Heidevolk - 'Wederkeer' (official music video)
Verlangend naar de zegetocht
Onder vaandels van het vaderland
Vechtend immer voor de eer
Gelovend in de wederkeer
Met onbesuisde krijgslust
Verankerd in ons beminde land
Speermannen aan de top van het krijt
De Carnyx klinkt aan de overkant
Beroofd van ons geloof en trots
Is het leven ons niets meer waard
Onze kracht zit diep geworteld
Onbereikbaar voor het langste zwaard

Δισκογραφική επιστροφή μετά από μία τριετία για τους Heidevolk. Ο διάδοχος του album "Vuur van verzet" και έβδομος συνολικά "ολοκληρωμένος" δίσκος των Ολλανδών Viking / folk metallers φέρει τον τίτλο "Wederkeer" και έχει προγραμματισθεί να κυκλοφορήσει στα τελειώματα του χειμώνα, με την μπάντα να μας λέει:
Οι Heidevolk σχηματίσθηκαν στο Άρνεμ πριν από είκοσι χρόνια και μας συστήνονται κάπως έτσι:
Δελτίο τύπου: «Five years since their much-acclaimed album Vuur van verzet, early 2023 will see Dutch folk metal collective Heidevolk return with their seventh studio album via Napalm Records, continuing to keep the pagan flame burning!
Ever since their impressive 2005 debut, De strijdlust is geboren, Heidevolk has taken the heavy music scene by storm, conquering stages throughout the world with their very own brand of folk metal. With dual clean vocals, irresistibly catchy songs, traditional instruments and fast metal riffing all fueled by their folkloric fire and pagan pride, Heidevolk delivers for an uncompromising sound and musical adventure.
Their new masterpiece, Wederkeer, makes no exception, and proves why the Arnhem-based six-piece is one of the best, unrivaled and most exciting bands of their genre and beyond!
In a world of myths, nature and legends of the Veluwe, Netherlands, the concept album is a powerful odyssey of the Self, deeply rooted in metal and folklore. Wederkeer (meaning to “return” or “revive”) invites the listener to take a step back from the incessant barrage of media and stimuli and look inside, find out who we are, what is driving us, what our values are, and what we’ve learned from life up until now.
While each of the twelve new songs individually deal with an aspect of this in mostly story form, Heidevolk knows how to perfectly unleash proud hymns and direct, in-your-face metal songs! Tracks such as “Klauwen Vooruit” or the epic “De Strijd Duurt Voort” immediately kick off with the raw pagan metal power Heidevolk are loved for - merging folkloric soundscapes, fast-paced riffs and ultralarge choirs.
They also underline the progression of their songwriting and never forget their pagan roots on profound, emotionally haunting songs such as “Drink met de Goden (Walhalla)” or the epic neofolk acoustic album title track “Wederkeer”.
Various folk musicians on vocals, violins, cello, bukkehorns and more traditional medieval instruments make Wederkeer not only a bombastic folk and pagan metal record at its best, but a glorious return of Heidevolk!»
«We’re incredibly excited to present you the first song and music video of our new album. "Klauwen Vooruit" (The Hunter's Claw) brings you the story about the extraordinary pact between Wolf and Raven. A bond between predator and scavenger where ravens alert wolves to nearby prey. The wolves respond to the raven’s call, kill the prey, eat their share and leave the carcass for the ravens to feast on... And there is more coming up, a lot more!»
Οι Heidevolk σχηματίσθηκαν στο Άρνεμ πριν από είκοσι χρόνια και μας συστήνονται κάπως έτσι:
«Few could have envisioned the bright future that the Norns had in store for Heidevolk back in 2002. Since its inception in Arnhem (the Netherlands), Heidevolk came, saw, and conquered stages throughout Europe with their very own brand of folk metal.
Instantly recognizable dual clean male vocals and irresistibly catchy songs have ignited the pagan fire in the souls of many on the continent. They deliver their songs on divine matters and profane pleasures with equal integrity, fueled by a folkloric fire and pagan pride.
With a repertoire ranging from epic to raging, captivating live shows and an undying desire to perform, Heidevolk has become a familiar face in Europe and in North and South America. Heidevolk stands for an uncompromising attitude, intense shows, and the transcendence of barriers between performer and audience... even if you don’t speak the language!»
