Isatha

The band was founded in January 2010 under the name Isatha (meaning 'forefather'). Our basic concept was to play folk metal with clean female vocals and growling, coupled with heavier musical themes. Our first album, entitled Erdei Regék ('Tales From the Forest') was released in 2013 containing 9 songs. Our work afterwards was hindered by several member changes, but recently we have found our new fix lineup, allowing us to start writing new songs with full force. Our lyrics, which had thus far been in Hungarian, are being written in English now. The heavy guitar riffs are balanced out with flute, keyboards, and clean female vocals. In May 2018 we released our EP Tavaszi szél ('Winds of Spring'), and started working on our new album. We play regularly in the clubs of Budapest, small festivals, and multiple times we have been invited to play at Rockmaraton, the biggest rock/metal festival of Hungary. Outside of Hungary we had the chance to play several times in clubs in Romania, and during our first tour in 2018 we played finally in Czechia and Croatia as well.
