Not much usually. Viking metal is only about Vikings, whereas folk metal can have lyrics about anything. Folk metal often has more "folk" elements than Viking metal too. Compare the bands Arokna (folk metal) with Thyrfing (Viking metal).

What bands from the Viking Metal or Folk Metal or War Metal genres might I like coming from a preference of Symphonic metal and female-fronted metal?
Look up Turisas. The song is Battle Metal. Freakin Epic. Celesty are also good, and Ensiferum, although they do growl. Have you tried Cradle of Filth or Dimmu Borgir? They can be a good place to start on black metal (from whence Viking and folk and symphonic metal came) although they've pretty much left the ranks of black metal credibility.
