Interviews

At Tuska this year, we sat down with Jemina and Henri from the Finnish dark folk act Noiduin to talk about how they channel their own country’s folklore, pagan history and ancestors in their music and performances, how tricky it can be to work with traditional, self-build instruments and how they hope people can connect with something deep inside themselves when listening to their music.

Heilung is always such an impressive experience, more than just another concert, it’s a ritual every time leaving us energized and exhalted by the flow of energy radiating from this collective. We really didn’t want to miss out on their last tour for awhile and caught them at their very first stop in Helsinki! They brought their good friend Eivør with them to warm up the crowd with her spellbinding voice and music, which is such a darn good match always!
