Hulda - "Forest of the Night" - by Dan Bernal

This collection of early '80s-ish rock tunes nestles itself somewhere between The Cranberries and Joan Jett, slightly burned-out chick-fronted grind with less hope in their lyrics than heart. The tempo, keys, and style vary little from song to song, but at least they don't diversify your ass into confusion. Themes include ancient Greek deities, an impending ice age, and the titular "Forest of the Night"... with Dio nowhere in sight (at his size, that's not really their fault). Any set of boobs on stage is a step up, stand on these and the view will improve. (www.huldarockandroll.com)

Hulda set out with their debut album "Forest of the Night" to create something unique and original. At the same time Hulda acknowledges influences such as Kiss, Cheap Trick, Blondie, Nirvana and The Ramones. Hulda's vision is to combine invention and rock is expressed with a mixture of classic and new styles. "Forest of the Night" is one of the most unique sounding debut albums on the new millenium.

"Forest of the Night" takes you on a trip, it presents a puzzle that makes you think, that makes you feel the full spectrum of human emotions, the album entertains you and provokes you to ask questions that should be asked. So how does "Forest of the Night" sound? Glad you asked.

Hulda brings together four friends, each with a love of music and their own talents to bring a different feel to hard rock music. An excellent range of various influences from metal to Goth to classic rock and punk. By emphasizing attention to detail and the layers of sound, they have been able to stand out as a fairly new act that pleasantly surprises listeners and is winning over the loyalty of new fans one show at a time.

Founded in the spring 2003 in New York City by two ex pat. Australians Lydia and Al. They both had played in the same bands years ago and years
later completely by chance ran into each other. The duo had both been in punk, and rock bands, and aimed to write rock music that had an edge.

Declan and Keko came into the picture after answering ads for auditions in The Village Voice. There was instant chemistry between all four musicians. Hulda has since developed from a studio band into a polished live act. From the high energy of front woman Lydia and the powerful lead guitar skills of Al, to a strong rhythm section consisting of Keko on drums, and Declan on bass, Hulda encompasses all aspects of a successful rock band.

During the Spring of 2004, Hulda finished their first release full-length release "Forest of the Night". Fall plans include a tour in support of "Forest of the Night" LP. Look out for Hulda - coming soon to YOUR area!
