A Tergo Lupi

“A Tergo Lupi” is the second part of a Latin saying, which in full reads: “A fronte praecipitium, a tergo lupi”: in front of you, the precipice; behind you, the wolves. Our project fits within the veins of Dark Folk. Permeated by dark and nostalgic atmospheres, it is characterized by the fusion of somber synth architectures and chorals with the raw voices of ancient instruments, by the ritual call of heavy rhythms to the embrace of sound. Strongly inspired by the sounds and traditions of European folk and neofolk, it is nourished by roots that delve into different terrains. Each of us has traveled through different musical paths, and we met on the surface, combining our distant experiences to give life to a project with two souls. A recurring element in our work is the use of the tagelharpa, shamanic drum and small percussion instruments, wood, bones and metal. We firmly believe that these instruments with ancient souls can reach and speak to that primordial part we have buried in the depths of our being, covered by new veils and heavy stones of extreme composure. We belong to our time and use synthesized sounds, choirs, electronics, and any other expression that allows us to create structures on which our voices can speak and express themselves best in the present.
