Faun

DE · 1998–present · active
Faun formed in Germany in 1998 under founder Oliver s. Tyr and coined the term "pagan folk" to describe their synthesis of ancient Greek, Arab, and Scandinavian melodic traditions with the Swedish nyckelharpa, hurdy-gurdy, bagpipes, and Celtic harp. The band sings in a rotating array of languages including German, Latin, Old Norse, and Turkish, and their decade-spanning catalog has repeatedly charted in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, with Midgard (2016) reaching number three in Germany. After five albums on Universal Music Germany, Faun established their own Pagan Folk Records label in 2021 and continued releasing material, including the witchcraft-themed Hex in 2025.

Garmarna

SE · 1990–present · active
Formed in 1990 in Sweden by Stefan Brisland-Ferner and collaborators, Garmarna built their sound around traditional Scandinavian ballads and folk melodies filtered through modern electronics, beats, and loops. Their second full-length earned them a Swedish Grammy for best folk album of 1996, and releases like Vittrad and Vengeance established them as leaders in Nordic folk-rock. After a lengthy hiatus, they returned with Förbundet in 2020 on Season of Mist, largely comprising interpretations of traditional Swedish folk songs.
