Corvus Corax
I found Corvus Corax while browsing around Facebook. I forget which of my friends was part of a fan community, but I was curious (I can't resist a Latin name, and there was a mention of half-naked men with bagpipes)
The music is just amazing. It's like a pagan processional. They're singing in a mixture of German and Latin and there's a very medieval feel to it all.
A quick look at Wikipedia says that they tried to research how old music would have been and they use apropriate instruments and the like.
Broad hint to family - a CD of one of their live concerts would be a very acceptable Xmas present. (there is an English language web site with a shop)

My German friends think their best stuff was done in the early '90s - their later albums being deemed too 'commercial', but ymmv.
