Varang Nord interview

Varang Nord is a folk metal band from the cold woods of Latvia.  Founded in 2014, their music combines death metal riffs with epic lyrical themes and accordion accompaniment.  Lyrical themes reference Nordic culture, mighty battles, sacrifices to the Old Gods and festivities involving pints of ale.  One of their crowning achievements has been winning the Wacken Metal Battle in 2019, just before Covid -19 ravaged the world.  In 2021, their album ‘Pārķiuņa Uomurs’ was nominated as ‘Global Metal Release of the Year’.
The album was produced by the band and recorded at their personal studio. Mixing and mastering was by Gints Lundbergs at Latvian Sound Division Studio.
