FIRN

**FIRN** is a German neofolk duo from Saxony, formed in 2016 by multi-instrumentalists Alina and Frederic. Known for their haunting blend of dark folk, medieval melodies, and pagan-inspired soundscapes, they craft atmospheric music using traditional instruments like the nyckelharpa, hurdy-gurdy, and mandola. Their poetic German lyrics often explore themes of nature, folklore, and introspective journeys, creating a mystical vibe that feels both ancient and eerily contemporary.

With releases like *Sternentor* and *Unter dem Eis*, FIRN leans into wintry, immersive storytelling, pairing frost-kissed atmospheres with hypnotic rhythms. They’ve built a loyal following in the European alternative scene, performing at festivals like Wave-Gotik-Treffen and releasing standout albums such as *Kälteschauer* (2017) and *Sturm & Sehnsucht* (2020). Whether through studio recordings or intimate live shows, FIRN remains dedicated to channeling the raw beauty of wilderness and myth into their evocative sound.
