Born from the frost of Northern Finland in 2013, Warfarer weaves chilling tales of small people’s great struggles amidst ancient myths. Their ferocious blend of melodic death metal and symphonic elements bites like the freezing wind and grips you like the flu.
After releasing an EP in 2017 and undergoing a complete reincarnation with new singles in 2018 and 2020, the band is more alive than ever, preparing for war with brutal new songs and sharpened axes. Their upcoming concept debut album, “A Tale Beyond the Pale”, set for release in 2024, delves into the Finnish myth of the “Brotherslayer”, taking listeners on a journey through jealousy, scheming, Viking raids, duels under the northern lights, and an eventual descent into guilt and madness.
