Bifröst is an Austrian band that delves into the realms of folk and pagan metal, deriving their band name from Norse mythology—the burning rainbow bridge that connects the human world, Midgard, to Asgard, the realm of the gods. Formed in 2006, the group is known for combining the melodic elements of traditional heavy metal with the thematic and instrumental characteristics of folk music, particularly drawing inspiration from tales and traditions of old European paganism.
Their work, characterized by an exploration of mythological and historical concepts, has resonated with fans of the genre, leading to a growing following over the years. The band's most recent albums include "Mana Ewah" (2020), "Tor in eine neue Welt" (2016), and "Heidenmetal" (2010). Each release has showcased a further refinement of their sound and a deepened lyrical exploration of the mythical and pagan legacies that inspire their music. Bifröst’s fusion of epic storytelling, intricate melodies, and a fierce metal backdrop has secured them a unique spot in the folk metal scene and earned them critical acclaim within the metal community.
