| Band biography |
It was her early love for british Gothic, New Wave and underground music that brought her to London in 1990, where she soon became part of the subculture scenes. Always searching, and always having had a fascination for the supernatural, life's mysteries and a deep connection to animals, she connected with various magic/pagan/witch circles. Exploring the dark sides of life, she further became a model in the fetish scene and a known act with notorious artistic performances (such as the Cradle of Filth shows).
Nebelhexë made quite an impact with the obscure, ghostly Dark Ambient project Aghast, which was released in 1994. She was also the woman behind the passionate Folk and tribal melodies of Hagalaz' Runedance, a project she dedicated to the pagan spirituality of northern Europe. Hagalaz' Runedance became very popular and hit the German album charts.
A passionate writer since '95, her writings, statements and comments have become quite acknowledged. She dared to speak against the inhibiting patriarchal religions that demonised our nature and many of her social-critical comments have been printed in alternative magazines and also in the biggest Norwegian tabloid papers/ magazines.
During her Hagalaz' Runedance period Andrea Haugen, as she is called in 'real' life, wrote the book 'The Ancient Fires of Midgard', discussing in detail her discovery of the germanic myths. Yet Andrea has made it quite clear many times that the focus on the northern myths was but a brief phase in her life period and she has since moved on a great deal, both artistically and spiritually. As she states; "Life is for living! Life is an amazing journey without limits and I am fascinated by all of life's mysteries and explore spiritual philosophies from around the world. I like real spirituality, real people and real achievements"...
Nebelhexë has certainly grown into a multi-artist who clearly runs her own show. She is often referred to as being one of the most intriguing personalities of the subculture. And many simply don't get her. Her music is placed in many different boxes and always falls in-between categories. And in our stereotype superficial world, this is sadly quite unfortunate if one wants to sell records.

"I'm a person who explores life and who has done pretty many wild things in her life... To me, art and magic/spirituality are connected. I try to awake deep emotions and visions that I hope will move something in the individual. What I hope to inspire people mostly with, is that they think for themselves and value their individual freedom. My art is usually quite inspired by dark images and surreal decadence, but it doesn't mean I am morose as a person... quite the opposite. In fact I am known to be real charming and funny (laughs)... to me 'dark' means a deeper intensity of emotions and a deeper understanding for the night-side of life..."
