HEIDEVOLK Release Animated Music Video For Dutch Language Version Of ‘A Wolf In My Heart’ Track
April 6th, 2019

Arnhem, Netherlands-based folk metal group Heidevolk issued sixth full-length studio album Vuur van Verzet on January 12th, 2018 through Napalm Records.

Heidevolk commented: “We are excited to announce our long-awaited new album Vuur van Verzet (‘Fire Of Resistance’). An album that catapults you to a battlefield where a failing Roman empire is retreating and Germanic tribes are on the rise to claim back what is theirs. It will guide you through the great migrations and tell the tale of early traditions, gods and nature.

“We’ve fitted these stories in 11 songs that emphasise the characteristic Heidevolk sound but also underline the progression of our songwriting. Fast metal riffing combined with a our trademark dual male vocals, a 24 piece male choir, various folk musicians, a string ensemble and the raw guest vocals of Primordials’ Nemtheanga make Vuur van Verzet an album that shows its teeth… in a bombastic way. Join us, the Pagan Metal Brotherhood is on the rise!”
