My Unnamed Witch-themed Folk Metal Music Project

My Witch-themed Folk Metal Music Project is my third folk metal project, following Linnalapsi and Waldkrach, and my fourth music project overall. Unlike Waldkrach’s music, which has heavier riffs and slower tempos, this project is centered around metal songs of a fast-tempo and frantic nature, and when not fast, then slow and atmospheric. Also unlike Waldkrach’s piano-laden songs, this project aims to have less of that and instead feature a multitude of flutes, strings, brass, and accordions. The main sonic inspiration for this project are the first two albums of Finntroll, Midnattens Widunder and Jaktens Tid.

Visual attributes of this project will be centered around fantasy depictions of witches and dark forests (see image).

My main objective for this project is to produce a 30-minute album. From there, I will see where it goes. As of April 2025, a handful songs have been composed to completion, and with a few more half-completed.

Due to huge, personal financial setbacks, this project will be fully recorded, produced, and mixed by me in a homemade style. Unfortunate, although this also means production of the album should be quick. I am currently recording tests in an effort to make my home recordings sound better and professional.
