Article description

Comes in a Digipak.

Five years after their celebrated album 'VUUR VAN VERZET,' the Dutch folk metal collective HEIDEVOLK returns in early 2023 with their seventh studio album, keeping the pagan flame mighty ablaze! Since their impressive 2005 debut 'De strijdlust is geboren,' HEIDEVOLK has stormed the stages of the metal scene with their unique and irresistible style of folk and pagan metal. Double, clear male vocals in catchy songs, traditional instruments, and furious metal riffs fueled by folkloric fire and pagan pride invite HEIDEVOLK on a musical adventure of a very special kind with their uncompromising sound.

Their new masterpiece 'WEDERKEER' is no exception and proves why the quintet from Arnhem is one of the best, undisputed, and most exciting bands in their genre and beyond! In a world full of myths, nature, and legends of Veluwe in the Netherlands, the latest concept album is an odyssey to the self, always deeply rooted in metal and folklore. 'WEDERKEER' (Return) reminds us to take a break from all media and look inward to find out who we are, what drives us, what our values are, and what we have learned from life so far. While each of the twelve new songs individually addresses an aspect, mostly as a story, HEIDEVOLK once again perfectly ignites grand anthems and straight in-your-face metal songs!

Singles like 'Klauwen Vooruit' or the epic 'De Strijd Duurt Voort' start directly with the raw pagan metal power for which HEIDEVOLK is known, blending folkloric soundscapes with razor-sharp fast riffs and oversized choirs. However, HEIDEVOLK always proves their progress in songwriting and never forgets their pagan roots, whether in deeply moving songs like 'Drink met de Goden (Walhalla)' or the epic acoustic album title track 'Wederkeer.' Various folk musicians on vocals, violins, cello, bukkehorns, and many other medieval traditional instruments make 'WEDERKEER' not only a bombastic folk and pagan metal record that is unparalleled, but also a glorious return of HEIDEVOLK!
