RAVEN THRONE – As The Shadow Through Death – 2008 (Gardarika Musikk, GARD 003)

Cold Black Metal from Belarus

Following the paths of old winter, into the lost woods, like a shade through death and agony of a modern days... So hopeless, so desolate... Ancient memory of nature and primeval instincts of man unity. Voice from the past reachedthrough darkness.

Traditions of the best northern bands. The drizzling, rainy sound veil is pierced with splashes in far peals. Noise intros from beyond pass in forcing gloom dense riffs. Successful atmospheric support of the keyboard shades the basic line. A screaming vocal is full of anger.

Powerful analogies with Darkthrone and Immortal, with an slightly touch Primordial and Graveland - as strokes-reminders about Slavic and Celtic melodism.

Label Gardarika Musikk presents you this album "As the Shadow through Death".
Fine and cold, pagan black metal.

KURGAN – ...And Green Grasses Are Freezing Slowly – 2008 (Gardarika Musikk, GARD 002)

Fiercest hymns of unsilent storms! Fine folk melodies filled with increasing assault of black metal. "And hordes of winds and storms born right behind", green grasses tremble, old oaks rustle. Pagan heart begins to pound - almighty Gods of the Slavonic Pantheon are awoken in this music of ancient greatness and harmony.

Classical black metal sound in the veins of early works Satyricon and Immortal meets atmospheric and folkloric parts. But there is an unique sense of the melody, an unique sound. Vocal uses not only screaming, but also low growling and clean voice singing. Songs are written in Russian and Ukrainian to honour of great Gods and the native land.

Label Gardarika Musikk represents you the album "…And Green Grasses Are Freezing Slowly".

It’s a Masterpiece.

FEARLIGHT – Our Legacy – 2007 (Gardarika Musikk, GARD 001)
Fairy tale from the Shores of Neva-river

FEARLIGHT band is well-known since year of 2005. At first time it's followed doom metal as a leading line, but in search of own way they gradually comes to Folk Pagan metal with the same path of sound-quality. Taking for a model an experience of top-level Folk Pagan bands, FEARLIGHT has founded its own unique music style. It's been incarnating in the first album which releasing had been putting off for some time because of the musicians wanted their records had been produced with a maximal quality of sound and arrangements.

Label GARDARIKA MUSIKK is presenting "Our Legacy" - the first full-length CD-release of this band. Melodic and remaining in once's memory pagan doom metal well expands with folk influences. Whistle and bagpipe are be constantly added to a sound palette, reconstructingan ancient time picture vividly. The beautiful woman's voice harmonizes with growl and clear man's voices. A lyric represents a poetic viewing for old times from the present day and a deep own feelings. The band not uses only the modern sound of pagan metal but some classic's elements and age-old russian songs. Rapid songs and splendid ballads alternate in disc.

Album "Our Legacy" represents as a fine legend, as a sound weaving atmosphere with greatness of north landscapes, as a breath of morning fogs and never fading flame of pagan traditions.
