Vihmana is a Madrid‑based death/folk‑metal project active since 2007, built around the vision of multi‑instrumentalist Nacho Hernández. The project blends melodic death metal, dark folk, and ritualistic ambience, creating a sound that feels both ancient and introspective. Vihmana’s music often revolves around ruination, forgotten places, and esoteric mystery, with a strong atmospheric component that sets it apart from more traditional folk‑metal acts.
Their debut EP Templo (2009) introduced this hybrid approach: heavy riffs intertwined with folk textures, ambient passages, and a sense of spiritual decay. The full‑length Un ocaso trascendente (2013) expanded the project’s scope, offering a deeper, more immersive journey through melancholic melodies, layered vocals, and mythic‑tinged storytelling. The album stands as Vihmana’s most complete artistic statement to date.
Vihmana remains active under Nooirax Producciones, continuing to occupy a unique space in the Spanish underground—where death metal, folk mysticism, and atmospheric experimentation converge.
