release-2022
album - "pagans rising"
September 30 - 2022 (ViciSolum)
”The Swedish Symphonic Progressive Metal band is back with their second album “Pagans Rising”. Along with the powerful lead vocals of Tina Gunnarsson. This concept album definitely has great songwriting mixed with strong choruses and male growl. It´s a perfect blend of spellbinding guitar melodies, chugging riffs, dark symphonic orchestrations and progressive elements. It has been written with inspiration and history of Sweden’s witch-hunting hysteria in the late 17th century. This release is a much heavier and darker version of HEXED"
Behind the dark and unique sound of this masterpiece is the talented mixing/mastering engineer - Ronnie Björnström at BLP Sound. (Sorcerer, Meshuggah, Aeon, etc.)
All artwork is done by Giannis Nakos - Remedy Art Design. (Evergrey, Amaranthe, Oceans Of Slumber, etc)
