I've been listening to/DJing funky house recently. Really great to dance too. here's a mix i did yesterday: www.megaupload.com/?d=41WYQERN
Amon Amarth- Live For the Kill
I picked up "Twilight of the Thunder God" for $11.88 at Newbury Comics. Two disc set including a live DVD. Pretty sweet deal, indeed. This was the first time in over a month I actually found a CD I was looking for in there. I feel like I'm cursed. Listening to obscure death metal bands is like searching for the goddanm Holy Grail, sometimes. AA is classified as "Viking Metal" though. While I was watching the live DVD, actors came out on stage and had a sword fight, clad in viking armor.
I lol'd.
Moonsorrow- Kivenkantaja & Rauniolla
Kick ass Finnish black metal. I just wish I knew what they were saying. I'm sure there are translations about somewhere, I just haven't looked. All I know is, it SOUNDS good. And that's what really matters. They could be singing "Rock-n-roll-Mcdonalds" in Finnish, and it would still be bad ass.
Perhaps not exactly the same style but you might want to try Wintersun and Ensiferum. Two really good finnish bands. Try f.e:
