Huldre is a great band from Denmark. I have seen them on stage (during Trolls et Légendes in Mons) and am now looking forward to review their newest album. For now you can have this first taster and I hope you are hungry for more!
For those who still have to discover these talented people i'll drop you some info:
Huldre is the elegant fusion of Nordic folk music and metal. Here wolves, forest nymphs and trolls mingle in the wonderful contrasts between catchy melodies, sonorous atmospheres and heavy rhythms. The sound is Nordic and medieval and the lyrics weave Nordic folklore and mythology into the brutal riffs.
Huldres sound is unique - as a beautiful bastard that might count Lumsk, Korpiklaani and Eluveitie among its numerous parents. An intense hurdy-gurdy and flute entangled with vivid violin on the solid ground of thundering guitar, bass and drums topped by an almost unearthly beautiful female voice might give a hint of the sound universe.
Live Huldre delivers a tremendous show where the audience is seduced into sweaty stomp dance among sirens, trolls, metal heads and other underground creatures.
