Danefae is a pensive and unique act on the danish prog rock scene. Their nordic vibe and expression manifests itself not only in the band’s arrangements but also in their danish lyrics. The dynamic range of the band is wide - from intimate small interludes to big metal-inspired riffs. A stunning patchwork of sound that will leave you breathless in the best way!
