The fourth album by PANYCHIDA available for pre-orders

May 30th will be released the new album by PANYCHIDA. The full length is entitled "Haereticalia - The Night Battles" and deals with the Benandanti cult of northern Italy, inspired by the historian Carlo Ginzburg. The old legends of witches fighting for the crop and the good of thelocal community´s got its links also to other medieval and modern legends like those of the widespread “Wild Hunt” and “Perchtenlaufen” or those of the werewolves of Estonia. The musical attitude to the album is a bit different than to the previous one because it is coming up with some unexpected orchestral parts as well as with untypical compositions for the band so far.

If the band was once called a pagan metal then the musical and thematic shift is evident in every angle. Today the band draws inspiration from different metal genres with still focusing on melodic background. Let´s call this blackened heavy metal, says the press kit for the record.
