Týr
Týr is a band from the Faroe Islands. They are in the genre "Viking Metal". For those of you that might not know, they take old Viking folk songs and re-write them to modern sounds.
Some don't like the band because of some of the symbolism they use. What they are doing is using the symbols of pre-Christan Nordic religions. Unfortunately, the Nazis also took these symbols and changed the symbolism of them. This doesn't mean that this band, or others like them, are racist however. They are just proud of their pre-Nazi and pre-Christian ancestors.

Inkubus Sukkubus
This band has a unique sound, and is religious in nature. I admit I haven't listened to all of their music yet, so I'm not sure if any can be used as Sabbat music, but anything is possible.

Celtic Woman
Celtic Woman is a band of Irish women who perform traditional Irish/Celtic music. They have beautiful singing voices, and the violinist flits around the stage while playing fast music. It almost feels like she really is a fairy flying around the stage.
Although they do sing some obviously Christian tunes, I would still consider some of their traditional music pagan. They are a great choice for a New Age music library.
