Fredlös – ‘Fredlös’ (2023)

Posted on 11 December 2022 by Michel1 February 2023

Rating: 9/10 Release: 10 February 2023 Label: Threeman Reco­rdings Fredlös are a new Folk Metal band from the small Swedish to­wn of Norrtälje and feature among its ranks, none other than former Entombed gu­itarist, Alex Hellid. With that elephant removed from the room, I’m sure you are more interested in … Continue reading →

Kryvoda – ‘Kryvoda’ (2022)

Posted on 14 November 2022 by Michel14 December 2022

Rating: 9.5/10 Release: 21 October 2022 Label: Independent / Bandcamp Somewhat surprising, but it is unquestionably worth the wait. Bringing to mind such Pagan Folk Metal heavyweights as Obtest, Skyforger and Metsatöll, this is a definite statement of intent from this young (ish) five-piece. When I pressed play on my … Continue reading →

Alvenrad – ‘Veluws IJzer’ (2022)

Posted on 10 October 2022 by Michel21 December 2022

Rating: 9/10 Release: 23 September 2022 Label: Independent At its heart Alvenrad’s sound is a bombastic take on melodic blackened folk metal, but they enrich and elevate it with innovative prog flourishes, orchestral strings, wind instruments and vocals ranging from rasping black metal to soaring clean singing and choral chants. … Continue reading →

Hordak – ‘Los gigantes del bosque’ (2022)

Posted on 13 September 2022 by Michel1 February 2023

Rating: 8/10 Release: 24 June 2022 Label: Independent  first came across Hordak way back in 2006 on their “The Last European Wolves” album and have followed them, sporadically, ever since, so I knew what to expect from their new offering. Or so I thought. The opening track is a blend … Continue reading →

Månegarm Open Air (2022)

Posted on 12 September 2022 by Michel13 September 2022

After two years of being postponed, for obvious reasons, the Folk Metal faithful were finally able to descend on the small Swedish town of Norrtälje for the second installment of Månegarm Open Air. Thankfully the line-up from the planned 2020 festival remained mostly unchanged as the majority of the bands, … Continue reading →

Manntra – ‘Kreatura’ (2022)

Posted on 20 August 2022 by Michel20 August 2022

Rating: 9/10 Release: 12 August 2022 Label: NoCut Enterta­inment As soon as you press play, you’re met with the keyboard int­ro of Volhov, which wouldn’t be out of place on a modern Me­lodic Death Metal al­bum. I have to admit that this threw me a little at first, but as … Continue reading →

Trollfest – ‘Flamingo Overlord’ (2022)

Posted on 30 June 2022 by Michel30 June 2022

Rating: 7.5/10 Release: 27 May 2022 Label: Napalm Records Let’s start by addressing the (pink) elephant in the room… This is not the album I expected Trollfest to make in 2022. After all, they’ve spent the best part of two decades releasing seven albums of high octane, fast and furious … Continue reading →

Helsótt – ‘Will and the Witch’ (2022)

Posted on 22 May 2022 by Michel12 August 2022

Rating: 8/10 Release: 20 May 2022 Label: M-Theory Audio Helsótt’s third album is an ambitious record. Whereas their two previous releases stuck very much to the tried and tested Folk Metal thematic tropes of Norse Mythology and Pagan history, this time around they have thrown their fanbase a real curveball … Continue reading →

Theigns & Thralls – ‘Theigns & Thralls’ (2022)

Posted on 12 March 2022 by Michel12 March 2022

Rating: 7/10 Release: 8 April 2022 Label: Rockshot Records I’ll start with a caveat; I’m a huge Skyclad fan. In fact, they are my favourite Folk Metal band and one of my all-time favourite bands, full stop. With that in mind, given that Theigns & Thralls is a new project … Continue reading →

Verikalpa – ‘Tunturihauta’ (2022)

Posted on 26 February 2022 by Michel26 February 2022
Verikalpa - Tunturhauta

Rating: 9/10 Release: 21 January 2022 Label: Scarlet Records / Bandcamp Verikalpa are the next in a line of great Folk Metal bands from Finland, following in the footsteps of such luminaries as Moonsorrow, Finntroll, Korpiklaani, Ensiferum and Turisas.​ Lofty company indeed, but with this, their third album, Verikalpa have … Continue reading →
