Somehow happened on EUZEN last night, and spent a long time listening to their music.

I'm fascinated.

The music has this ancient feel of the 'folk metal' movement (Heilung, Eluveitie, etc.), without the metal part... but it's more modern than just folk music.

They also are REALLY on top of their media game. Not in an artificial promotional way... that's just the way they think. They feel like young people who really live and breathe the media tools we have today... but are mostly old guys, with a hot/alt singer.

Their YouTube channel has a trailer... a short "theme song" they wrote specifically about themselves and their philosophy, to introduce new people to their channel.

The "old guys in the band, with a hot singer" thing makes me think of Garbage, but not in a bad way... in the way that here are some people who know how to craft music and have chops, and they have all come together, regardless of age.

And there is a philosophical angle to their lyrics that speaks clearly and eloquently.

The singer is Danish, and has that curious Danish accent that comes through in her singing, as well.

I started with the highly produced video for Judged By.

Then went to their live footage, and was struck by Metamorph. Especially the spoken introduction of the song.

EUZEN are very different from my usual musical tastes. But I am fully intrigued.
