Vikingarock
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Vikingarock (Swedish for "viking rock") is a rock music genre that takes much of its themes from 19th century viking romaticism, mixing it with rockabilly, oi!, streetpunk and folk elements. It is generally associated with Nordic nationalism and often linked to White Power. Many record companies make no distinction between vikingarock and white power music.
There is debate whether vikingarock is racist. Major bands like Ultima Thule have denounced racism and xenophobia, but they are still popular in the white supremacist community.
Examples:
- Ultima Thule
- Hel
- Odins Änglar
- Völund Smed
The above examples are all Swedish.
