“Ulveham” is based on a medieval balled, and like other historical legends and songs it carries an important moral. The song is a story of young maiden that undergoes a series of injustices, but by upholding justice and goodness, even in the toughest trials, she triumphs over evil forces and breaks the curse placed upon her. Gåte emerged as a cultural gem in the early 2000s, seamlessly blending traditional Norwegian folk music with explosive rock, catapulting them from the confines of a practice space to grand stages in record time! With this unique take on folk/trad rock and their triumphant live shows the band has managed to captivate massive audience. Gåte’s music is a dark, mesmerizing and stunningly beautiful take on Nordic folk. Where they flirt with elements from traditional Norse and pagan music as well as from more modern genres like rock and industrial.

Lyrics: Eg var meg så ven og fager ei møy Med stimoder vond, mi moder ho døy Ho skapte meg om til eit svær og ei nål Og sende meg av ti kongens gård Og vreida mi stimoder kjende mest Når alle dei gillaste lika meg best Ho gav meg ein ham som ulve grå Ho svor meg einsam i skogjen gå Og aldri blir eg heil og god Før eg fær drukkje min broders blod
