Editing Skyforger (section)

== Musical style and lyrical themes ==
Most of their songs are about [[Baltic mythology]] and warfare; they also play [[daina (Latvia)|Latvian folk songs]] and their metal arrangements. Although Skyforger is known for their folk metal, the style on their demo ''{{Interlanguage link|Semigalls' Warchant|lv|Semigalls' Warchant}}'' is essentially [[black metal]].<ref name="metalstorm.ee">{{cite web |title=Skyforger |url=http://www.metalstorm.net/bands/band.php?band_id=2362&bandname=Skyforger|accessdate=18 July 2018 |website=[[Metal Storm (webzine)|Metal Storm]]}}</ref> The band also has performed and recorded a number of folk songs, including the entirety of their [[acoustic music|acoustic]] fourth album ''{{Interlanguage link|Zobena Dziesma|lv|Zobena Dziesma (albums)}}'', released in 2003.<ref>{{cite web |title=SKYFORGER'S Sword Song Shows that Modern Folk Metal can be Deeply Authentic |url=http://www.metalinjection.net/tbt/122164 |accessdate=18 July 2018 |website=Metal Injection |date=May 17, 2018}}</ref> Folk elements can be found on all of their albums. In December 2005, during the presentation of their album, ''Semigalls' Warchant'', the band announced their next album would be experimentation with [[thrash metal]]. They later pointed out that Latvian history still has enough untold stories, meaning their lyrics will retain their folk/pagan fashion.
