Fans of pagan and Viking music, get ready to enter a trance! The Nordic folk chants and war drums of EIHWAR are coming! This explosive electro-folk duo has just joined the Season of Mist label, alongside Danheim and Heilung. Discovered in 2024 at Hellfest, Motocultor, Rockstadt and Wave Gotik Treffen, EIHWAR delivers a brutal and festive electro pagan sound, crafted for Viking dancefloors! So elves and trolls, shamans and berserker warriors, join us in the dance!
Many bands have explored the Norse worlds over the last 15 years seeking atmospheric, acoustic and ritual sounds with great seriousness. This is not the path EIHWAR chose. Although the musicians of EIHWAR are virtuosos in their acoustic instruments, their goal is to bring some fun… and as much chaos as possible during their concerts, provoking the craziest trance on dancefloors. Electronics are a ‘new steel’ for those modern warriors, cold and powerful. As the web already says, the duo is a kind of new ‘Viking Carpenter Brut’.
About EIHWAR's performance at Hellfest, Rockhard Magazine reports: "A precise, powerful, and hypnotic sound. [...] Asrunn's voice brings an enchanting magic, and EIHWAR wins the crowd's favor."
LINE-UP:
- Asrunn : Vocals, shamanic drum
- Mark : Vocals, drum pad, machines
