Viking rock

Viking rock

Viking rock (Vikingarock in Swedish) is a rock music genre that takes much of its themes from 19th century Viking romanticism, mixing it with rockabilly, oi!/streetpunk and folk elements. Frequent themes occurring in Viking rock include Vikings and Norse mythology, as well as Sweden's King Karl XII and the Caroleans.

Viking rock is generally associated with Nordic nationalism,Fact|date=April 2008 and often linked to white supremacy.
