Folkrim, the dynamic force in folk metal, is set to captivate audiences with their third album, "Embers". What began as a spontaneous creation on a drunken summer's eve in 2019 has evolved into a powerhouse of fast, loud, beautiful, groovy, and fun musical expressions. Frontman Erno, inspired by the whims of the moment, penned the song "Santulla Saahan" as a joke during a night out. This seemingly accidental creation laid the foundation for Folkrim's journey, leading to a collection of songs and their debut album. As essentially a one-man project, Folkrim garnered positive feedback on the local scene, prompting the band's evolution and the planning of live shows. Now, with the upcoming release of "Embers" Folkrim is poised to redefine the folk metal genre with their unique vision. The sound of the album represents a departure from previous works, aiming to establish Folkrim as a distinct entity rather than a mere reflection of other folk metal giants. So, "Embers" is a bit different from its predecessors inviting listeners on a journey that begins where the last album left off and gradually delves into more gloomy and dire tones. Folkrim's five-word description of their sound -- fast, loud, beautiful, groovy, and fun -- aptly captures the essence of "Embers". The lyrics draw inspiration from romanticized versions of stories within the band's friend group, veiled in layers of folklore and fantasy. The symbiotic relationship between music and lyrics is evident, the evolution of Folkrim's sound is evident in "Embers" with a shift towards less humppa/drinking songs and a greater emphasis on melodic death and thrash influences. Unlike previous albums, this release was crafted for its own sake, marking the band's full formation after the recording of the second album. "Embers" promises a groundbreaking experience for folk metal enthusiasts, showcasing Folkrim's maturation and commitment to pushing creative boundaries.
