Waldgeflüster, a metal band founded in 2005 by Jan "Winterherz" van Berlekom as a solo project, originated in Sankt Pölten, Austria. The band's origins trace back to Sankt Pölten, where van Berlekom began recording his first demo CD, Stimmen im Wind. In 2006, the demo was produced and released by Irminsul Records. In 2009, Waldgeflüster released their debut album, Herbstklagen, through Black Blood Records (a sublabel of Einheit Produktionen). The band expanded to include live musicians and began touring extensively across Europe. In 2011, they released their second studio album, Femundsmarka – Eine Reise in drei Kapiteln, which was well-received by critics and fans alike. Waldgeflüster is known for blending melodic black metal with acoustic and folkloristic elements, often focusing on themes of nature and Germanic mythology.
