Hagen... folk metal/70s rock

[Jim LotFP]

... thought you guys might enjoy this...


... just got the Corridors of Time album in the mail from the band, and it's very eclectic, very good.

Combines folk influences with metal, but with a heavy 70s rock feel with the old synthesizers and also a prog touch... band is made up of old younger and older guys (including Hans Lundin, who is part of Kaipa who just released a new CD on Inside Out...)... think Skyclad meets Deep Purple and you're 3/4 of the way there.

They have it available for listening at their website... www.hagen.nu, under releases, click on the cover...

WOW! Hehe... Checked out their sample of
"A summer air (Visan i sommaren)" and was
so bored I almost gave up, luckily I didn't!!!

I'm loving the music in "Sundown". As usual
I hate the vocals, but they'll grow on me...

Thanks for the tip! ))

Hmm? For a moment I thought someone might have called me,

Suppose cause Hagen's the other nick I use on some other forums, as well as my brother's name

Does that band's name derive from Hagen of Troneg? Oh, I remember omeone once told me that hagen has a meaning in Norwegian, right?

Well, I'll give it a listen, if it meets Skyclad in some way...cool!
