Description
An intense Black Metal-influenced Folk Metal album, full of Heathen anthems to raise a horn to. The Heathen’s heart is full of chaos, creation through destruction, Hagalaz, and this is a journey into it.
Hexenklad is a Canadian Folk/Black Metal band. Think folk melodies akin to Moonsorrow with twin guitar leads like Dissection, the depth of emotion of Primordial and the overwhelming depth of Insomnium.
For fans of Moonsorrow, Amon Amarth, Ensiferum, Insomnium, Windir.
