Wederganger was formed in Arnhem, Gelderland, by Alfschijn, MJWW, and Botmuyl in 2013. Wederganger consists of a core of three founding members (Alfschijn, Botmuyl, MJWW) and several session members. Music and lyrics (in Dutch) are inspired by Germanic eschatology and Gueldrian folklore dealing with spirits, undeath and horror. Wederganger's style is characterized by the use of both screams and chants, and dissonant chords.
