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.

This is the first video of the band for the song "The Great Dance of Dionysus" taken from their album 2013 entitled "Grief for an Idol" that you can purchase here .
