Discover the rich visual and musical heritage of folk traditions through a unique collection of interviews, rare promotional artwork, and archival material gathered over eight years. Rather than presenting a chronological history of folk music, this volume offers a personal journey through the artists, imagery and stories that continue to shape the genre today. From pioneering acts that blended traditional melodies with contemporary music to modern artists exploring ancient myths, folklore and cultural identity, the book captures the many ways folk traditions remain alive and relevant.

Features exclusive interviews with: Dead Can Dance, Anathema, Jarboe, Arabrot, King Dude, Nytt Land, Hekate, Michael Hirst, Leon Hendrix, Árstíðir, Ataraxia, Pavey Ark, Atlas Pain, Caspar Brötzmann, Cellar Darling, Conny Ochs, Darkher, Feuerschwanz, Forefather, Furor Gallico, Green Carnation, Henry Diltz, Ignea, Kaunan, Korpiklaani, Leila Abdul-Rauf, Lord Orots, Morgan Rider, Mütterlein, Noéta, Orphaned Land, Saltatio Mortis, Skyclad, Solomonar, Spectrale, Subterranean Masquerade, The Chant of Trees, The Lovecraft Sextet, Theigns & Thralls, Wilderun, Wisdom of Crowds, and Wolcensmen.

Alongside the interviews is a carefully curated collection of rare flyers, posters, promotional artwork and memorabilia, preserving the visual identity of folk concerts, festivals and underground releases. Many of these pieces were originally created as temporary promotional material, yet today they serve as valuable documents of music history and graphic design. An engaging read and a beautifully illustrated archive.
