Wizzard

The promo label on Devilmusick tabbed this Finnish band as "biker death metal", and while labelling these guys as death metal would be inaccurate, the biker tag has some merit. Musically the style is sort of a Manowar/ Motorhead hybrid, ranging from speedy uptempo songs to slower, more anthemic tracks. The vocals are of a gruff black metal style for the most part, but are mostly spoken rather than sung, which is kind of a neat effect. Several songs have backing chanting choirs (at least that's what it sound like), furthering the Manowar comparison (another band that came to mind when listening to Devilmusick is 80's Swedish metallers Heavy Load). Apparently the other albums are of a different style, as they were last touting themselves as "black heavy metal", though probably not black metal in the traditional sense.
