FRÄNDER
Genre: Nordic Heavy Folk
Born from a thunderstorm, FRÄNDER emerged like lightning — a fusion of Nordic roots and modern attitude became HEAVY FOLK. From the deep forest of Sweden & Estonia, with energy and a warm presence they deliver heavy grooves and seductive harmonies that weave a mesmerizing soundscape.
"FRÄNDER II is a perfect, magnificent masterpiece” - LIRA.se
Following their acclaimed debut and global touring, the band’s groundbreaking second album FRÄNDER II pushes the limits of what folk can be. With echoes of Led Zeppelin and Jethro Tull meeting the pulse of Nordic tradition, they blend folk music with the raw power and weight of hard rock in an incomparable way. Crafting a sound that’s both ancient and modern, acoustic yet heavy, mystical yet fiercely alive, FRÄNDER makes the folk music tradition their own. Expect a show where folk music becomes a living, breathing force.

“You are taken into the very special universe of a band, whose name you will definitely come across in several end-of-year lists at the end of this year. I wonder if any promoter dares to bring these guys here: he/she won't regret it, because FRÄNDER sounds like nothing else!” - ROOTS TIME
