"Takk og farvel - tida er blitt ei annen" ( Thank you and farewell - times have changed ), the upcoming  MYRKGRAV  EP became a full length to expect by late autumn 2016.

This is their announcement of the day : Heidra part ways with long-time keyboard player, Danny Svendsen. For 8-9 years Danny has been a part of this band. He has helped shape it into what it is today with his talent as a keyboard player and songwriter. Unfortunately, that sometimes isn't enough to maintain a good working relationship. Our views on the direction of the band and how to run it were simply irreconcilable. It is with no small amount of regret that we have to take this step. We wish Danny all the best in his future musical endeavors and thank him for all the hard work he has put into making this band what it is today. For now, there will be no replacement. This will have no consequences as far as future concerts are concerned, nor will it delay our second album, which we are working hard on at the moment. Everything continues as planned. Their second album is planned for next year.

Today,  HEID  shared the following news : After these months in the gloom, we're finally starting to see the "Alba". Yes friends, "Alba" (Daybreak) will be the name of our first album, set to be available on 14th of November and it will have 10 tracks.

The band shared the following statement : "Hello everyone a quick message from yours truly , We have been getting MANY requests about " IF Ex Deo WILL RETURN TO THE LIVE STAGE " at the moments I must be sincere and I have to say that NO plans have been made for EX DEO to do any touring or plays shows for the next album , so rumors of us touring soon are untrue . We have done the album because there was demand for it and because we missed it and wanted the challenge ourselves to see if we can top the "Romulus" and " Caligvla" albums , to be honest EX DEO is a tough project live and demands a lot time ( which we dont have much to spare ) , However we are currently exploring some options for 2017 but we are not certain if we will do them , most likely not, for those who want to see the band live then you will need to make your voices heard to the people who matter and spread the word , so the other guys in the band are willing to put back their a...

MYRKGRAV  shared the following words to their fans : "Almost a year has passed since the last Myrkgrav update, so I hope some of you are still following this page. Why, you say? Well, because I have some big small news: 2016 marks the 10 year anniversary since the release of "Trollskau, Skrømt og Kølabrenning". There was supposed to be a follow-up full-length called "Forteljinger frå Finnefjerdingen", but due to huge changes in life-related circumstances, the album will never happen.  My sincerest apologies. HOWEVER, all of the material for the album minus the vocals have already been recorded and mixed years ago. As I am at this point confident in the fact that I will never muster the drive and energy to finish the vocal arrangements for the album, I am prepared to "release" all the material to the public - the instrumentals for the songs that were supposed to make up the album. They will be put up on Bandcamp and all digital streami...

Ragnfalt shared with me, his feelings regarding his band  SURTURS LOHE that is celebrating the 20th Anniversary.  Also, he shared some words about “Seelenheim” album that is coming soon. 01. Hi Ragnfalt! Twenty years ago was founded SURTURS LOHE… There was some line-up change but three years after band creation was released the first demo and then, two splits were, and a 4th album is coming soon… How much did you enjoy this adventure until now ? Twenty years of SURTURS LOHE is a real adventure. If I think back in the nineties, it feels like a travel trough the time. Still...there are many thinks happen. The scene has changed a lot. When we started 20 years ago to make music, the bands with pagan background were complete different. First, there was much less Pagan Metal bands in Germany. There were in Thuringia maybe eight bands, three of them in South Thuringia (MENHIR, TUMULUS and SURTURS LOHE).

I interviewed Stephan Gauger from FIMBULVET regarding their upcoming double release "Heidenherz" for the main. 01. Hi Stephan! First of all, what means the band name and this band FIMBULVET to you ? Hi Krissy! FIMBULVET is in the pagan mythology the giant or eternal winter, consisting of three consecutive severe winters. That means it is one of the signs for the Ragnarök Götterdämmerung. I founded the band in 2003 and it means for me today after 13 years, almost everything. It is my child, I will always cherish, along with my colleagues.
