DARK FOLK

Biography

Formed in the verdant landscapes around Norrtälje, northeast of Stockholm, in Spring 2021, Fredlös emerged from the ashes of previous musical endeavors with a singular vision. Bonded by a profound connection to their historical roots and a penchant for dark, atmospheric sounds, the band crafts an epic auditory landscape. Their music melds heavy, melodic guitar lines with traditional Nordic instruments, driven by a commitment to narrate history with authenticity and passion. The result is a captivating blend of darkness and melody, inviting listeners to explore the shadows where they can find solace and strength.

With their self-titled debut album released in Spring 2023, Fredlös presents a collection of 9 dark, intense, yet melodically rich tracks. Each song is a journey through the late Middle Ages, offering a voice to the tales of the common folk and their struggles, resilience, and tales untold. Musically, the album is a boundary-defying odyssey, interweaving metal, rock, folk, and traditional melodies into a diverse and compelling tapestry.

The band’s initial single, “Våt Varm Jord” (Warm Wet Soil), released in Autumn 2022, serves as a powerful introduction to Fredlös’s world. This 7-minute and 22-second track is a dynamic and swirling invitation to reflect the light and embrace the darkness, setting the stage for the thematic and musical exploration that the album unfolds.
