Heidevolk – Uit Oude Grond
Genre: Pagan Folk Metal
Label: Napalm Records
A pretty damn good metal album sits here in the arms of Heidevolk, full of Dutch lyrics, heavy guitars, and epic traditional instruments.
From Gelderland, a province of the Netherlands, Heidevolk use the history of their homeland to weave these folk metal songs. I just wish I understood Dutch, I’d be having a great history lesson right now! My favorite track is the faster paced “Dondergod”, with the slightly slower “Gelders Lied” right behind it.
If you like mandolins and violins and pounding drums joining forces, raise your mead horns high to Heidevolk.
7.5 out of 10.
