 Helheim was another major pioneer in the early scene . The webzine Laut.de states that Helheim emerged on the scene before other bands such as Einherjer and Thyrfing , when even Enslaved was in its infancy . According to the site , not only was Helheim one of the first bands to meld black metal with Viking themed @-@ music , but one of the first to include stylistically unconventional instruments such as horns and violins . Robert Müller considers the song " Galder " , the final track from Helheim 's 1995 debut album Jormundgand , the death blow to Viking metal emerging as a concrete genre , since the ambitious track even went beyond compatibility with heavy metal .
