Folkheim is a band that stands out with its unique blend of black metal and Andean folk music, bringing forth a cultural crossroads where ancient traditions meet the intensity of extreme metal. Hailing from Chile, the band channels the rich indigenous heritage of their homeland into their music, offering a refreshing take on both folk and metal elements. Their approach to composition is both atmospheric and evocative, delivering powerful narratives that delve into the history, myths, and struggles of indigenous peoples.
With a discography that includes their recent single "Kiepja" and the live album "Live", Folkheim has established themselves as a force within the metal scene that refuses to be confined by genre boundaries. Their 2020 release, "Pachakuti (Revisited)," reimagines previous works with renewed vigor, while "Mapu Ñi Tiam" continues to explore themes deeply rooted in their South American origins. Folkheim's early work, such as the demo "Touched by Thy Undisturbed Essence," showcases the raw potential and creative energy that the band has refined over the years. Through their music, Folkheim not only entertains but educates and awakens a sense of cultural pride and awareness.
