Dark Folk
Eihwar fuse Nordic heritage, tribal percussion and electronic pulse into a sound that’s raw, physical and almost primal. Their chants seem to rise from another age, the rhythms speak straight to the body rather than the mind, and before long the show takes on the air of a full-blown collective ritual. Turning Viking mythology into a living, breathing experience, dark, celebratory and utterly immersive, Eihwar have already stormed major stages such as Hellfest. Now they arrive at Paléo ready to unleash shamanic drums and spellbinding incantations.
