by HORDAK

supported by

Quorthom By the grace of Odin I discovered this band from my country. Hail to them what a discover. Epic, riffs, ambient,... for me they have all I ask for a folk/pagan/metal album. You must focus on them. Thanx for your music Hordak

IDE A very, very good and less known pagan metal band's newest release. Death metal aggression was concealed and heavy metal dynamics rose. They stepped up on the highest stage with this album for the composing skill to the middle-paced metal songs. Pure heavy metal riffs and ensembles without needless brutality. Though I wanted a few faster songs, great is great. Favorite track: Ekleipsis – Devourer Of Gods.

Released by Casus Belli Musica on January 10, 2016. Cat. # CBM 027CD

The Spanish Celtiberian Pagan Metal warriors, known as HORDAK, come back with the fourth full-length album "Padre" after four years of expectation! This album is an obvious masterpiece in the best traditions of Pagan Metal. The new album develops ideas of "Under the Sign of the Wilderness" and "The Last European Wolves", but does it on a new plane. Perhaps, for today, it is the most mature work of HORDAK – powerful, furious, epic. The shattering onslaught of Spaniards is supported by the invited musicians: José Luis Frias (TROBAR DE MORTE, ex-FOLKEARTH) – flute, Laura Camón Botella – violin, Lavín Uruksoth (CRYSTALMOORS, GATHERING DARKNESS) – vocal, Wulfstan (FOREFATHER) – vocal. Ten tracks of the album are richly painted with dabs of an acoustic guitar, a flute, a violin and a xylophone. Melodious guitar solos and articulated bass parts will touch your feelings. Music of "Padre" will be found attractive not only by fans of Viking/Pagan Metal, but also by connoisseurs of heavy metal.

Cover art of the album is created by Kris Verwimp. The album is released as a matte laminated 4-panel digipack with two booklets! The second additional booklet contains the translation of lyrics into Russian by Sergey AR Pavlov. The CD is decorated with pit art drawing.

Must-have for fans of MANEGARM, THYRFING, FOREFATHER, CRYSTALMOORS, ANCIENT RITES, RUNNING WILD!

A Pagan black metal masterpiece. Folk and black metal elements fuse into one extremely catchy and awe inspiring album. This band does not disappoint from all the high praise sent it's way. Abyssius Murkraken

I'd say Havukruunu is the rightful holder of the Crown and the mantle of Quorthon. Epic choirs, vikingesque themes and tales from the other times, of the Finnish paganism back in the days before our ancestors were brought to the cross and forced to kneel while feeling the bloody sword of saviour on their throats made to kiss the hand of murderers who burnt thousands, tore down our holy places and took our holy days. Eyes teary I listen to these songs, never forgiving the crimes of the cross! Peikonmieli

Devoid of Light
by UADA

supported by 7 fans who also own “Padre”

Very late to the party, but for several years I've found melodic black metal all too similar and all albums sounding like Dissection, etc... HOWEVER, not only I am back into it but UADA is still a layer of complexity above the main baseline and this is an old album worth having, that's a basic milestone in UADA's discography and I felt it needed to be part of my BC collection. sachavonkarl74
