This is a personal request from the band. A band to be followed.

Drakum is a folk-metal band from Barcelona (Spain). The band started in December 2009, after a year looking for the right members. During the year 2010 we have been immersed in the composition of songs and recording our first demo.
Now in 2011 we are promoting the demo, starting doing live shows and looking for a label willing to bet on us and help us spread our music around the world.
The band influences go from folking bands as Korpiklaani, Eluveitie to death metal ones as Finntroll, Amon Amarth and some power metal bands such Alestorm, however the aim of Drakum is to do its folk-death metal own style.
