	Skyforger - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Although Skyforger is known for their folk metal tradition, their style overlaps with fl and death metal in later albums.
		Skyforger is also one of the best-known folk/pagan metal bands in Europe.
		Skyforger was also involved in a minor scandal with one of their former producers, who believed their affiliation with Neo-nazism.

	[No title]
		Skyforger gave their all and everyone lapped it up eagerly, in effect, turning what had looked like a complete disaster into quite a memorable night.
		Skyforger made a lot of friends here tonight, they sold a lot of merchandise and told me that Belfast was their favourite show of the whole tour.
		Skyforger again played out of their skins, made more new friends, and sold out of their merchandise that night which is cool.

	Skyforger - Latvian metal folks
		Skyforger is a band that I had been always eager to interview and I was lucky to have a meeting with guitar player Rihard.
		Latvia is usual small Baltic country; as you might know recently we parted from USSR (13 years ago) so then it was a terrible time, our nation was almost close to obliteration, our language was out of use and in all places Russian was the main language.
		Skyforger could not be possible in that time That's also one of the reasons we are so proud of our nationality and language and generally our culture.

		Skyforger have been tempering their music in the smithy of the Thundergod PÃ„?rkons since 1995.
		Similarly, though 'Latvian Riflemen' is probably Skyforger's most eclectic album to date, the listener can hear the unique Skyforger sound pervading each song, whether it be the traditional Metal influenced 'Pulkvedis Briedis' ('Colonel Briedis'), the Doomier sounding 'TÃ„?reÃ„?a PurvÃ„?' ('In the TÃ„?relis Swamp'), or the speeding extremity of 'The March Of 1916'.
		Truly, Skyforger had cleaved their way into the scene with this album; and their fan base increased in proportion.

		Skyforger is certainly one of the most famous Pagan/Folk bands from the Baltic scene nowadays.
		It was for Skyforger a way to pay homage to their forefathers.
		I must add also that Skyforger will remaster this demo in 2005 and it will be available in CD with some new tracks.

	Heathen Harvest - Reviews: Skyforger - Zobena Dziesma / Sword Song
		SKYFORGER has been one of the leading Pagan Folk/Metal bands in Europe for quite some time now, energetically welding various Metal styles into a cohesive whole.
		The instrumentation consists of giga, a Latvian instrument that is a forerunner of the cello, kokle, an 11-string Latvian hybrid of harp and guitar, acoustic guitar, various flutes, bagpipes, mouth harp and ‘wardrums.’
		Skyforger are notable for being proud of their nation and culture without having a political agenda.

	::: Metal Vox - A Voz do Metal :::
		Skyforger is a Latvian band, which treats mostly about Pagan and cultural themes.
		Skyforger was forged in the Christian year of 1995 and since then it has released some very good albums.
		We are lucky that we have such a line-up where people are interested in a whole thing and everyone has a similar point of views on history, music and stuff like that.

	firegoat.com : Interviews (Skyforger)
		Latvian band Skyforger was playing in Slovenia on their first European tour, together with Bestial Mockery, Obtest and Grief of Emerald.
		The rest of the band members said that they don't speak English, but that turned out not to be completely true because they understood everything we were talking about and even took part in the conversation one way or the other.
		I like many styles of music but Skyforger is the main thing.

	Skyforger, Finntroll, Gods Tower
		The album relates, in Latvian, the story of the 8 regiments of Latvian riflemen who joined the Czarist Russia army in 1915 to repel the Germans...and died in droves over a period of several years.
		Latvian Riflemen begins with artillery fire and a Latvian military chorus and progresses into nihilistic tuneless speed fuzz with yelling vocals, the drums perhaps mimicking machine gun fire.
		There are two of what I suppose are contemporaneous poems set to music; the rest of the songs, with lyrics portraying the real historical nightmare of doomed military units in a harsh country, are by the Skyforger guitarist "Peter." The stark fl and white vintage photographs add to the horror.

		Despite the swastika in their logo, Skyforger is not a NS band.
		According to their official site, Skyforger is "not a political band", and their two first full-lengths have a "No Nazi Stuff Here" picture on the back.
		English translations of the lyrics from the albums "The Battle of Saule", "Latvian Riflemen" and "Thunderforge" can be downloaded at their homepage.

		With their second album "Latvian riflemen" the Latvian band Skyforger delivers a real masterpiece, full of Viking metal-like music with folk influences which are really integrated in the music.
		The lyrics are about the Latvian battles in World World I and are sung in Latvian (but fortunately they are transated for those few people who don't speak Latvian).
		Skyforger's vocalist and guitarist Peter tells us all about this extraordinary band and album.

	THE METAL OBSERVER - Review - SKYFORGER - Thunderforge/Perkonkalve
		For years now Latvian SKYFORGER are in the absolute spearhead of worldwide Pagan Metal.
		Founded in 1995, the band from Riga released its already legendary "Semigalls' Warchant" demo in 1997, which I discovered the band with and kind of fell in love with.
		I do not know, how the Latvians do it, but with their third album SKYFORGER have managed to come up with a really big strike that, just like ESTERTOR, would have absolutely deserved to be in my Top 20, but unfortunately the order of the album came in too late.

	THE METAL OBSERVER - Review - SKYFORGER - Latviesu Strelnicki/Latvian Riflemen
		You most probably call this Pagan Metal, musically coming from the Melodic Black-corner, but pepping up the sound with a good portion of Latvian folklore (especially in the melodies) and quite some surprising influences from the more traditional Metal.
		That they sing in Latvian might be a scare-off for some of you, but I like the foreign sound of this language, which makes the whole thing even more original than it already is.
		The use of heathen symbolism might seem suspect to some, but SKYFORGER decidedly distance them from any connections to Nazis and similar scum, this has to be said!

		Skyforger's popularity and recognition continue to grow, and their Pagan/Folk Metal style continues to develop.
		They are a rarity in that they present proud, nationalistic music without any political leanings; and their passion for the land of their fathers can be heard like the surging of the tide, underpinning the warships of their songs.

		For the select few waiting outside of the Baltics, Is Kartos is Obtest's third full-length album, but first in 4 years.
		While their sound can be labeled as Baltic pagan metal, roughly similar to Skyforger, they in fact remind me somewhat of the English Dogs, sans the dynamism, mystery, and song craft of the Dogs' more metallic ventures.
		Obtest's effort is there though, offering a thick sound of pagan metal with a little thrash and punk affinities mixed in.

		From the beginning the album sounds different from any other Skyforger and for that matter folk metal release.
		This Skyforger's album is something completely new in metal/pagan metal.
		They sing about historical events during WW I and story I discovered (about Latvian Riflemen) surprised me. Latvian riflemen were great soldiers, they were legendary warriors, freedom fighters and Skyforger's songs tell about these amazing but sad stories.

	CoC : Skyforger - Thunderforge (Perkonkalve) : Review
		One of the most refreshing bands to hit the metal scene in the past decade, Skyforger have been flying the flag of Latvian metal since 1995.
		Very few bands in the extreme metal field would dare to allow such positivity to creep into their songwriting, but Skyforger are a determined bunch, and this ambitious venture succeeds in every regard.
		I can almost feel the crackle of flames from the campfire as I sit with my pagan brothers, drink to the gods above and reflect upon the many wonders of the world around me. Of course, I can't sit for long, when such kickarse metal riffs are bursting out of the soil.

		We would like to take this opportunity to, once again, wholeheartedly thank Gaz Murdock for his invaluable services as our session bassist over the several months when he was needed.
		We managed to get on both the Derry and Belfast bills, with a few of us bashing out a few acoustic tunes at the end of tour folk session in Cork.
		"A lot was learnt from the SKYFORGER experience which will aid us enormously in our future ventures, but perhaps the most important was the realisation that our session guitarist seemed amply capable of fulfilling the necessary requirements of a WAYLANDER member.

		Skyforger were brought to Finland already in October 2002, but those promotors were amateurs and managed to fck up all the timetables so they didn't let Skyforger* to the stage at all!
		Needless to say many fans and the band were very disappointed...
		Anyway, here's some pictures of our heroes viewing the last band that got to play, Obtest.
