If you’re looking for something that feels like it was carved from the earth and sung by ancestors, then BANDERSTADT is about to drop a record that hits harder than most.
From Ukraine, this folk metal band doesn’t just slap on some fiddles or bagpipes for effect. No. They dig deep into real Ukrainian folk traditions, melt them down in a blacksmith’s forge of modern metal, and spit out songs that feel like they were written centuries ago but just now found their voice.
Their new album Red drops on September 26 via Archivist Records, and it’s already giving us goosebumps. The first single, “The Boat” , is out now ; check it here:
Nine tracks strong, Red tells stories of sea, sun, blood, victory, and more. It’s not just music: it’s history, myth, and emotion wrapped in riffs and rhythm. And if you think folk metal is just for festivals and firelighters? Think again. This one bites.
I love when metal becomes more than noise: it becomes a language. A memory. A battle cry. Red feels like that. Like something your grandfather might have played before going off to war. Or maybe your grandmother sang in the fields.
So go listen. Go feel. And remember: folk isn’t just old songs. Sometimes it’s the oldest truth, played loud and proud.
