Lumsk is a Norwegian folk metal band that combines traditional Norwegian folk music with elements of heavy metal, creating a distinct sound that celebrates Norway’s rich cultural heritage. Since their formation in 1999, Lumsk has stood out in the metal scene with their unique fusion of genres, incorporating various instruments typical of folk music, such as the fiddle and flute, along with the electric guitars and aggressive rhythms found in metal. Their lyrical themes often delve into folklore, tales, and legends from their homeland, giving their music a deeply narrative and atmospheric quality.

With albums like "Åsmund Frægdegjevar" (2003), Lumsk has made a noteworthy entry into the world of folk metal. Their music is characterized by operatic and clear vocal styles, counterbalanced with heavier instrumental sections. Other works such as "Troll" (2005), "Det Vilde Kor" (2007), and the more recent singles like "Det Døde Barn / Das Tode Kind" and "Avskjed / Abschied" showcase the band's commitment to storytelling and the exploration of darker, mysterious themes wrapped in their signature blend of musical styles. Despite the band's quiet periods, their latest release "Fremmede Toner" (2021) reaffirms their dedication to their craft, delighting fans with new material that continues to pay homage to the folk traditions of Norway while evolving within the metal framework.
