I need some more pagan bands!

[rms]

So yah after grabbing Gernot and Thrud's albums, i've been dry on finding some good shit..anyone got some worthy recommendations!?

 

[Dr. Pete]

Here's a few to check out, if you haven't already:

Helrunar
Drautran
Farsot

 

[Diabolik]

best thing to do is go to Metal Archives and look up the pagan / folk / viking list and just just start listening to samples through links.....

I recommend...

Hordak
Vokolak
Krynitza
Svartsby
Izmoroz
Arkona
Alkonost


there are so many...

 

[EricT]

Izmoroz

Izmoroz is grand. I grabbed Na Zakate Bagrovom off of Dark Symphonies for 8$ after seeing "Side project of Ashen Light members"... was one of my better pretty much blind buys.

Gotta start doing blinds more often, much better of a feeling when they actually pay off.

Anyway, to continue the listing:

XIV Dark Centuries
(Later) Graveland
Obtest (I now wish I would have paid more attention to their set at HC2)
Manegarm
Aes Dana

 

[Diabolik]

I do blind buys each week and it is great. Mostly with the Russian Pagan stuff. So far only disappointed in one disc out of many.

 

[MetalNations]

Pagan Reign
XIV Dark Centuries
Obtest

 

[Reign in Acai]

Nachtfalke


BTW- I wouldn't categorize Farsot as "Pagan".

Pagan Reign
XIV Dark Centuries

These would be perfect additions to the bill.


The recommendation of latter day Graveland is RIA endorsed. <stamp it>

 

[Element_man]

Svarga
Munruthel
Nastrandir
Rarog
Slavland
Triglav
Varg
Valfeanor

Try these out!

 

[rms]

Thanks so far, know a few like XIV/Nastrandier/Slavland/Arkona/Hordak/Obtest(didnt care for vox) and ofc Manegarm

 

[Reign in Acai]

Obtest slayed at HCII! Puffy pirate shirts FTW!

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

Hells yeah

 

[Maggotcrusher666]

Still kicking myself for missing their set.

They have a new album coming out and just signed with Osmose and could probably use more exposure. Obtest for Heathen Crusade III!

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

One of the things that I loved about HC2, is that pretty much every band, with the exception of Earthen, was way fun live, regardless of how I felt about their albums. I'm not a huge fan of Obtest's albums, though I do enjoy them from time to time, but they were awesome. Same goes for Skyforger, I like their albums, but none of them ever became one of my favorites. They played my second favorite set of the fest.

 

[Reign in Acai]

I'd gladly pound the lead vocalist of Earthen with my Obtest. (Bal-Sagoth deep)


This thread is now NSFW.

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

You'd 'Feg her Hordes of Yore?

 

[Reign in Acai]

I'd Mael her Mordha with my Bronson.

 

[Diabolik]

not a fan of Earthen but what happened that someone would want to pound the singer? were they that dull live?

 

[War Ensemble]

This thread really changed from it's initial purpose. It makes me feel sorrow and bereavement.

Not pound as in assault, but pound as in "batter".

Brian, check the Royal Carnage Recommendation forum for my Pagan reco of the week.

I lol'd. This topic got good really fast.
