Forseti - Erde [2004]

Neofolk - Germany


Forseti is a neofolk project from Germany headed by Andreas Ritter. The music is best described as folk-inspired acoustic music, with the acoustic guitar as base instrument, and mainly supported by violin, flute and melodica. Lyrical themes include nature (religion), melancholy and citations from literature and mythology. The band Forseti was conceived in 1997, when Ritter bought his first acoustic guitar (though he made music beforehand).

Forseti has cooperated with many individuals in the neofolk scene, such as Uwe Nolte (Orplid), Douglas Pearce (Death in June), Kim Larsen (Of the Wand and the Moon), and B’Eirth (In Gowan Ring).

Ritter is reported to have suffered a heart attack in May 2005, causing him to lose some bodily functions and inflicting brain damage. This provoked the release of a collaborative album entitled Forseti lebt (“May Forseti Live”) in 2006, in support of the musician. Participating artists were: Sonne Hagal, Sonnentau, B’eirth (In Gowan Ring), :Of the Wand and the Moon:, Death in June, Waldteufel, Lux Interna, Northman, Fire + Ice, Darkwood, and Primus Inter Pares.

Daemonia Nymphe [Δαιμονία Νύμφη] - Daemonia Nymphe & Krataia Asterope


Daemonia Nymphe (Δαιμονία Νύμφη) were formed in the year 1994 and after a four years time intense creative period ,they released their debut album in 1998 under the title “The Bacchic Dance of The Nymphs” by the German record label Solistitium rec.This album focuses on a lyrical theme that ranges between the myths of the Hellenic antiquity and music that could easily be described as “theatrical”.

The same year, 1998, finds the project renewed and a strong core of musicians is consisted -musicians who compose music based on the aesthetic and theoretical border of ancient hellenic music.

One year later,a co-operation gradually changes the course of the band. We are referring to the meeting between Daemonia Nymphe and Nikos Brass , an instrument constructor who has managed to reproduce almost every ancient hellenic instrument by using his artistic skills, starting over from the year 1980 up to nowadays.

Daemonia Nymphe ,Nikos Brass and his assistants consist of a team in which the musicians are inspired and create with Lyre ,Kithara,Varvitos, and the constructors improve and make the instruments as perfect as possible.
