sems like youre singing some nice songs, got any music to share?

I have tried SO many times to upload my CD but for some reason every computer has some kind of issue. I can give you my web site to check out:

sevenkingdoms.net *under media*
myspace.com/sevenkingdoms <~main web page for music browsing :O)

Yeahg, i found it already. It's really good. I got a hard time writing this so it wont sound like critique, becasue you really don't do anything wrong, but something that might spark more interest in the music and make people lsiten could be to try and find a unique subject to sing about, take the epic sorta powermetal sound and apply it to something that its not usually applied on. Running wild did something like that with priates for example. It could be done for just a song that can catch peoples interest.

Well we write about actual Viking History and then make up a few story in that general direction, plus a few inspirational and what nots

Cool! there's a few swedish band that does that, my favorite is Hel http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpROmRKp-5w It's kinda hard to fully like them though, since a lot of those bands are horribly nationalistic (read:racist). It's good that a non-swedish band does it, you guys can do it without national-romantic ideas get in the way.

I kinda hope that one day a metal band will do a song based on Watership Down, that'd be cool...

LOL yea There is nothing buthard core where I live....

And ALL they seem to be able to write about is killing babies in blenders and what have you.
Its nice to be involved in actual music with meaning not vulgarity

I suspect that a lot of hardcore metal band play that way because they lack ability to make actual, good-sounding music. Though I have heard a few female growl-singers that was quite impressive, its interesting to hear one singer manage the "Beuity and the beast" style vocals all by themselves... Sweden is quite big on Power Metal, and there's a lot of hardcore metal in scandinavia too, espescially in Norway if I dont remember wrong.
When it comes to swedish powermetal, I recommend Falconer if you havent heard them. They ocassionally does metal versions of swedish folk music, and those are the songs I enjoy the most.

you should check out Nocturnal rites... they are an AWESOME band.
