Artists and programme
Nikns Suns
Nikns Suns, named after latvian expression for raging dog, is a charismatic group that creates symbiotic mixture of traditional folk music and heavy rock.
Their music, filled with ancient might and sparkling energy has been highly esteemed by folk, rock and metal music enthusiasts alike. Having dug out the ancient songs which harmonise with the band’s personal beliefs, Nikns Suns transforms them into modern rhythm music context without losing touch with the original.
Stories of band’s powerful and authentic stage presence at concerts have become folklore on their own.
They released their first album named “Kuri koer” in summer 2011 and their second album “Urjoh, hunti!” in summer 2017, which was nominated for the best metal album award at The Estonian Music Awards 2018.
