Walpurgisnacht

1. Dutch Black Metal band: Walpurgisnacht is a now defunct Melodic Black Metal band from Brabant, The Netherlands. They play a raw old style black metal, but combine this with a melancholic and epic touch, which is expressed in the melodic style of guitar riffing. Inspiration for both music and lyrics is mainly drawn from some obscure Dutch legends and the (original) grim and gloomy quality of "De Peel" - a once huge and impenetrable area of marshes, moors, fens and woods in the south of the Netherlands.
