Heidra is a new shooting star in the Danish metal sky. So much was established on a windy night in March, where Heidra swept away all competition at the fourth edition of Mighty Fight Night. Along with the victory came a record deal with Mighty Music and an appearance at this year's Copenhell Festival alongside bands such as Iron Maiden, Twisted Sister and many more.

Copenhagen-based Heidra play a melodic mix of black metal, power metal and folk music. With their music they have created a name for themselves in the folk metal scene, which continues to grow steadily these days.

Heidra have just completed their debut album, "Awaiting Dawn", in Andy La Rocque's (King Diamond) Sonic Train Studios. The album was engineered by Olof Berggren and mixed and mastered by Andy La Rocque.

"We try to always challenge ourselves and we're inspired by many different genres when we write music. Our sound has many different aspects, but the most important thing for us is to write good songs with memorable melodies ' I think we succeeded in doing that with Awaiting Dawn," says lead singer Morten Bryld.
