SKYFORGER to celebrate the release of the new “FOLKTALES” album with a grand show at Arena Rīga in May 2025

Latvian Folk/Pagan Metal warriors SKYFORGER will be celebrating their 30th anniversary in 2025 and invite friends and fans from around the world to the launch party of their new album “FOLKTALES” on 3 May 2025 at Arena Rīga, Latvia.

For the past few years, SKYFORGER have been busy unearthing a selection of finest gems from the rich depths of Latvian history and folklore, now polished to perfection in “FOLKTALES”, their first release in ten years.

Vocalist Pēteris KVETKOVSKIS says: “The days of fables, tales and stories being handed over from generation to generation are long gone. This tradition is not coming back ever. Fortunately, we still have so much of it noted down and preserved. In our latest album, we wanted to take the listener back to those mythical olden days when gods, deities, devils, witches and werewolves walked among people, and there were all these mysterious and wondrous places and sites right next to us, here in Latvia, that our ancestors wanted to to tell us about."

In a grand two-hour set, SKYFORGER will be thundering through their brand new compositions and old fan favourites alike. The band promises spectacular visuals and a performance by special guests, whose identity will be revealed at a later point.

The 3 May show will be SKYFORGER’s first performance of the year in Latvia.

Tickets are available now at a special price on 13 December at 12.00.

SKYFORGER formed in 1995 when the young doom metallers of “Grindmaster Dead” developed an interest in the actual history and traditions of their ancestors. The unique SKYFORGER sound is a blend of Pagan, Folk, Heavy and Black Metal and tells stories of the Latvian people from prehistory to World War I and their lyrics cover everything from epic folk heroes to mythology and ancient rites.

In the 30 years of activity, SKYFORGER have released seven albums and played live in over 30 countries, conquering the hearts and minds of fans at home and across several continents with their signature alloy of Latvian lore and pounding heavy metal.

Their memorable stage presence have earned them the stripes of Latvia’s premier heavy metal export and a rock solid spot in the pantheon of the world’s leading Pagan Metal bands.

SKYFORGER are: Pēteris – vocals, guitar; Edgars "Zirgs" - bass; Alvis – guitar, Jānis – drums.
