Latvian folk/pagan metal giants SKYFORGER played 17 songs, including well know hits such as Oh Fog, Oh Dew, Ūsins Rides Over the Hill, The Devil Slayer, In the Underworld, Colonel Briedis, Romuve and The Stone Sentinel. During the concert, special guest Edgars Zilberts from the folklore group “Vilkači” (“Warewolwes”) played kokle for the group. “Kokle” is a Latvian plucked string instrument (chordophone) belonging to the Baltic box zither family known as the Baltic psaltery. Skyforger was formed in 1995 out of the remains of doom metal band Grindmaster Dead. Most of band’s songs are about Baltic mythology, ancient gods and medieval warfare; band also play Latvian folk song concerts as contribution to their national heritage. In total Skyforger has released 7 albums, and right now is working on yet untitled new metal album, which should be out sometimes next 2024 year!
