Almost for the two decades, the band hasbeen fighting under the flag of Latvian Pagan Metal, an extreme blend oftraditional Baltic Folk music and various Metal influences ranging fromNorwegian inspired Black Metal through to 80s-rooted Heavy Metal. The band'sunique combination of ancient and modern influence has given them a wide appealthroughout both the Metal and Folk scenes, and has brought great variety totheir song writing over the course of the six Skyforger albums.

The first of these was unleashed from theforge in 1997. Titled 'Semigalls'Warchant', the demo album told tales of the last free Pagan tribes of theBaltic peoples; and their struggles with Christian invaders throughout thethirteenth century.

These tales of ancient tribal Latvia andits Heathen tradition were to be expanded upon in 1998 with Skyforger's firstfull-length album, 'Kauja pie Saules'('The Battle of Saule'). Later, in 2000, band followed with their thirdrelease, the First World War themed album 'LatvianRiflemen'.

Skyforger signed to the German label Folter Records and soon the world saw therelease of their newest Pagan Metal masterpiece, - 'Thunderforge', which was a fine return to their old themes ofancestral culture and Heathen gods. The next album in line, recorded also in2003, was the self-released 'Sword Song',- an album of purely acoustic Latvian Folk music and a long coming tribute totheir ancient forefathers' heritage.

In 2005 Folter Records released the 'Semigalls' Warchant' album on CD format.

Skyforgerspent next few years working on a conceptual album about the legendary Latvianfairytale hero, Kurbads, who was born magically from the white mareand did many great deeds. The album, similarly entitled 'Kurbads', was released worldwide via Metal Blade Records in 2010.

Through the years, band has been busy onstages all over Europe and Skyforger is well known for their non-compromisinglive performances. Right now, band is working onnew yet untitled album.
