Arnhem, Netherlands-based folk metal band Heidevolk have released a music video for the track \u2018Drinking With The Gods (Valhalla)\u2019. Directed by Jaap Hogendoorn, the clip can be viewed below.<\/p>\n

The band stated: \u201cIt has been four months already since we released Wederkeer<\/em>. The positive feedback on the album has been overwhelming. Creating an album in the Dutch language that makes these kind of waves internationally still blows our minds and proves that music transcends barriers, even that of language. Today though we present you with a different version of the celebrated track \u2018Drink met de Goden\u2019. The lyrics of the song have been rewritten in the English language to tell the tale to those who haven\u2019t picked up on Dutch yet. With the new artwork by Christan Sloan Hall we intend to give you a peek into Valhalla where we\u2019ll be \u2018Drinking with the Gods\u2019. Enjoy!\u201d<\/p>\n

Heidevolk issued seventh full-length studio album Wederkeer<\/em> on February 24th, 2023 through Napalm Records.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter an unprecedented five-year wait since Vuur van Verzet<\/em> we are back with our new album,\u201d Heidevolk commented. \u201cWederkeer<\/em> will take you on an introspective journey through stories about growing up and crafting your own path. From hunting the aurochs to gain its untamed courage, to the mental struggles in the depth of a crisis. From the shield-wall to protect kith and kin, to the fierce fight of a senseless battle. We wrapped these stories in furious metal songs and folkloric soundscapes and we can\u2019t wait to share it all with you!\u201d<\/p>\n

Wederkeer<\/em> was recorded at Sandlane Recording Facilities, mixed by Joost van den Broek, and mastered by Darius van Helfteren.<\/p>\n
