Eivør

So says Eivør – vocalist, instrumentalist and songwriter with a voice of rare beauty and power – when asked about where she gets her inspiration. These aren’t just words as she has relentlessly pursued music ever since dedicating her life to it at the tender age of fifteen.

Born in 1983 in the Faroe Islands, Eivør’s early musical forays were steeped in Faroese musical traditions. At the age of sixteen she released her self-titled debut album bearing the marks of this fruitful starting point. While an enduring love of Faroese culture remains at the heart of her work, its expression has been widened through profound interaction with other traditions.

Eivør’s musical palette has broadened since her folk beginnings as her albums and performances variably have included jazz, country folk, big band stylings, classical influences, and trip hop tinted rock. As of late, she has consolidated these experimental inputs into her own style of folktronica with heartfelt lyrical observations of life as it unfolds.

Eivør is now based in Denmark. Her music covers a wide musical and emotional range. She remains a voice unique in its intimacy, its effortless virtuosity and range of colours, evident from her first recording all the way through to her tenth album Slør from 2015. The english version of Slør was released in May 2017. The release sees Eivør entering the UK market performing on BBC’s Jools Holland and a sold out UK tour in June with a follow-up tour later in 2017. As always, she is a riveting live performer with a vivacious and warm stage presence.

Her career has thus far been a testament to the fact that there is indeed music in every situation. Yet it takes a skilled artist to be able to grasp and express this music and Eivør is such an artist; an acclaimed vocalist/composer at the peak of her powers.

HUGSJÁ

After the success of their previous collaboration "Skuggsjá"; Ivar Bjørnson (Enslaved) and Einar Selvik (Wardruna) are now following up with an imposing new piece entitled "Hugsjá". The word 'Hugsjá' means to see with, or within, the mind - and it reflects the idea that one's mind has the potential to see further than the eyes can reach. By weaving together indigenous and contemporary thoughts, sounds and instruments, they are inviting you on a vivid journey - exploring the distant history and traditions along coastal Norway.

Hugsjá was first commissioned by, and performed at, Bergen International Festival in 2017, as part a series of concerts named Nordvegen ("the northern road"); inspired by local history and traditions in each of the places visited. Ultimately the material was recorded and became this full-length album.

Orfeo

“From fairytale metal to rocking balfolk” (Folkforum.nl). The five multi-instrumentalists of Orfeo come from different backgrounds like medieval music, classical music, rock, metal and celtic folk and all these influences are prominent in the music they make today. These friends do not only mix various genres but also different instruments like harp, hurdy-gurdy, flute, bass guitar, electric guitar and drums.

Several folkbals and stages have met Orfeo, also festivals such as the Elf Fantasy Fair, Folkwoods, Summer Darkness, Castlefest and the Midvinterfestival in Denmark.

In may 2014 Orfeo presents her second album Terra Amorosa. It contains one traditional and eleven tunes, composed by the band members themselves.

Orfeo is: Erica (wooden flute and overtone flute), Lies (harp and hurdy-gurdy), Marco (12-stringed acoustic guitar, electric guitar, alto hurdy-gurdy and theremin),  Richard (bass guitar, 8-stringed bass guitar, bass clarinet and Bes clarinet
) and Rutger (drums and percussion).

The members of Orfeo are also involved in other musical projects such as Rama, Ball Noir and Kelten zonder Grenzen. The Orfeo’s themselves are also very fond of dancing and can be found on many a folkbal!

Laochra New Single

Laochra has released a single on bandcamp to ring in the new year! It is entitled the ‘Sword of Stars’, it follows faolan as he quests to acquire the Oakenhelm and find his kin.

FängörN

Beginning concert activity in 2008, now FängörN takes one of the leading places among the variety of folk metal scene in St. Petersburg. For long time band is a well-deserved leader among Russian folk groups.In the asset of group - 5 years of activity, the two studio albums. Geography of regular gigs is constantly expanding and has long moved beyond his native city.

The first FängörN’s album «Mysterious Land» (2009) was mixed Anssi Kippo, known for his work with Children of Bodom, Impaled Nazarene, Norther, To / Die / For, in the Finnish studio Astia-Studios, and was released on the German label Purity Through Fire. Album immediately received positive feedback from the media and the audience, and the band's sound has caused comparison with the main "vikings" of folk metal Ensiferum. However, after the release of the second, the concept album «Where The Tales Live On» (2012), which was released on the Russian label Sound Age, it became clear that the band already has its own recognizable style and at the same time - a lot of musical ideas that are organically weaved together. So, on the album «Where The Tales Live On» flute, violin and percussion successfully complete the "classic" set of musical instruments, but certainly not lead away from the best traditions of heavy metal.

However, Fangorn is well-known on Russian folk metal scene not only by released albums, but first of all – by qualitive and as a consequence by unforgettable live performances. According to critics (both in Russia and abroad), Fangorn’s music is worthwhile example of European level’s folk metal. The band completely justifies its name - as well as the forest from Tolkien's trilogy (namely band named in his honor), music of Fangorn promises a lot of amazing discoveries.

Melodic and at the same time hard energy of the compositions, the conceptual lyrics - everyone will find under the arches of Fangorn what is meant by the term "real quality folk metal" exactly.

Fferyllt

The story of the band with mysterious name “Fferyllt” is tracing its roots back to late autumn of 2003, when keyboarder Dmitry Eliseev began to think about creation of a musical project, which's main concept would be his native religion – Western-European Paganism. The path of it lies trough distant North, trough the traditions of Norsemen and Celts. Asatru and Druidism became main burdens in Diarmaid's songs. The first staff had gathered in spring of 2007, when Вю Eliseev together with guitarist Alexey Godlewsky start to work with the material and record first demos.

In May 2007-th female singer Yanina Zelenskaya, bassist Alexander Lebedev, vocalist Rustam Borzov, and guitarist Andrew Awdick had joined the staff.

After some gigs in such staff, the band begins recording of debut album called "Dance of Druids". The spirit of the album became authentic West-European instruments (bagpipe, flute, bodhran), as well as variations of celtic melodies. After signing of contract with the lable "Stygian Crypt Productions" in August, 2008, the band undergoes changes in staff. The bassist Alexander Lebedev, vocalist Rustam Borzov and guitarist Alexey Godlewsky had left the band. Soon after that, drummer Eugeny Martynov, guitarist George Tsedov, and bassist Sergey Gritsay had joined the staff.

On February 9-th, 2009, the band’s members’ most wishful event came true – Fferyllt’s debut album "Dance of Druids" was brought out on Stygian Crypt Prods. At the same time the band releases its first promo-video for the song “Yule”. Soon after the release, drummer E. Martynov and bassist S. Gritsay . A. Awdick and singer Y. Zelenskaya left the band.

In December 2009 two members – Alexander Lebedev and Alexey Godlewsky had returned into the band’s staff, and a new member, who had taken a part in songwriting for the debut album, Alexander “O’Kella” Davtyan, joined the staff again. On December 31-th, the band grants to its listeners an internet-single called “Thurisaz”.

In May 2010 Anastasia Ovcharenko had joined the band as a female singer.

The band gives a series of concerts. Krasnodar broadcaster NTK shoots a short-length documentary about the band. For this documentary Fferyllt had recorded 5 songs from their repertoire in “Studio Live” format.

In Autumn 2010 Anastasia leaves the band because of state of her health. Not long before A. Lebedev and A. Davtyan quited the staff. The bassist’s place was taken by Vladimir Poznyanskiy, and the frontman’s vacant seat – by Alexander Lopatin.

After productive three-months collaboration with the band as a guest musician, bassist Vladimir Poznyansky has joined the band.

Wyrdamur

Wyrdamur was founded in August 2009, in Murcia, by brothers Enrique and Guillermo Barranco.

From the beginning, they composed their first songs, but given the traditional origin of the group they made some adaptations of properly Medieval compositions.

At the time of putting a name to the group, they were inspired by the runic language, using "Wyrda / Wyrd", which would be the white rune of Destiny and "Mur", morpheme of the place of origin, so Wyrdamur means "Destination of Murcia "

Even so, the Wyrdamur Universe is a whole world, which we transfer to other times when necessary.

Narrated on the stories, myths and legends of Ireland described in the "Lebor Gabála Érenn".

We grow in a framework whose literary genre is the "uchronía", which is characterized by creating a plot, based on a past event.

Thus the passion for mystery and mythology, as well as a group of friends who for their experiences and way of being, definitely consolidate this path through the album "In Praebibo Mortis".

In this way, looking for our own style, which we have baptized as "Brutal Folk", we define ourselves as musicians who have moved Heavy Metal (including other forceful rhythms), to medieval times with instruments from that moment in history, although in an updated way.

Greenland Whalefishers

Greenland Whalefishers started out in Bergen Norway in 1994, long before anyone had heard of bands like Flogging Molly or Dropkick Murphys. Combining british punk with celtic folk influences, the band soon became one of the most interesting post-pogues bands .

More than two decades of touring all around the world performing sparkling live shows, releasing nine full length albums, DVD documentary movie, piles of singles, EPs and split-releases, contributing with music to the movie “Boondock Saints – All Saints Day”, places the underground folk punkers in Greenland Whalefishers as one of the worlds most credible celtic rock bands.

Greenland Whalefishers’ album “SONGS FROM the BUNKER” was rated to a fifth place by Shite N’ Onions on the list over the best Celtic Punk CDs in 2010.  Shite N’ Onions also placed Greenland Whalefishers’ album “Loboville” on their list of the “10 BEST CELTIC PUNK ALBUMS EVER”, above artists like Dropkick Murphys and Shane MacGowan.

In 2014 the band celebrated their 20th anniversary.

As a part of the celebration Greenland whalefishers released the documentary movie “20 Years Of Waiting” covering the entire history of the band. The movie gained fantastic reviews:

“all was answered and more by this amazing Rockumentary celebrating 20 years of one of the greatest Paddy Punk bands in the world ever.”

Greenland Whalefishers have toured in the USA, Japan, England, Germany, Italy, Scotland, Poland, Czeck Republic, The Netherlands, Belgium etc, and will continue touring all over with more power and energy than ever on what may be called their never ending world tour. It is all this hard work and all the experience touring that has made critics applaud the bands albums and concerts saying;

” this is probably one of the best Celtic Punk bands you will ever see perform live

Hávamál Band

Hávamál is a metal band founded in 2014 by Niklas Geist as a side project of the (no longer existing) band Dreamworker from Hanau, Germany.

Topically, the band resides mostly within paganism and pagan cultures around the world, lyrical mysticism and history.

Originally thought to be Pagan Folk Metal with Black Metal elements as well, the project now integrates elements of Folklore from all over the world and also slight rythmical aspects of Metalcore, as influenced by our Syrian drummer, into its typically rather long songs. 

After a long period of seeking new band members, the band welcomed their new members, Johnny, the drummer, and Smoji, 2nd Guitar, in addition to Melvyn (Guitar), Niklas (Keyboard), JJ (Vocals/ Folk Instruments).

Since late spring 2016, Bianca has joined the crew, offering her voice as well as playing folk instruments.

Along came another musician who had already been a member at the very beginning of this project, Vincent Lux (Bass), who, in early 2017, has become a full-on band member again.

Always accompanied by a music seeming out of forgotten and forgotten ages, the Compagnie Tan Elleil takes you to the tenuous border between dream, reality and immortal legends.

When dance and music mingle,

Sharing fragments of forgotten dreams,

Wild creatures and dreamlike characters

Show themselves to men.

Waldkauz

Songs about ancient magic, the wisdom of nature and the intoxication of dance.

Above all this, the band sings and plays their songs. Sometimes tender, spherical and dreamy, sometimes rhythmic, demanding and fast, the pieces are heard from the stage.

However, the legends and myths of the old days, whose power and mystery resonate to this day in the music of WALDKAUZ, remain a binding theme.

On old and modern instruments WALDKAUZ play their very own version of Pagan Folk, mix traditional ideas from all over Europe and combine it with their own ideas to something completely new. Powerful drums meet tender flute sounds and buzzing bouzouki sounds play mystical harp melodies.

In 2017, the four young musicians from Hildesheim can look back on a four-year joint live experience. These include festivals such as the Hörnerfest, WGT or the Autumn Moon Festival.

They also won the Newcomer Award of the Festival Mediaval in 2016 and played at numerous dates of the Medieval Fantasy Spectaculum (MPS).

Heimsgard

During the year 2012, the first compositions of Heimsgard are born, forged cold by the impulses of inspiration of Raido. Satisfied with his work still fragmenting, he reaped the fruits of his inspiration left to decant and allowed to improve all ideas until maturation. It is only in 2014 that the name of Heimsgard will adorn the label of its future first vintage: "Ordrag", which will be bottled at the autumnal equinox 2015. Shaped with the hammer of Thor, decked with melodies epic and folk, racy but with hints of paganism and Scandinavian folklore, Heimsgard offers a pagan / folk metal powerful and easygoing. The moorings are dropped and the Heimsgard raids are just beginning.
