wow that first track is pretty awesome. where to start with those guys Dark?

Dark One · May 8th, 2008, 02:06 PM

Sear Bliss - The Arcane Odyssey is probably your best bet. It's their latest (2007) and the track you heard is from that one.

EDIT - Yep, spinning this again, and it's every bit the ass kicker it was when I first heard it. Their style should go over big time on the HC stage.

In that case, quit while you're ahead. Celts is possibly their best album. You really weren't moved by songs like "Giants of Stone" or "Dance of the Leprechaun"? Since Morrigan are essentially modern-day Bathory clones, they'll appeal to 99% of viking/black metal fans which is why they'll probably do well with an HC audience, or anyone who likes Blood Fire Death through to Nordland I & II.

Celts is easily their worst, and the newest one isn't far behind. IMO.

As it relates to Morrigan, I recall enjoying Headcult thoroughly.

Making a bid on the assumption this is ARKONA from Russia (not the Poles) my pledge is:

ARKONA - Troll Package, should they get enough support to be able to make it.

We also still have a substantial amount of ARKONA - In the Glory of the Mighty T-shirts left in stock: Gorgeous silk-screened, full-collor huge (15" x 20") images, double-sided, 100% cotton heavyweight fruit of the loom shirts, made in USA. From which I'd be glad to donate all profits after recouping the manufacturing expenses. Organizers, if intersted in this offer, please get in touch: metal[at]stormspell.com

Yep, it's definitely the band from Russia.

Very cool shirt by the way.

Yeah, it's the Arkona from Russia. At this point, I can only hope it happens, but it's not looking good.
