Lumsk is a Norwegian folk-metal band from Trondheim known for combining folk instruments and operatic vocals with heavy and progressive elements. Noted albums include Troll and Det Vilde Kor.

Reviews mention prominent members/performers such as vocalist Stine Langstrand and violinist Siv Elena Waterloo; instrumentation includes violins, cello, accordion and Hammond keyboards. Lyrics and themes draw on Norwegian mythology and literature (Det Vilde Kor sets texts by Knut Hamsun).

Two enthusiastic reviews highlight Lumsk's atmospheric blend of Nordic folk and metal, praising Stine Langstrand's operatic voice and the prominent violin work. The albums Det Vilde Kor and Troll are noted for neo‑romantic arrangements, medieval/folk influences and occasional doom‑metal riffs. Reviewers emphasize strong sense of place and literary connections (Knut Hamsun).

For:Fans of folk metal, progressive and symphonic folk, Nordic/Scandinavian melancholy, and literate metal with operatic vocals.

 The fresco is perfectly executed, the essence of Nordicism in musical terms, the neo-romantic folk operetta weeps with notes as pure as freshly forged crystal.

 Like an enveloping summer storm around the island of Runde near Ålesund, we receive the second work of the Norwegian eclectic folk-metallers, bringing delicate medieval atmospheres gently paired with solemn and powerful doom metal riffs.
