  Fornost Horde
The German Black/Pagan Metal band Fornost strikes back after a long time with the debut album "Der Wind hat mit ein Lied erzählt", which was released in the end of 2003 through the German label Nebelfee Klangwerke as compact disc/digipak.
Fornost knows to create a nice and nature oriented atmosphere with their songs, which really attracts me. The lyrics here are performed by raw and harsh sounding voices but with a melodical flair.
Fornost has released here an great Black/Pagan Metal and I think this album is a must have for all who are interested in German Black/Pagan Metal art.
