This rising post-metal band was formed in the ancient Viking city of York, while its soul – vocalist Helga Gabriel – grew up among the remote forests and lakes of rural Sweden. Singing in a church choir from an early age, she always knew that her true sanctuary was the untamed Nordic wilderness. That profound bond with nature still resonates through every song the band creates.

Helga’s ever-evolving sound brings together Swedish folk, progressive and black metal, post-rock, and cinematic soundscapes. Distilling these diverse influences into a seamless and compelling musical language is both the band’s greatest challenge and its defining strength.

Their acclaimed debut album “Wrapped in Mist” explores themes of mortality, longing, and inner struggle, establishing HELGA as one of the most exciting new names on the atmospheric folk and metal scene. Against the dreamlike landscape of Ventė, Helga’s performance promises to be a deeply moving and magic experience.
