Perchta were conceived in Tyrol, Austria in 2017 with an aim to preserve and rejuvenate regional traditions. Taking their name from an alleged pagan goddess, the band debuted their first record, Ufång, in 2020, establishing their reputation as a highly individualistic and unique act. With Perchta’s sophomore album, D'Muata, which translates from her Alpine Austrian dialect to English as "The Mother," mastermind and vocalist Frau Percht and her band have created a feminist manifesto within a folklore influenced black metal context. Femininity in all its facets is a rather niche topic in this genre although it is an inseparable part of everything human and the natural world around us.
