Heidevolk was founded under the name Hymir in 2002. They later changed their name to Heidevolk (Dutch for 'heath-folk' or 'heather folk'), inspired by theVeluwe landscape. The band started performing live in 2003. They have since released one demo, six full-length studio albums, and one EP.[1]
Their third album,Uit oude grond, was released to generally positive critical acclaim, with one writer calling the album "A hugely enjoyable release combining aggressive metallic riffage with tastefully entwined traditional folk instrumentation and melody".[2]
Vocalists Mark Bockting and Joris Boghtdrincker have contributed vocals to theArkona song "Na Moey Zemle" (На моей земле) (In My Land). The track also features vocalists fromMånegarm (Sweden),Obtest (Lithuania), Menhir (Germany), andSkyforger (Latvia).[3] Each sings in their native language, playing the role of warriors from that region, describing their homeland to a traveler.
