HISTORY :
At the time, the Rimmerfors merely played folk music with medieval undertones, performing on contemporary instruments, but together with their childhood friends, they changed it into a refined band possessing the best of both worlds: the weight of heavy metal in a symbiotic releationship with the typical melodic language and melancholy of Nordic folk.
After playing some live shows in Sweden, the band soon developed a large following and then, their first demo and the following EP were a great success and immediately sold out. Their official forum was on Sword Chant website for years since 2008. Later, they signed to Napalm records for their debut album.
In 2014, the band adds a new member : Per-Owe Solvelius plays guitar for the band in full time until september 2022.

HISTORY :
The Rimmerfors brothers and a couple of members from the metal band Pathos founded FEJD in 2001. Fejd, said that way, means "quarrel". The Rimmerfors’ interest in Swedish medieval folk music dates back to 1995, when both began studying music and becoming more interested in exploring the new musical territories they uncovered along the way. However, the brothers’ musical backgrounds, as well as those of their bandmates, found their roots in heavy metal.
