$LAMENTARI + Danefae \/\/ Mejeriet$

The Danish progressive metal band Danefae conjures a world of nature, myths, and magic on their second album Trøst. At the heart of the band’s expression is vocalist and lyricist Anne Olesen, who draws on Danish legends and literature to craft personal stories, delivered virtuously through the band’s organic, complex, and melodic music.
Danefae began as Anne Olesen’s solo project in 2017, while the band took its present form when the four members started studying at the conservatory. Here, in an environment dominated by jazz and pop, they found each other through a shared love of rock and progressive metal. The lyrical inspiration is drawn from nature, the Danish language, folk legends, and songs.
Complementing the locally rooted language and its layers of meaning, the Nordic tonal language became central to Danefae’s melodies. This fusion of the progressive and Nordic musical traditions forms the core of the band’s distinctive style, which can be simply described as progressive metal with Danish lyrics.
