Kvervandi means ‘turning’ or ‘whirling’ and is lyric-wise rather playfully displaying the various cycles of nature and of life from a Norse perspective. The song itself is heavy, slow moving, emotional and uncompromising just like the turning wheels of nature.
Their collaboration from last year was excellent too.

And while not viking rock/metal, the song you submitted (which was great BTW) reminded me of a couple throat singing Mongolian rock/metal bands that I listen to, which you may enjoy as well.
Einar Selvik's work is pretty unique. Dark Folk and Neofolk are good keywords for similar-ish stuff. Faun, Neun Welten, and Wolcensmen are good places to start. For viking metal, start where it...

For viking metal, start where it all began with Bathory. Then jump into Einherjer, Enslaved, Heidevolk,Månegarm, Romuvos, Scald, Thyrfing etc (I don't want to overwhelm with links).
For folk metal, Skyforger and Skyclad are the earliest examples, but I don't think they're very good. Try Primordial, Falkenbach, Vintersorg, Windir for 90s style folk metal. Ensiferum is kinda where the modern sound comes in, along with Moonsorrow, Korpiklaani, Turisas, Arkona, Týr etc. The big names pretty much dominate the scene; there's lots of copycats but they don't add much.

You'll probably also like Agalloch and Nechochwen.
