In 2003 Heidevolk released its first CD, ‘De strijdlust is geboren’, followed by the ‘Wodan Heerst’ EP in 2005. Both releases were re-released on one CD by Napalm Records in 2008. The sophomore full-length CD ‘Walhalla Wacht’ (Napalm Records) also saw its worldwide release in 2008. With the new 2010 release ‘Uit oude grond’ (‘From old soil’), Heidevolk delivers its most varied release in terms of music and lyrical concepts to date. The new album differs from its predecessors due to its heavy and bombastic songs. The sound is more powerful and approaches the heavy electrifying atmosphere of Heidevolk’s live performances. Because Heidevolk enjoyed more studio time for ‘Uit oude grond’, more attention could be spent on a broader choir-like singing. Folk instruments such as the violin and mandolin are abundantly present again.
Featuring 11 songs, ranging from epic to brutal, Heidevolk will take you on a journey through the history, mythology, folklore, and nature of their native Gelderland. Continuing in the vein of their previous releases, Heidevolk stays true to its musical and lingual roots while elaborating on its style.
