German folk metal band Harpyie release new single ‘Omen’, the second single from their forthcoming new studio album, Voodoo, to be released on 25th October through Metalville Records.
Guest featuring famous German streamer and musician Kalle Koschinsky, ‘Omen’ mixes medieval folk rock/metal infused with a 90s Eurodance heritage, acting as the ultimate party song.
Previously, the band released ‘Ikonoklast’ as a single, the band impresses with a modern and much fresher look than before, Harpyie having cast off their medieval shackles and entered a new era in their history with the song being a rebellious anthem concerning individualism and humanity.
Musically, a combination of strong nu-metal sounds, pop elements and modern sound elements, the five musicians are said to have injected Voodoo with “a powerful, cool and danceable charm – which can keep up with any modern top chart production”.
Hailing from Bad Oeynhausen in East Westphalia, since Blindflug their debut album back in 2012, Harpyie has played its way into the hearts of the German metal community with their authenticity and consistently individual approach.
Whether at the Wacken Open Air or the Summerbreeze, the five rebels have thrilled the young and genre-breaking target groups as well as the traditional metal fans. With their last album, Harpyie also made it into the German album charts reaching 34th place, and proved folk metal has mainstream appeal.
