Biography

  • Years Active

    2004 – present (21 years)

Oslovian band Elvarhøi plays varied folk metal, where Norwegian lyrics, Hardanger fiddle and tin whistles meet heavy guitars and drums in a way that doffs the hat to 70's folk-rock and prog, but in a fresh new way.

If Iron Maiden and Jethro Tull had a kid, who was equally into Primus, Simon & Garfunkel and Norwegian folk music, it might sound distinctly like Elvarhøi.

Current line-up:
Christopher Rakkestad on bass and vocals
Magnus Wandås on hardanger fiddle
Sean Murphy on flutes
Carl Engstrøm on drums
Martin Langebraaten on guitar
