Music genre
As is common in medieval rock, Ragnaröek use traditional instruments such as the bagpipes . However, the traditional share is significantly lower than in comparable bands in the genre. Influences of the New German Hardness as well as elements of music from the black scene can be heard especially on their second album. Therefore, their music is to be settled in the harder area of medieval rock. Their style of music is usually referred to as medieval metal.
