Heidevolk - To release 'Wederkeer' Pagan Metal album

A Pagan Metal masterpiece is coming!!!

Since the release of their impressive 2005 debut 'De strijdlust is Geboren', Heidevolk have taken the heavy music scene by storm, conquering stages throughout the World with their very own brand of Pagan Folk Metal. Following their latest offering, the much-acclaimed 'Vuur van Verzet' (2015), on February the 24th, 2023 will see the Dutch band release their seventh studio masterpiece 'Wederkeer' through Napalm Records.

After previously released first album singles 'Klauwen Vooruit' and 'Drink met de Goden (Walhalla)', Heidevolk have premiered a brand new music video for the epic, acoustic album title track. In a World of myths, nature and legends of the Veluwe region of the Netherlands, the band’s upcoming concept album based on the interpretations of the runes 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 to find out who we are, what is driving us, what our values are, and what we’ve learned from life up until now. 

With dual clean vocals, irresistibly catchy songs, traditional instruments and fast Metal riffing all fueled by their Folkloric fire and Pagan pride, Heidevolk delivers an uncompromising sound and musical adventure. '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. The album was recorded at Sandlane Recording Facilities, mixed by Joost van den Broek and mastered by Darius van Helfteren. Heidevolk knows how to perfectly release proud hymns and direct, in your face Metal songs, and the addition of broad choirs and 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 album return for Heidevolk.
