Riger is a Pagan Metal band formed in Germany, weaving the rich tapestry of Teutonic mythology, history, and folklore into the fabric of their music. An impressive force on the metal scene since the mid-1990s, the band has carved out a niche for itself with their blend of melodic aggression and storytelling, their sound oscillating between the melodic and the ferocious, often incorporating traditional folk instruments into a heavy metal framework.

With a discography that has evolved over the years, Riger's more recent works continue to showcase their commitment to the thematic elements that make their music stand out. "Gjallar" and "Des Blutes Stimme," immerse listeners in the depths of mythic battles and ancestral calls, transcending beyond mere songs into anthemic experiences. "Hamingja," showcases Riger's unique ability to blend melody with might, pulling from past wisdom to craft tracks that resonate with contemporary listeners. "Der Wanderer" remains true to its title, taking audiences on a journey through rhythmic landscapes and oral traditions, solidifying Riger's reputation as a band that not only plays music but also tells the tales of a bygone era through the power of metal.
