A string is plucked. It's bold sound echoes through the woods, a yearning voice from years long past. A drum answers, an ancient string ensemble beckons. Soon, the entire flowing passage of time is resounding with wistful memories of yore, as American folk music project Hagathorn awakens a spirit of the past, seamlessly joining man and nature. With debut album Hartwold, Hagathorn evokes medieval atmospheres inspired by ancient folklore and the Old World. It's captivating journey through forest and meadow is adorned with timeless melodies and soul-soothing hymns channeled through archaic instruments, enforcing an aura of pastoral beauty. At the crossroads where heartfelt folk tunes meet dreamlike ambience, Hagathorn grows. The enchanting craft on Hartwold transports the listener into the serene yet majestic wilderness, where the past is still alive. For fans of Tenhi, Forndom, Garmarna, Kaunan, Tervahäät, Lönndom, Ruumisto.
