Sowulo
Sowulo is a Dutch neo-folk and dark folk project founded in 2010 by multi-instrumentalist and composer Faber Horbach, who performs and records the project entirely on his own. Drawing on Germanic and Norse pagan traditions, Horbach uses historical instruments — including Irish bouzouki, hammered dulcimer, and nyckelharpa — alongside Anglo-Saxon lyrics to construct immersive ritual soundscapes. The project's discography includes Alvenrad (2013), Sol (2016), Mann (2019), Wurdiz (2022), and Niht (2025), all released through Season of Mist. Sowulo occupies a serious and scholarly corner of the pagan folk spectrum, distinct from the more theatrical approaches common to the genre.
