Once, sequestered away in the far reaches of Swedish hinterland, a shrouded girl wandered alone through interminable forest. Chanting psalms amidst birch and pine, her choral voice drifted like birds through an evening mist.
The chapel choir she sang with had gifted and honed her voice, but woodland and lake would always be her church.
Her name – Helga.
Journeying west in 2019, Helga settled across the North Sea in the old Viking town of York, North Yorkshire.
Surrounded by pub-filled streets of cobblestone and restored Roman walls, York was host to droves of camera- laden tourists and scholars of two thriving universities.
These strange anachronistic surroundings would pave the foundation for a myriad of rueful reflections and musings, a far cry to the world Helga had left behind.
Previously, Helga had joined forces with Icons Creating Evil Art and released two solo EPs, "Nebulous" (2018) and "The Autumn Lament" (2019).
Not far away, three childhood friends (Cai, Cameron and Ryan) stared across a table at one another spellbound.
Playing together in various bands, such as ‘People as Places as People’, since 2009, they knew they had found something special.
Following several brief stints with different drummers, the band soon found its final element in the form of precocious poly-instrumentalist, Sami Javed. Teaming up with producer Luiz Felipe Netto, the quintet was complete.
Summoning a plethora of layers and genre, Helga culminated their premier album "Wrapped in Mist" into dirgeful lamentations of mortality and mental health, punctuated by formidable drums, spectral strings and chugging riffs.
