History
Formed in 1993, WAYLANDER released their debut demo, Once Upon An Era, in early 1995. Mixing Irish folk music with extreme Metal, Waylander were soon dubbed Folk, Celtic and Pagan Metal. In 1996, with the addition of a full time tin-whistle player, Waylander released their 2nd demo, Dawning of a New Age, which soon gained Waylander a prominent position in the fledgling Folk Metal scene.

This was cemented when Waylander signed to Century Media and in 1998, their debut album was released, entitled Reawakening Pride Once Lost. After overcoming some line-up changes, Waylander signed with Blackend Records and released their sophomore album, The Light, the Dark and the Endless Knot, in early 2001. In the last few years notable shows include Summer Breeze, Hammerfest, Hard Rock Hell, Bloodstockl, Day of Darknessl and Ultima Ratio Festival, as well as gigs all over europe with some of the biggest names in the industry.

In 2008 Waylander signed to Listenable records and released their acclaimed 3rd album "Honour Amongst Chaos" which received a fantastic reaction world wide.

Currently Waylander are writing their upcoming album on Listenable records, due for release Q1 2012.
