## Summary

Viking formed in 1990 when guitarist Hank Shermann and drummer Jan Geneberg started playing together. Their debut album 'Man of Straw' came out in 1991, followed by 'Wizards of Time' in 1993. They've kept releasing music since, including 'Burning Ships' in 2019. Their song 'Blood Eagle' references a specific Viking ritual and has drawn attention for its graphic subject matter. Other tracks like 'Warlord' and '1488' appear in their catalog...
