Dutch Folk / Pagan Metallers HEIDEVOLK, have unveiled an official video for the title track of their forthcoming album “Wederkeer”, due for release on February 24th via Napalm Records.

The band comments on the track: “The title track ‘Wederkeer’ is a powerful acoustic anthem about inner strength, pride and beliefs. In the video we witness a young woman wandering through the cold dark forest. She is lost yet something inside her fuels her quest and tells her to persist. Suddenly a luring hymn draws her to the scene of glimmering flares of a fire through the trees, and shadows of men singing a pure and uncompromising anthem. When she eventually enters the circle of light, the scene she thought she witnessed has disappeared, as if it was never there…

With the release of our new album drawing near this raw acoustic track gives you yet another glimpse of what is coming your way. Join us, for the Pagan Metal Brotherhood is on the rise!”

Since the release of their impressive 2005 debut, “De Strijdlust Is Geboren”, HEIDEVOLK has taken the Heavy music scene by storm, conquering stages throughout the world with their very own brand of Folk Metal. With dual clean vocals, irresistibly catchy songs, traditional instruments and fast Metal riffing all fueled by their folkloric fire and pagan pride, HEIDEVOLK delivers an uncompromising sound and musical adventure. Their new album, “Wederkeer”, makes no exception, and proves why the Arnhem-based six-piece is one of the best, unrivaled and most exciting bands of their genre and beyond!

In a world of myths, nature and legends of the Veluwe, Netherlands, the concept album is a powerful odyssey of the Self, deeply rooted in Metal and folklore. “Wederkeer” (meaning to “return” or “revive”) invites the listener to take a step back from the incessant barrage of media and stimuli and look inside, find out who we are, what is driving us, what our values are, and what we’ve learned from life up until now.
