⚰️ VARANG NORD

Formed in Daugavpils in 2014, Varang Nord combine folk melodies, accordion and death metal, with the Latgalian language and Latvian and Latgalian history at the heart of their music.
They won the Wacken Metal Battle 2019, and performed in festivals like Wacken Open Air, Kilkim Žaibu and Full Metal Holiday, plus many more club shows around Europe.

Their latest album, Mygla, was released in 2025 and received the Latvian Metal Music Award for Best Album of the Year. The band was also nominated for a GAMMA Award for Metal Music Artist of the Year.

⚰️ RUNAOJA

Tallinn’s own Runaoja combine folk metal with storytelling, creating music that puts atmosphere, emotion and narrative at the centre. Their songs move between heavier passages and more immersive moments, while their live performances bring a passionate and engaging presence to the stage.

Runaoja are no strangers to The Krypt, having played here several times before and consistently receiving a strong response from the audience. They return to the venue for another evening of folk metal, this time alongside Varang Nord.
