Yea, it is written in the Book of Cyril...
Well, that's pretty much what "sapphic" means, isn't it? Personally, I take greater issue with the word "viking" as used here.

In part, yes, although it does have other connotations.
Okay, but just to be clear here, I'm not taking issue with crossfire. I'm just curious. And talking about the word "viking," how about the Minnesota Vikings Football Team. Do you take issue with their use of the name as well.

In the context of a group of young ladies, though?
I don't have a problem with sports teams named after things, that's a generally accepted thing, even if it's a fairly hyperbolic name. Crossfire seems to have a fuzzy idea of what a viking actually is, though, and it was him who called them that. I've spent a lot of time studying Scandinavian history, so mischarecterisation of Vikings is a bit of a pet hate of mine. Almost as much as people who refer to "coats of arms" as "family crests".
OK, then put imaginary "quote marks" around "Viking" in the title of the thread. (Aren't the kittens cute?)

Not necessarily in the context of a group of young ladies, but in the context of subject and music. Under the word "sapphic" the Merriam-Webster Dictionary says:
"The poet Sappho wrote poems of self-reflection but also of passion."
"They were written in an original rhythmical pattern, which has become known as sapphic verse."

I acknowledge it's my issue. Don't mind me.

Does this band perform in sapphic verse, though?

"Viking Metal" is a music genre name used since at least the 90s...
(albeit the border between it and Pagan Metal, Folk Metal etc. are quite fuzzy from my impression.)
The music of this band is not what is normally referred to as Viking (or Pagan etc.) Metal. Seems rather like Hard Rock or Heavy Metal with perhaps some Thrash Metal influence. Not like I'm good at determining genres, though.
And I don't see how wearing antlers would make one associated with vikings.

What? Me worry?
Of course that's offensive. With their caliber of play of late can they really be called a Football Team?

Don't have the faintest idea.

It would have sounded better if they'd let the kittens play the instruments and sing.

That was great. (It's not exactly the thing that evokes belly laughs, though.)

True. I became impressed with the genre
Folk Industrial because of them.
Got curious cuz I wondered how that would ever fit , and damned if they didn't pull it off really well.
My musical fun has always came from Doctor Demento.
