In the night and darkness, Hekate reigns.
\nComposed of three bodies, each with their own distinct powers, she guards the moon, crossroads, and holds the key to the portal between worlds. The vocal trio HEKATE\u2014Malin Alander, Silje Risdal Liahagen, and Synn\u00f8ve Br\u00f8ndbo Plassen\u2014opens the door to a new musical realm where ancient power meets modern club energy.
\nAll three are acclaimed solo artists on the Norwegian music scene, and together they have quickly established themselves as a unique force in contemporary Norwegian folk music. With performances at Tuvas Blodklubb, Motvindfestivalen, Celtic Connections, Folkelarm, and NRK\u2019s Lindmo, Hekate has captivated audiences with raw, intense kveding(traditional vocal style) and a commanding presence that invites both deep listening and ecstatic dancing.
\nSl\u00e5ttetralling, a traditional form of Norwegian vocal dance tune improvisation, has a long history in Norway. After many years as a lesser-known part of the folk tradition, it has seen a renaissance in recent decades. The album features sl\u00e5ttetralling from various regions across the country, with improvisation as a central element. The trio\u2019s voices\u2014distinct yet complementary\u2014create a dynamic soundscape with a broad tonal palette.
\nHEKATE emerged from a desire to bring sl\u00e5ttetralling into the spotlight and a clear vision of song as the very backbone of the dancefloor. With the aim of generating euphoria for both dancers and listeners, they\u2019ve crafted a universe fueled by rhythmic interplay and intense energy.
\nDrawing from the powerful, feminine energy historically tied to sl\u00e5ttetralling and the strong bond that arises in unison singing, HEKATE brews a potent witches’ potion of uncompromising kveding in a club setting.
\nThey deliver powerful, unapologetic traditional singing in a modern context\u2014a fierce sonic spell for both dancefloors and deeply listening souls.
