Omnia are indeed Dutch. They are a pagan folk band who do a lot of European folk songs, and also their own pagan-themed compositions.
This is one of my faves, I like the whirling circular rhythm that the didgeridoo produces and how it begins to match the diabolical downward spiral of the narrative.

Speaking of didgeridoo, Xavier Rudd. No CD or You Tube clip conveys how brilliant he is live.
There have only been two times when I have heard music so powerful that it has almost knocked me to the ground. One was the Rizwan Muazzam Qawwali group who created that impact just through spiritual voice.
The other was Xavier Rudd with didgeridoo etc. The difference in the second case was that the tent was crammed full of Australians on their twelfth can of Fosters. It was quite an interesting experience.
