Indudablemente Bathory son los pioneros del género. Fue a la mitad de su carrera, sobre el año 1990, cuando discos como Blood Fire Deatho Hammerheart vieron la luz. Estos discos incorporaban unos ritmos más lentos que el trabajo anterior del grupo (Bathory es también uno de los pioneros en el black metal) y letras arraigadas en la mitología nórdica. Estos discos fueron influencia directa para grupos que debían llegar a mediados de los noventa como Falkenbach, Heidevolk, Svartsot, Equilibrium, Menhir, Odroerir, Ensiferum, Månegarm, Enslaved,Einherjer, Mithotyn, Turisas ,Thyrfing, Bifrost, Nomans Land, Wolfchant... Fueron estos grupos los que dieron forma al estilo, añadiendo frecuentes coros de voces masculinas, influencias folk, etc. incluyendo un fuerte sabor vikingo. En el siglo XXI han aparecido numerosas bandas en todas partes del mundo, como Amon Amarth o Tyr, ejemplo de la fusión de death metal melódico con temática vikinga (en el caso de Amon Amarth), que han consolidado a un género que cada vez está teniendo mayor protagonismo en el panorama metalero. De hecho, este género está empezando a influenciar con fuerza a bandas del resto del mundo, siendo claro ejemplo de ello la banda española Runic (Castellón), cuyo estilo oscila entre el viking metal y el heavy metal pagano en general. Unos de los grandes impulsores de este generos son grupos de heavy metal como Manowar,Magesty,Wizard,Virgin Steele,grandes pionero del epic o true metal, inspirando a grandes grupos de viking metal.

We heard that enemies were approaching from the south
We marched to face them, I killed their scout
But we were ambushed and slaughtered in the night
We fought so bravely but none were left alive
Now I open my eyes and what do I see
A rainbow in the moonlight, pipers calling me
They say don't be afraid and asked me to follow
You've been expected, so forget your sorrow!
[Chorus:]
Their warrior's souls forever rejoice
TWILIGHT TAVERN!
With our ancestors we raise our horns
TWILIGHT TAVERN!
Their warrior's swords forever shine on
TWILIGHT TAVERN!
Welcoming our brothers at the break of dawn!
TWILIGHT TAVERN!
[Bridge:]
Life is so short (Life is so short)
Oh! son of the north (Oh son of north)
You'll find your peace
At the end of your journey
[Solo]
[Verse:]
More greet us when we open the door
Familiar faces but the house is way too long
Beer is flowing, the smell of burning meat
In the morning battle raised (make helps me?) the least
As the sun sets behind the mountain's peak
The master of the house has made a feast
This is -- life is -- too good to be true
Take cover men, a battle will be here
Soon.
