Waldtraene

Waldtraene is a German pagan folk duo formed in 2010, originally hailing from Thuringia and later based in Wieda near the Harz Mountains. The band features **Horda** (Alexander Mertzdorff) on vocals and strings, and **Knoepfchen** (Babett Karkowsky) on vocals and flutes, weaving together deep male/female harmonies with acoustic instruments like flutes and guitars. Their music draws from Germanic mythology and neopagan themes, with albums like *Heidenblut* (2013) and *Unter Wolfes Banner* (2016) blending medieval folk influences and raw, chant-driven energy. The duo has navigated the German pagan music scene for over a decade, releasing albums through Pagan Media after publicly distancing themselves from their earlier label *Asatru Klangwerke* in 2023. Their 2020 release *Al daz jar* and live recordings like *Erntezeit - Live at Weissenfels 2022* showcase their enduring focus on "Heidnische Liedkunst" (heathen songcraft).
