Korpiklaani Announces "Heidenfest" 2026 Tour Dates

Finnish folk metal stars Korpiklaani has announced a massive headlining tour of Europe and the UK, dubbed "Heidenfest 2026." Joining them on the trek will be Finntroll, marking the first time the two bands have toured together. Joining them to celebrate this unique event are some of their best friends and drinking partners in Heidevolk and Trollfest. To warm up the evening with all the dancing, drinking, moshing and all round good times are The Dread Crew of Oddwood. Due to prior agreements, Finntroll will miss the first 3 shows, and will be replaced by Moonsorrow.

Korpiklaani's Jonne Järvelä comments:
"I'm more than excited to be touring Europe with such a great group of bands. We've known each other for decades and that's why I might feel a little old. Fortunately, a carefree, joyous, unrestrained, wild, fun, exhilarating, intoxicating, unconventional, extravagant and hilarious tour life is so healthy and refreshing that it keeps us young and fresh. Come along and you'll be surprised by the amazing and crazy nights with us. Fun is guaranteed!"

Finntroll comments:
"This is no ordinary tour — it is a march of madness and glory across Europe!
Our strings are tuned to mischief, and at last we will tour side by side with our friends in Korpiklaani and TrollfesT, strengthened by Heidevolk and Oddwood. This tour brings forth a storm of dark tunes, overflowing ale, and untamed revelry.

"Expect nights where reality bends, ancient spirits stir, and the line between myth and madness disappear. Join the horde, this will be legendary!"

Heidevolk comments:
"Hello fellow heathens! After the crazy successful Paganfest tour earlier this year, we are once again invited to join a legendary tour making its long awaited return: HEIDENFEST!" More...

Heidevolk Shares "Wederkeer" Music Video

Since the release of their impressive 2005 debut, "De strijdlust is geboren," Heidevolk have taken the heavy music scene by storm, conquering stages throughout the world with their very own brand of pagan folk metal. Following their latest offering, the much-acclaimed, "Vuur Van Verzet" (2015), February 24, 2023 will see the Dutch band release their seventh studio masterpiece, "Wederkeer, through Napalm Records.

After previously-released first album singles, "Klauwen Vooruit" and "Drink met de Goden (Walhalla)," today, Heidevolk have premiered a brand new music video for the epic, acoustic album title track!

The band comments:
"Today we proudly present our third music video from 'Wederkeer!'

"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!" More...

Heidevolk Unveils New Music Video

Five years since the release of their much-acclaimed album, "Vuur Van Verzet," February 24, 2023 will see Dutch pagan folk metal Heidevolk return with their seventh studio album, "Wederkeer ", via Napalm Records.

Following previously-released first album single, "Klauwen Vooruit," today, the band has premiered a brand new music video for the epic track "Drink met de Goden (Walhalla)" - inviting listeners on a folkloric adventure of myths, gods and legends!

The band says:
"Today we proudly present our second music video from 'Wederkeer.' The song, 'Drink met de Goden (Walhalla),' takes us on a journey through the life of an ambitious warrior. Only young of age, he inherits his father‘s sword and sets out to conquer the world, finding pleasure in feasting and fighting. When he gets older, he settles down on his father‘s land and realizes there is more to life than battle and bars. He finds fulfillment with his kith and kin, whom he will protect… with his life!

"With still two months to go until the release of 'Wederkeer,' we‘re gearing up for the live shows. We have added three more release shows to the release weekend and confirmed several festivals. Join us, for the Pagan Metal Brotherhood is on the rise” More...

Heidevolk Reveals New Album Details

Five years since the release of their album, "Vuur Van Verzet," February 24 will see Dutch folk metal collective, Heidevolk, return with their seventh studio album on Napalm Records - continuing to keep the pagan flame burning.

Ever since 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 for an uncompromising sound and musical adventure. Their new masterpiece, "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.

Today, the band has shared a music video for their first album single, "Klauwen Vooruit," that immediately kicks off with the raw pagan metal power Heidevolk are loved for, merging folkloric soundscapes, fast-paced riffs and ultra large choirs.

Says the band: "We’re incredibly excited to present you the first song and music video of our new album. 'Klauwen Vooruit' (The Hunter’s Claw) brings you the story about the extraordinary pact between Wolf and Raven. A bond between predator and scavenger where ravens alert wolves to nearby prey. The wolves respond to the raven’s call, kill the prey, eat their share and leave the carcass for the ravens to feast on. And there is more coming up, a lot more."

Watch the video for "Klauwen Vooruit" below. More...

Heidevolk Posts New Music Video Online

Dutch pagan metal outfit Heidevolk has posted a new music video online for the song, "A Wolf In My Heart." You can check it out below. "A Wolf in My Heart" is a track off of Heidevolk’s last critically acclaimed record "Vuur van Verzet." In anticipation for their upcoming tour, the band premieres a brand new music video for the track.

Heidevolk on the story behind “A Wolf in My Heart”:

“Ladies and gentlemen, brothers and sisters, today we present you the official video for “A Wolf in My Heart” a track from our latest album “Vuur van Verzet”. This song tells a heroic tale about the resilience of man and is captured in a beautiful animation by Awik Balaian. The wolf in our hearts is the primal instinct to survive. We did not choose to be born, we did not choose to become, but there is a will to live inside of us. A will to fight for what is ours and to oppose those who seek to oppress us. We will not linger in the dark but gather those who will fight with us and rise to make our voice be heard. Unleash the wolf in your hearts for the Pagan Metal Brotherhood is on the rise!" More...
