Themed Bands

Is there any bands who have Norse or Greek mythological themes?

well just to continue the "themed" bands thing, i noticed some themes in cd releases by other bands:

Jag Panzer - Thane to the Throne
the first half of the cd is about Hamlet and the second half is about Macbeth

Iced Earth:
The Dark Saga is about Spawn
Horror Show is about various horror movie icons: The Mummy, Frankenstein, Wolfman, The Omen, Jack the Ripper, Creature of the Black Lagoon, Dracula, Phantom of the Opera


can anyone think of any other ones?

Go to http://www.metal-archives.com and search by lyrical themes. There's a few I guess, mostly from Greece...

im actually interested in greek myth themed stuff. it seems everyone in the world is hailing odin or some shit. like some japanese or brazillian "true norwegian black metal" band is really stepping up to the plate with the whole creativity angle.


hopefully they all dont sound like darkthrone.
