Nordreich-Heil'ger Brand (2004)

Debut full-length from Nordreich. If you've checked out the previous album of theirs I have posted, you know this is high-quality material. Yes, it is very rawly produced- however, don't let that deter you from an absolutely rewarding and wonderful listen. This is very atmosphere-driven, epic pagan black metal, and certainly one of my favorite black metal bands of the last couple years. Epic, synth-laden songs, melodies that are very memorable, and an unforgettable atmosphere make this album a must for pagan black metal fans. HIGHLY recommended, especially for fans of Moonblood, Graveland, Bilskirnir, and even Summoning. Flammentod Produktionen.
