◄◊► EUROPEAN METAL CHANNEL ◄◊►: SYLVATICA

Folk/Melodic Death Metal from the swamps of Denmark is here to draw any unwelcome guest inside the murky depths...
Sylvatica started as a folkish black metal projekt in the year 2009 by friends Pelle Buch and Rasmus Kaibe, who, while listening to Svartsot, in a drunken haze decided that they wanted to start a folk metal band. Realizing that none of them could play flute, and they needed a guitarist, they called Jardén Schlesinger the same night and he was added to the "line-up" after that, and the flute was scrapped.

The first Sylvatica release was the song Mjölner og Mjöd, which quickly became a local hit in their hometown Nyborg, even though it was very poorly recorded and mixed, by Kaibes bigger brother, they started getting a name for themselves, and after a couple of line-up changes, Sylvatica recorded their first EP / demo Sagn og Sagaer in late 2010 with the new line-up, consisting of Jardén Schlesinger and Jannik Ravn on guitars, Thomas Haxen, replacing Kaibe, on bas and Pelle Buch on drums. This release earned the band livejobs with Vanir and Svartsot.

After a couple of months, the band decided in the summer of 2011 to record a new EP / demo called Mosemanden, but this time without Jannik, who decided to leave the band. For the promotional live shows after the recording, the band took in guitarist Thor Stokholm, who filled in for Jannik for a few shows untill they found a permanent replacement in Martin Hamann, who joined the band just before the Mjød og Mædl tour in 2011. After 2012 Martin Hamann was no longer a part of Sylvatica

Having toured all of Denmark in 2011 and 2012, the band has now gradually upgraded itself from a spare-time hobby to a fully fledged band, looking for a label to support it's debut-album. The band has, however, not stepped back in regards to live performances, still actively playing concerts whenever possible, the band is both playing nationally, and abroad, if possible, so keep your eyes open, Sylvatica might just one day bring the swamps to your doorstep, and deliver a show you won't soon forget.
