Sowulo is an artist deeply rooted in the historical and mythological tapestry of the ancient world, particularly drawing from the richness of Northern European culture and its Viking heritage. Embracing the old languages and the enchanting sounds of period instruments, Sowulo weaves an audial tapestry that transports listeners back to the times of mead halls and the epic sagas of old. Their compositions often feature traditional instrumentation merged with ambient soundscapes, embodying a reverence for nature and the lore of the past.

Sowulo's music is characterized by a profound narrative quality that is both haunting and evocative, often delving into themes of spirituality, ancestral wisdom, and the cyclical patterns of existence. The titles of their works, such as "Nihtēagan," "Heolstor Sċeadu," and "Full Mōna," suggest an intimate engagement with the language and poetic sensibilities of the Old English and Norse eras. With recent releases like the Byzantium Version of "Brego in Brēoste" and the energetic renditions from their Live Studio Sessions, Sowulo continues to captivate an audience thirsting for a connection with the ancient world, brought to life through their stirring melodies and immersive storytelling.
