After more than two decades of silence, Finnish cult black/epic metallers and pioneers of the sceneDARKWOODS MY BETROTHEDcarve their long-awaited comeback in stone by signing a worldwide record deal with Napalm Records!
In 2020, the old horde from the original line-up rejoined forces, now augmented by former session keyboardist Tuomas Holopainen as a full member of the band, bringing a significant contribution to the creative process, and Kai Hahto (bothNightwish) as session drummer.
Founded in 1993 in Kitee, Finland,DARKWOODS MY BETROTHEDquickly gained a cult status in the black metal underground. In 1995, they released their debut album,Heirs of the Northstar, followed by sophomore album,Autumn Roars Thunder(1996), andWitch-Hunts(1998). Shortly after, the pagan flame ofDARKWOODS MY BETROTHEDbecame but a fleeting glimpse in the nocturnal darkness of Eastern Finland. But it never faded away completely.
