**Fejd** is a Swedish folk music band with a distinctive approach to their music, imbuing traditional sounds with the spirit of metal without the use of standard metal instruments. Formed in 2001, the band consists of brothers Rimmerfors, Patrik Rimmerfors and Niklas Rimmerfors, along with their cohorts who bring together the melodic and rhythmic elements of old with a fresh flair. Their name, pronounced 'fade', hails from the Old Swedish term for feud or conflict, yet their music is anything but discordant.
Their discography weaves historical threads with contemporary energy, starting with their debut album "Storm" in 2009, which immediately established them within the folk metal scene despite their purely acoustic instrumentation. Following that, albums like "Eifur" (2010) and "Nagelfar" (2013) continued to explore and expand upon Nordic folk traditions. Their works incorporate mythic themes and instruments such as the moraharpa, keyed fiddle, and cow antler. "Trolldom," released in 2016, sees them creating an immersive auditory tableau that captures the mysteries of ancient Scandinavian lands. With their most recent release, "Strilja," in 2023, Fejd maintains their place at the forefront of the folk world, enchanting and intriguing listeners with stories woven in time-honored melodies and rhythms.
