Both Ukraine 2021 and music by Gåte can be described as progressive folk-rock. Gåte has been around for longer than Go_A. with this style of music. They started the band in 2000 when the lead singer was 13.
The way she sings her "shouting notes" is from traditional Norwegian folk music and can be described as some kind of calling sound «lokking», a sound which is supposed to reach far so it needs to be loud. Its kind of a Scandinavian yodling-sound used also to call for a herd (sheep, cows etc) but also a calling sound used in folk tradition or by super natural beings like the «Huldra» uses to «trick» humans and animals to appear in the forest/mountains.
Gåte's music style is described as Norwegian folk music that is a fusion of metal and electronica. Gåte bases their music on traditional music, vocal folk music with texts from very old times. "Ulveham" is based on a text from the Middle Ages.
The song is a story of a young maiden that undergoes a series of injustices, but by upholding justice and goodness, even in the toughest trials, she triumphs over evil forces and breaks the curse placed upon her.
A stepmother is jealous of her stepdaughter who everyone likes and thinks is very beautiful, so the stepmother tries to turn her into different things...a needle, a knife, a sword. She casts a spell on her stepdaughter. Whatever she turns her stepdaughter into, people like it, so in the end she casts a wolf spell on her and banishes her to the forest, and the only way she can get out of the bewitchment is to drink her brother's blood. Later, the evil stepmother meets the wolf out in the forest and the wolf rips out the heart of the stepmother and eats it, and then it turns out that the stepmother was pregnant with her half-brother, so she drinks her brother's blood and becomes free. It is simply about free yourself from someone who has power over you, and you do it on your own terms.

Gate has a big advantage over Keiino 2019 or Queen of the kings last year : They will have a big televote result, but in addition they will be a jury favorite, so they will get so much more jury points than Keiino and Alexandra. So I wouldn't be surprise if they win the whole thing.

Good I don’t want Keiino again

It helps to get the story of "Ulveham" - an old norse myth, where a fair maiden must endure an evil stepmother (fairytale classic theme, so far..). Taken from the olden days, this tale is much darker. The stepmother eventually transforms her into a wolf and banishes her to live her life alone in the dark forest. The only way she can end the curse is by drinking her brother's blood.
