NORTHERN WARRIORS#Style: Folk Metal
NORTHERN WARRIORS#Origin: Russia
NORTHERN WARRIORS#Lyrics: Paganism, Mythology
NORTHERN WARRIORS#Year: 2009

The history of “Kalevala” begins in spring 2007, when Ksenia and Nikita left “Nevid” (Moscow pagan-metal) after having arguments with Lesiar (the Nevid’s frontman).
After that scillfull and experienced musicians were found and group began to write new songs. The first demo was recorded in september 2007 and consisted of two songs “Pastushok”(“A cowboy”) and “Goy, Olen!” (“Goy, Deer!”). The first show was held on the 5th of october of the same year. The project began to evolve impetuously after that, and concerts were held not only in Mosow and Saint-Petersburg.
In april 2008 the label Sound Age Production released the first disk called “Kudel belosnedgnogo l’na”( “The Tow of the White-Snow Flax”). That really amazing mixture of cheerful folk tunes, unique Ksenia’s singing, highly skilled leading guitar and accordion play left very few people unfazed.
