About the band
Taking their name from an alleged pagan goddess that older scholars tried to reconstruct as being worshiped in the Upper German and Austrian Alpine regions, Perchta formed in Tyrol, Austria in 2017. Indeed, with an aim to preserve and rejuvenate regional traditions.
Three years later, the band released their debut album Ufång (2020). Thus, they established their reputation as a highly individualistic and unique act. All lyrics of the entire album are intoned in the Tyrolean vernacular. The words are shrouded in a tempest of tremolo guitars and ritualistic folk with bone-piercing extreme vocals on top.
Once touring activities resumed after the global break, the band also began to earn attention for their outstanding live performances. Indeed, this strengthened the bonds within the band. Now the black witch of the Tyrolean mountains and her pack return with a magical new album! Undoubtedly, one that Perchta will also bring to the stage!
