Eldgammel (Demo is released!)

About Me

Eldgammel is a Viking/Folk metal band based out of Red Deer, Alberta and is now located in Edmonton, Alberta. The group was originally started in June 2006 when Jeff Black began writing folk metal music and recording it on his keyboard at the age of 16. Eventually, other musicians began showing interest in the project, and a full line-up was formed, allowing Eldgammel to perform live shows and project the music in a much more energetic atmosphere. After winning a high school battle of the bands competition, Eldgammel took the prize of 4 hours of studio recording time and released a single promotional song called 'Path to Valhalla' which was greeted with enthusiasm from the folk metal fanbase.Throughout 2007, Eldgammel performed many times at other school functions, with other metal groups at self-promoted gigs and also played at a Norwegian culture festival. Eldgammel performances were well-recieved, and Many T-shirts bearing the Eldgammel logo are floating around Alberta. In October 2007, Eldgammel hired David Parks and Griffin Kissack of the Calgary-based metal group Dark Forest to record Eldgammel's debut release. After some grueling sessions, a 4-song demo was procured, featuring a production value far beyond anything Eldgammel had done in the past. Around this time, Eldgammel also made their debut show in Edmonton to a large audience at the Mead Hall.In Febuary 2008, 'Warrior's Doom' was released by Eldgammel. The first (homemade) pressing, limited to 100 hand-numbered copies can be ordered through the band via e-mail, messages or bought from band member directly or at live shows. Eldgammel is currently in songwriting mode, and is overhauling their live set with fresh, and exciting new VIKING METAL material. Eldgammel wants to see you on their battlefeild!To be continued...- Jeff
