This band from the Czech Republic ( Plzeň) had already impressed me with their show at Eine In Teich festival (you can find the report in the special section) – and also the new Panychida CD appeals to me a lot. “Grief for an Idol” is somewhat a debut, at least in the western hemisphere. In their home country the band has already released 2 demos, 2 dvds, 1 EP, and 2 albums, and I guess this one will quickly get them more new fans in the west. In case the term “Pagan Metal” triggers thoughts of Finntroll, Moonsorrow, Ensiferum or Metsatöll, you are correct; partly I had to think also of In Extremo (bagpipes), Jon Lord (keyboard-sound) or Cradle of Filth, and even their fellow countrymen Root (vocal diversity). There´s also a bit of Norway to be found because Minnestund does not only refer to Scandinavian Black Metal but also features V´ganor (of HELHEIM/TAAKE).

You´ll have an intense epic listening experience, where beautiful tunes, catchy choruses, brutal riffs and progressive-creepy atmosphere are nicely balanced. Those guys can indeed write great songs (“Perchta”), and they also add an artistic (cover artwork) and a lyrical concept (texts mostly in English, one song features old-slavonic language) to the mix. You got to check out this band!
