet, a blasting counterpoint style based on melodic affinity to central lyric (as many folk songs do).
Sometimes these epics turn into bouncy Viking drinking songs, or celebratory musings of romance, but their overall intent is harmful and belligerent in the spirit of war as metaphor for life; a devouring voice, this music infiltrates at subtle levels to splay its visions of obscure ancient modes of thought before your barely programmed brain.
Whether that is your taste in fl metal or not, "Frost" bears study as a musical document of a potent direction for future technical underground minimalism, especially in its expression of Viking traditionalism through melody adapted to the manic patternings of modern rhythm.

 Viking Metal (idea)@Everything2.com
Metal music is probably the most sub-genred musical genre in the world, with the possible exception of House Music or Techno.
As opposed to many of the other sub-genres such as speed metal or thrash metal, Viking Metal unsurprisingly derives its name from the themes and general atmosphere of the music rather than the technical execution or sound.
The 'formal' origins of Viking Metal can be traced more or less to 1988 when the Swedish one man formation Bathory released their/his third album titled Blood, Fire, Death.

VIKING was featured on the 8th installment, with the song "Hellbound" from the demo being featured.
In 1990, Metal Blade Records released a compilation album of bands such as VIKING, HERETIC, LIZZY BORDEN, and ANVIL entitled "Metallic Overdrive." The VIKING track featured was "Man of Straw." This would be the last record from Metal Blade on which Viking appeared.
Although VIKING had a six-album contract with Metal Blade Records and an upcoming U.S. tour, Ron knew that his young Christianity would not withstand the temptations of the road.

 Metal Reviews - Metal Coven Webzine - Metal Reviews - Manegarm - Vargaresa - The Beginning
Sure, they have a slew of Viking themes, and I'd call their debut full length album "Nordstjarnans tidsalder" almost completely Viking metal, but on their last two albums "Havets Vargar" and "Dodsfard" they really laid on the folkiness like never before.
The debut album had a few violin parts here and there, but the later two albums were almost completely laden from beginning to end with traditional folk instruments which really added a sense of total folkiness to the Viking metal leanings of their metal sound.
In 2003, they gained a lot of much needed exposure with the release of "Dodsfard" and a lot of new fans begged for their early out of print demo material to be re-released.

 Viking Age Metal-casting. - Anders Söderberg.
The main standpoints in the discussion have been that either the moulds were formed by pressing an original metal object into the moulding material and thereafter placing the two mould halves together or that there were derived from a lost-wax method.
The metal was exported from the continent to Scandinavia, as ready-made objects.

Viking Crown is one of the countless Phil Anselmo projects that he occupies his time with during Pantera down times.
Viking Crown is Anselmo's venture into the extreme harsh forms of early minimalist fl metal.
Almost ambient at times, the deliberately poorly produced songs are at times quite disturbing and evil sounding, bleak soundscapes of harsh noise, quite characteristic of the early Norwegian bands such as Darkthrone.

That is hardly metal, you could pass it off as metalcore, at best, i suppose, however there is nothing Viking about the music except the themed art on your myspace page (and i would assume the lyrics) - and visual images aren't quite music are they.
If metal is to survive, there needs to be a demand for more relevant music, instead of old, rehashed metal that simply is, and will never aspire to anything more than noise to headbang to. Spread the word, support aural evolution.
Typically when metal is advertised as Viking Metal you expect it to sound epic and heavy in the vein of Bathory's later material.

 Folk metal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
As the name suggests, the one common ground between folk metal bands is a shared interest in fusing heavy metal music with elements of folk music.
Folk Metal bands are sometimes mistaken for harboring National Socialism sympathies, partly because of a common ground in using Romantic Nationalist lyrics and partly because of the use of pagan symbols that are often miscontrued as neo-nazi symbols.
Not surprisingly, the overlap between Viking Metal and Folk Metal is strongest in Scandinavia with bands such as Moonsorrow and Ensiferum serving as examples.

Many people ignorantly ridicule the genre of Viking Metal [VM], or simply claim to "not understand the purpose of the genre," leading me to offer a small paragraph addressing the issue.
Viking Metal is about Norse Mythology, Ásatrú, Nature, the Nordic landscape, pride and strength, characteristics of the Vikings, historic events of the Vikings, and so forth.
Quite unfortunately, many people are brainwashed into thinking that a Viking Metal band has to sound like old Enslaved (or similar), but can't sound like Amon Amarth or Unleashed.

The discrimination allows the rejection of low quality metal and sensitivity control ensures maximum detector performance.
The Viking VK 30 metal detector operates like 2 detectors in 1. Its motion mode provides discrimination and the addition of a non-motion mode allows accurate pinpointing of target objects. Using the two modes together makes the Viking VK30 a very effective detector.
The features that Viking VK40 from the rest of the Viking range of metal detectors are its concentric search head and membrane keypad control system. The large search head allows objects to be detected deeper than with other detectors. Your favourite detection modes are stored in the processor memory for easy retrieval via the keypad.
