Artist Origin: IRL
Style: majestic epic pagan black metal

more than impressive return of Ireland’s most celebrated entity with a deeply gripping third longplay [2000], delivering stormy, epic pagan black metal filled with the roughest primordial, soul-baring emotions - sorrow and despair, strength and grandeur, beauty and ugliness, that gives meaning to the existential tragedy of Irish people through hypnotic waves and dynamic shifts, set against the power of driving, contrast-rich music and exceptionally spiritual creativity, highlighted by both monumental guitar character and theatrical, especially compelling vocal expression, creating a unique, deeply immersive, majestic experience, so it comes as no surprise that this record led them to essential recognition worldwide; recent German re-issue comes with a remastered sound, booklet enhanced with vintage photos and re-recorded demo track To Enter Pagan as bonus
