Actually the idea of Ragnarok was something very much taken from Norse mythology by Christianity; as Ragnarok is merely another of those cycles which you spoke of. Remember that in the tale of Ragnarok it was told that two humans, a male and female, would take shelter under Yggdrasil. Afterword they are destined to build a new world. Christianity was basically a stapling of transcendental ideas from Eastern mysticism and Paganism onto Judaic materialism.

I think those two groups in particular are far more rhythmically focused than Summoning, and are also responsible for employing short, rock-based riff cycles. Summoning tends to envelop the listener not through merely harmonizing layers, but through allowing each instrument only to be used as it contributes, or using each melodic voice as a passage to embellish themes and counter-themes.

I find that interesting since JRR Tolkien and CS Lewis - the writer of The Chronicles of Narnia - were good friends.
