WELJAR is an emerging band that blends elements of folk, black metal, and atmospheric rock to create a sound that is both haunting and powerful. Drawing inspiration from the natural landscapes of their homeland and the deep-rooted traditions of Slavic European folklore and shamanism, their music often features ethereal melodies interwoven with heavy, distorted guitar riffs and raw, impassioned vocals. WELJAR's lyrics explore themes of nature, mythology, and introspection, inviting listeners into a world that feels both ancient and timeless. Known for their intense live performances, the band creates an immersive experience, using atmospheric lighting and visuals to amplify the emotional impact of their sound. With a growing fanbase and a reputation for pushing genre boundaries, WELJAR is quickly making a name for themselves on the metal scene. As the band beautifully summarises:
We sang songs as we sowed.
We sang songs as we baked bread.
We sang songs as we hunted.
We sang songs as we celebrated.
Songs were sung as we were born and as we passed away.
When the day was long and the night was long.
Old songs have been forgotten.
We write new ones.
