The Swedish duo Skald was formed by Hebbe and David in November 2005 with the idea to create pure, acoustic folkmusic. The idea was disbanded quite fast sinced they lacked certain instruments. Hebbe had written LOTS of lyrics inspired by the Scandinavian nature and it's old folklore, so the folk aspect was still the one to go. They released their very Otyg-inspired demo "Sagor Från Skogstjärnen" (Stories From The Forest's Bog) in March 2006 on their website (www.skald.mine.nu). Neither of them was satisfied with the demo, so they quickly began working on their second with a more proffessional approach and with a newfound confidence that the first demo lacked. Demo#2, "Trolska Vemodsband" (Trollish Bonds Of Agony) is scheduled for release in November 2006.
