About Darkwood

Darkwood is a German neofolk project formed in the late 1990s by musician and composer Henryk Vogel. Originating from Dresden, Germany, the band quickly established itself in the European neofolk scene with early releases such as “In the Fields” (1999) and “Notwendfeuer” (2006).

Darkwood is known for its acoustic-driven sound incorporating classical instruments, martial rhythms, and lyrical explorations of European history and identity.

After a series of albums and live performances across Europe, Darkwood continues to release music through specialized labels such as Heidenvolk.
