Vévaki is an Icelandic neofolk and folk metal project founded in 2020 by multi-instrumentalist Will Hunter, rooted in Norse mythology, heathenism, and animistic traditions. Their debut album Edda (2020) was recorded as a solo effort before Vévaki expanded into a full band, and the follow-up Fórnspeki deepened the project's ritualistic atmosphere with broader instrumentation and additional full-time members. Signed to Season of Mist, Vévaki occupies a contemplative and mythos-driven space within contemporary Nordic folk music.
