Galdorcræft is a Dark Neo Folk band based in Staffordshire, UK, formed in 2020 by Kliff Moon & Marie Moon along with Matthew Wudotun.
Their music blends ancient and contemporary instruments, drawing inspiration from history, nature, and the world of the Gods. Galdorcræft's sound is a fusion of ritualistic expression and imaginative intent, where rhythm, melodies, and vocals converge to create a unique musical experience imbued with magick.
The band’s debut album, The Nine (2023), earned high praise for its innovative use of Old English and archaic instrumentation. This foundation paved the way for a landmark year in 2026, beginning with a nomination for Best Folk & Acoustic Act at the Radio Wigwam Awards, where their hard hitting single "Barghest" secured a prestigious third-place finish.
In a significant evolution of their journey, Galdorcræft signed with the renowned Grimfrost Records in early 2026. This partnership followed after the independent release of the single "Stígr," a track that served as the first glimpse into the video game NORSE: Oath of Blood (developed by Arctic Hazard and published by Tripwire Presents).
On February 3rd, 2026, the band released “Legacy” their first official single under the Grimfrost banner leading up to the anticipated second album.
Musically and thematically, Galdorcræft draws heavily from the rich cultural legacies of the Germanic and Celtic traditions. Their compositions transport listeners to a time when the Gods were venerated, utilizing a traditional arsenal of ancient and bowed lyres, Moraharpa/Nyckelharpa, jaw harps, horns/Carnyx, skin drums, bones, and antlers.
Through their partnership with Grimfrost Galdorcræft continues to offer a powerful modern reinterpretation of historical and mythological themes.
