Huntsman

Winterhymn (Cincinnati, OH) has proudly carried the American folk metal flag into battle since 2009. Guitarist/vocalist Draug, guitarist Varrik, drummer Valthrun, violinist Umbriel, keyboardist Exura, and bassist/vocalist Alvadar launch a hostile campaign of black, death, and power metal, fueled by the haunting strains of folk and symphonic metal and the spirit and escapism of fantasy and folklore inspired by both their own mythos and the forests and wildlands of their North American homeland. With a melding of influences including Bathory, Primordial, Amon Amarth, and Immortal, they have cast listeners the world over into their own realm of conquest, death, and untamed wilderness.

Winterhymn released their debut album "Songs for the Slain" in October 2011 and spent 2012 crisscrossing Eastern America in its support. In but one year’s time they had shared the local and regional stage with many of the heavyweights of their own genre and beyond, including Children of Bodom, Eluveitie, Turisas, Alestorm, Arkona, Skeletonwitch, Huntress, Revocation, Threat Signal, and 3 Inches of Blood. Winterhymn embarked on their first North American tour in 2014 with Paganfest America Part V, alongside Korpiklaani, Turisas, Chthonic, and Varg, terrorizing the continent with their spirit of wild bloodlust. They recorded a 5-track sampler of their new music for this tour, a taste of what is to come on their yet-to-be-named, full-length sophomore release. Winterhymn is currently in full writing mode, fine-tuning the songs for their upcoming album which will be released late 2015.
