• Bombastic vocals in Dutch;
• Influences from folk music;

• Early-medieval/pagan stage-act;
• Alternating slow & fast rhythms;
• Lyrics about the history of in the Netherlands, the Dutch province Gelderland, and the band’s love for .

Wherever Heidevolk goes, there will be pleasure. The ambiance of a performance by this band can be described as men sitting around a long wooden table with an abundance of beer, meat, and beautiful women.
