"Heidevolk" is a folk/viking metal band from The Netherlands. The lyrical themes of their music are inspired by nature, the history of Gelderland, and the history of Germanic mythology. All of their lyrics are in their native language, Dutch. Heidevolk's name translates in English as "people of the heath land". [http://virb.com/heidevolk Heidevolk on Virb.com] ]

History

Heidevolk was founded under the name of Hymir in 2002 by six young men, all of whom were inspired by nature, Germanic mythology, folklore and the history of Gelderland. They had a common desire to create music that could capture their fascination for these subjects. They came up with the name Heidevolk while walking through the Veluwe. The band started performing live in 2003. Ever since 2003, the band has released one demo, two full-length studio albums, and one EP.
