New Wave of Folk Metal Tour

Descriere

This gig is part of the New Wave of Folk Metal tour uniting the forces of three East Central European modern folk metal bands.

NIBURTA is a modern folk metal band from Hungary, founded in 2009. From the beginning their aim was to innovate folk metal by combining heavily distorted low-pitch metal themes with Hungarian, Balkanic and oriental folk music. Their main influences come from world music and modern metal but electronic music, funky and jazz also play important role.

The name "Niburta" comes from the two-faced deity of the Scythian religion. He was both the god of war, giving warriors the fury to charge fearlessly into battle, and the god of agriculture, providing bountyful harvest to his followers. This bipolarity flows through the music of the band, combining the brutal sounds of modern metal with catchy and mystical tunes.

E-AN-NA is a folk metal/folkcore band from Romania, founded in 2014. The band plays a unique mixture between traditional romanian folklore tunes and modern metal elements, with influences varying from bands like Arkona and Eluveitie to more modern sounding ones, like Gojira and Born of Osiris.

The concept “E-an-na” represents mainly a metaphysical world where you can escape all the injustice and misdeeds of this world. The band released their debut EP "Jiana" in september 2016.

NETHERFELL is polish folk metal band. In their output elements of folk and early music are mixed with modern subgeners of metal music. The band uses a lot of traditional folk instruments like bagpipes, hurdy gurdy, balalaika, gusle, wooden flutes, and also some symphonic orchestrations.

The beginnings of the band reach 2008. After many lineup changes the band, containing Piotr (guitar, vocals), Ada (violin, vocals), Mateusz (drums) and Dawid (bass), releases debut EP called “Okryte Zapomnieniem” in 2013. In the meantime Wit (bagpipes, tin whistles) and Tomasz (scream, growl) joined the band. Since that time band has played many concerts, supporting popular folk metal bands such as Arkona, Alestorm, Dalriada and many others. The band also released first music video to track Mokosz. In 2014 Mateusz and Dawid left the band, replaced by Jakub (drums) and Łukasz (bass). In April 2015 Netherfell released its first full-leght album called "Między Wschodem a Zachodem" and after signing to german label NOIZGATE Records officialy re-released it under english title "Between East And West" in October 2015.

Although 2016 brings some line-up changes, band played polish tour, supported band Eluveitie and keep working on new album to be released at the end of 2017.
