Noiduin (I cast a spell) is a Dark Folk act from Satakunta, Finland. Drawing inspiration from Finnish mythology and folklore, their music fuses self-built traditional instruments such as jouhikkos, kanteles, war drums and rattles with myth, atmosphere and raw emotion, creating a truly otherworldly sound. 

The project began in 2020 when multi-instrumentalist Jemina Kärvi started crafting and playing her own jouhikko. What started as a personal experiment quickly evolved into a full musical vision, resulting in the debut EP Korven kolkon kainalossa (2022). During this process, she teamed up with Henri Virolainen, whose deep roots in Finnish folk and metal music led him to join the project. Their second EP Alinen (2023) deepened their connection to Finnish mythology and dark folk aesthetics. As demand for live shows grew, Noiduin expanded into a full live band. 

In 2025, they released their debut full-length album Lovi, further refining their sound and lyrical world. That same year, their music was featured in the official “Call of Duty: Warzone & Black Ops 6” Season 4 trailer through Bjorth’s “Svinfylking” feat. Noiduin. In 2026, Noiduin represented Finland in the Wacken Metal Battle competition at Wacken Open Air in Germany. Noiduin now continues to captivate audiences with its handcrafted instruments and mystical dark folk, drawing from Finnish roots, ancient vocal traditions, and traditional soundscapes while shaping these influences into a contemporary sound of its own.
