FEJD Signs With NAPALM RECORDS

December 19, 2008

FEJD, the Swedish folk rock/metal band featuring members of NOSTRADAMEUS and PATHOS, has inked a deal with Napalm Records. The band's new album, "Storm", will be released in the spring.

Commented the band, "No label could be more 'right' for us, as we've reached a new chapter in FEJD's history. Napalm Records has a fine tradition of folk-inspired acts and the enthusiasm needed to make this into something big and historic. Together FEJD and Napalm Records will take on the world by storm in 2009."

FEJD formed in 2001 through a fusion of the folk music duo RIMMERFORS (featuring brothers Patrik Rimmerfors and Niklas Rimmerfors) and a couple of members from the metal band PATHOS. Rimmerfors played folk music with medieval undertones, performing on contemporary instruments, and together with their childhood friends of PATHOS, the transformed into a refined band with the best of both worlds — the weight of heavy metal in symbiosis with the typical melodic language and sadness of the nordic folk music.

The brothers' interest in Swedish medieval folk music started back in 1995, commenced by music studying and the feeling of wanting to explore new musical ground and try something new. The brothers' musical background, as well as their bandmates, has its roots in heavy metal music. Inspiration is also drawn from like-minded bands such as GARMARNA and HEDNINGARNA.
