Folkstorm is an industrial and power electronics project spearheaded by influential Swedish musician and artist Henrik Nordvargr Björkk. Known for its harsh soundscapes, aggressive vocal samples, and the incorporation of militaristic and historical themes, Folkstorm has carved a unique niche within the darker realms of the noise music spectrum. The project emerged in the late 1990s, contributing to the surge of the Swedish industrial and experimental scene.

Folkstorm's music reflects a raw intensity that is both confrontational and introspective, exploring themes of nihilism, conflict, and the human condition. The project's discography demonstrates Björkk's adeptness at forging abrasive auditory experiences that challenge listeners. Among the most recent releases, albums like "Dödsabnorm" and "Nihil Total" continue to delve into the grim territories that Folkstorm is known for, while "Victory Or Death" and "Sweden" encapsulate the project's signature combination of relentless noise barrages and haunting atmospherics. "Nothing Matters" reaffirms Björkk's philosophical outlook through sonic experimentation, and the retrospective "Filthy Gold - A Compilation of Hard Work (1999-2017)" offers both new and existing audiences a comprehensive look into the gritty essence of Folkstorm's evolution over nearly two decades. With a creatively unyielding presence, Folkstorm remains a formidable force in the underground music scene, constantly pushing the boundaries of the power electronics genre.
