This band has made a new fierce fan, me. And this on a festival with so many other music styles and a much diverse audience. But people flocked to pagan, who began playing at 0.30am and played two hours straight until 2.30am! Holy smokes.
Yes yes.. pagan are not black metal. But as you can see in my blog I also include some aspects of black metal, that can be considered roots, influences, or generally having the black metal spirit.
Last night I witnessed pagan at parko tritsi. They are liked by Sakis tolis. Pictures on their Facebook page promised much and boy, did they deliver.
Their singer is like a nymph, a muse, a witch!! She dances, she acts, she screams eerily, she sings most beautifully.. it was something to behold!!
Everyone was entranced. They claim to be awakening Dionysos and I can tell you they surely woke him and much more!! They embody the pagan spirit, which is so essential for black metal, too. They make you sing, dance, sway and feel connected to earth, nature, your ancestors!! Things that are being suppressed in today's society.
