Eldgammel is a Viking/Folk metal band based out of Red Deer, Alberta and is now located in Edmonton, Alberta. The group was originally started in June 2006 when Jeff Black began writing folk metal music and recording it on his keyboard at the age of 16. Eventually, other musicians began showing interest in the project, and a full line-up was formed, allowing Eldgammel to perform live shows and project the music in a much more energetic atmosphere. After winning a high school battle of the bands competition, Eldgammel took the prize of 4 hours of studio recording time and released a single promotional song called 'Path to Valhalla' which was greeted with enthusiasm from the folk metal fanbase.
Throughout 2007, Eldgammel performed many times at other school functions, with other metal groups at self-promoted gigs and also played at a Norwegian culture festival. Eldgammel performances were well-recieved, and Many T-shirts bearing the Eldgammel logo are floating around Alberta. In October 2007, Eldgammel hired David Parks and Griffin Kissack of the Calgary-based metal group Dark Forest to record Eldgammel's debut release. After some grueling sessions, a 4-song demo was procured, featuring a production value far beyond anything Eldgammel had done in the past. Around this time, Eldgammel also made their debut show in Edmonton to a large audience at the Mead Hall.
In Febuary 2008, 'Warrior's Doom' was released by Eldgammel. The first (homemade) pressing, limited to 100 hand-numbered copies can be ordered through the band via e-mail, messages or bought from band member directly or at live shows.
In late 2008, a very heavy change in the band line up took place. Alex has taken over the postition of bass guitar, as bass is his primary instrument. Eldgammel also found a new drummer, Lewis, and a great lead shredder, Craig. It is currently undecided if Eldgammel will find a second guitarist, or stick with one player. The new line up consists entirelly of musicians who have recieved a jazz education, and the music is slowly taking new, and interesting forms. Eldgammel is currently rehearsing a new live set and hopes to bring their steel assault to life by late winer 2008. Expect more progressive and power influences from the new material. In October, the new Eldgammel hit the studio once again to re-record the popular song "Path to Valhalla" to feature the new band members. This new song will be followed by a demo of all-new Eldgammel material in the near future.
