Fantasy metal

[Deadbolt85]

Hey, I was wondering if any of you could reccomend any metal bands that use fantasy themes in their lyrics/image? I've recently become addicted to The Sword and 3 inches of blood as well as Amon Amarth, and was wondering if their were any others out ther singing about the same stuff ( wizards dragons, battles, high adventure) please and thank you.

There's this new Lord of the Rings metal band you may have heard of I believe they are going by the name of "Lead Zeppelin" or somesuch.


In all seriousness though, I don't understand why anyone would listen to an entire genre of music derivative of Jethro Tull's unbelievably gay period.

Lead zepeplin, eh? haha,

but seriously, I just like it, because I'ma fantasy nerd, there I said it, and it's refreshing to hear something other than "life sucks, party, party, party, murder,murder,sex,sex,sex" in music, especially metal nowadays.
