Wolfmare這支民謠金屬樂(lè)隊(duì)在2002年成立于俄羅斯的文化之都圣彼得堡。雖然同樣是民謠金屬,這隊(duì)俄羅斯人卻玩出了新的花樣,他們的新專輯中融入了歐洲黑暗金屬的影響,同時(shí)又涵蓋了濃厚的中世紀(jì)神秘氣息。樂(lè)隊(duì)先是用風(fēng)笛、大提琴、小提琴、曼陀林等傳統(tǒng)樂(lè)器為新專輯的音樂(lè)搭起了中世紀(jì)民謠的骨架、然后又用黑色的吉他轟鳴聲碾碎了每一塊骨頭。樂(lè)隊(duì)一共有三名主唱分別表演不同的聲部:尖叫咆哮著的黑死腔、干凈利落的傳統(tǒng)民謠男聲、以及天籟人聲般的女聲。Wolfmare的歌詞總是讓人難以捉摸的,除了英文外,樂(lè)隊(duì)主要用古代的德語(yǔ)和拉丁語(yǔ)進(jìn)行創(chuàng)作,古老的語(yǔ)言自然要用來(lái)講述遠(yuǎn)古的傳說(shuō),來(lái)自斯堪的納維亞半島的民間傳說(shuō),還有被移植到現(xiàn)代語(yǔ)境中的異化了民間故事。這一切正是《Whitemare Rhymes》這張專輯要帶你去體驗(yàn)的。
he folk metal band WOLFMARE known as WOLFSANGEL before September 2007 was founded in 2002 in St. Petersburg, Russia by ex-members of local metal and folk projects. From the very beginning WOLFMARE was planned to be not only a band to play music but also a kind of performance act. The main language of lyrics is English, but some traditional sacred texts in ancient languages like Latin and old German are also used. WOLFMARE songs are based on both the past and the present. They are a kind of mix between European (mostly Scandinavian) traditions and sounds of modern world.
OLFMARE is a successful live band. They played at a number of club gigs and open airs in St. Petersburg, Moscow and other Russian cities. They supported such bands as CRUACHAN, TIAMAT, FINNTROLL, BATTLELORE, ENSIFERUM, and KORPIKLAANI in St. Petersburg and were the special guests at the CRUACHAN’s Russian tour.
OLFMARE has recorded two albums. The first one released by the local metal label FONO in 2004 is titled Widdershins (as Wolfsangel). It can be described as a model folk metal piece with some minor influences of black metal. Although it was not distributed outside Russia, about 3.000 copies were sold. Recording of the second album called Whitemare Rhymes was finished in Spring, 2007 and was released by CCP Records on April 4th, 2008. Unlike it was in the first album, all the acoustic instruments like bagpipes, cello, fiddle et al. are not sampled, but played live. Unlike it was in the first album, there are three lead vocals (growl/scream, clean male vocal and clean female one) here as well as the guest vocals by Keith Fay and Karen Gilligan from CRUACHAN. Unlike it was in the first album, it cannot be characterized as pure folk metal, since creativity of the band is too strong to lock it in frames of one genre. More shades of black metal, doom metal and even the 70s rock added to the folk metal base make the unique WOLFMARE sound.
