Primordial

Okay, I very rarely praise a band to the point where I could ever consider placing them on my top five favorite bands list, but this band right here ... Primordial is amazing enough to be able to do just that.

They are an amazing Irish folk/black metal band, that is really unique in execution. No bands really sound just like them, and of all the bands I listen to they are the one that gives the most visceral vision of the past.

I could go on and on about how amazing they are, but I think that you would be better of listening to them yourself.
