Russian black metallers DRAUGGARD release the official video for the song titled “The Dreams of Baldur” that comes from the band's full-length album “Da Nobis Tenebras” featuring Tomasz “Nefastus” Janiszewski (BELPHEGOR, DEBACHERY, LYFTHRASYR etc.) on drums. The video was directed, filmed and edited by Costin Chioreanu who also wrote the script for it. According to the director, DRAUGGARD video appeared to be the most labour-intensive of his creations. The band states that the video is rather a short movie full of symbols and signs than a simple music video in the broad sense of the word.

Press-release by Terror Records:
Formed in 2003 DRAUGGARD appeared to be the first band of the local Russian metal scene to perform raw, fast and evil black metal. Through several releases including “Baldr's Dreams” single and “Nidgedichte” EP consequently released by Swedish label Undead Propaganda, DRAUGGARD have gained a sort of a cult status among local Russian black metal fans. In 2008 DRAUGGARD took part in WACKEN ROAD SHOW in Kiev (UA) and Moscow (RU) sharing the stage with OVERKILL (US), ENSLAVED (NOR), SAMAEL (CHE), DEVILISH IMPRESSIONS (POL) and TRISTANIA (NOR). Soon after, several tours followed, including the headlining Ukraine/Russia tour in December 2012, and earlier tours with DIABOLICAL (SWE), HELLSAW (AUT), NECRONOMICON (GER), CONTRADICTION (GER), NUCLEAR WARFARE (GER) and EPISODE 13 (TUR) not to mention few shows with OMNIUM GATHERUM (FIN). Eventually DRAUGGARD have performed in almost each more or less big city of the central and Ural part of Russia as well as in Ukraine supporting ONSLAUGHT (UK), in Germany (BIFROST FESTIVAL @ Zeche Carl) and in Belgium (DISTORTION FESTIVAL, main stage). In addition, during their career DRAUGGARD opened for MARDUK (SWE), BELPHEGOR (AUT), ROTTING CHRIST (GRC), RAGNAROK (NOR), ASSASSIN (GER), CATAMENIA (FIN), ALESTORM (UK), OBSCURITY (GER), PANTHEON I (NOR) and many other strong acts. Backed by the local booking agency the band performs regularly live in cities of Russia and Ukraine looking forward to doing as many live shows as they can get. In view of the debut full-length album “Da Nobis Tenebras” with Tomasz “Nefastus” Janiszewski (BELPHEGOR, DEBAUCHERY, LYFTHRASYR etc.) on drums DRAUGGARD are going to tour Europe this summer and spread the disease released by Terror Records.
