Skyforger
Skyforger is a heavy metal band from Latvia which was formed in 1995 out of the remains of doom metal band Grindmaster Dead.
Most of their songs are about pagan gods and warfare; they also play traditional Latvian folk songs and metal covers. Although Skyforger is known for their folk metal, their style on their demo ''Semigalls' Warchant'' is essentially black metal.〔(Skyforger biography page at metalstorm.ee )〕〔(Lordsofmetal review of ''Semigalls Warchant'' demo )〕〔(Metalcoven review of ''Semigalls' Warchant'' reissue )〕 The band also has performed and recorded a number of folk songs, including the entirety of their fourth album ''Zobena Dziesma'' (''Sword Song''), released in 2003.〔(Metalcoven review of Pērkonkalve (''Thenderforge'') )〕 Folk elements can be found on all of their albums. In December 2005, during the presentation of their latest album, ''Semigalls' Warchant'' (2005), the band announced their next album would be an experimentation with thrash metal. They later pointed out that Latvian history still has enough untold stories, meaning their lyrics will probably retain their folk/pagan fashion.
In 2010 Skyforger signed with American label Metal Blade Records and released a new studio album ''Kurbads''.
==Controversy==
Skyforger were involved in a minor scandal with one of their former producers who believed they were affiliated with Neo-Nazism. The reason for this was the cover of their album ''Thunderforge'', which depicts a pagan god striking an anvil while bearing a pendant resembling depictions of Nazi "ancient Aryans", as well as the swastika, or sun cross, incorporated in Skyforger's logo. Some websites have therefore listed Skyforger as a Neo-Nazi band. The band denies any such claims and doesn't display any Nazistic tendencies in their lyrics. The first two Skyforger albums even had "No Nazi stuff here" written on their back sleeves. 〔http://skyforger.lv/en/index.php?main_page_id=21&page_type=text〕
