Skyforger

Skyforger is an extraordinary folk metal band from Rīga, Latvia. They have been tempering their music in the smithy of the Latvian Thundergod Pērkons since 1995. For almost three decades, the band has been fighting under the flag of Latvian pagan metal; an extreme blend of traditional Baltic folk music and various metal influences ranging from Norwegian inspired black metal through to 80s-rooted heavy metal. The band's unique combination of ancient and modern influence has given them a wide appeal throughout both the metal and folk scenes
