I'm speaking about nordic folklore, so Edvard Grieg. I'm not sure the metal music could ever scare the same way Grieg's symphony did back then.

Tbf while it is great peer gynt isn't that frightening either, reminds me of Looney Tunes.

Savatage fucking rules too though, and I just remembered Rainbow also has a song by that title too which also rules!

When all you can see outside the window is the pitch black forest and the moon over the looming mountains in the valley, and your dad start telling you tales of dangerous troll lurking in the forest, The Hall of Mountain King got a different mood over it. Especially when your father is telling you that as the music is reaching its prestissimo finale the troll in the tale is running towards your house lol.

Especially with pictures like this on the wall

Any metal band that want to draw inspiration from the nordics outside of norse mythology are bound to stumble upon Grieg and Ibsen so that checks out.
