Pagan/Black Metal

Repress. XIV Dark Centuries release their new album Waldvolk on 28.02.2020. This musical work, which is connected to the deep forests of the Thuringian Forest, contains 7 new as well as three already known songs of the band in a new sound. XIV Dark Centuries, one of the first Pagan Metal bands in Germany, has remained true to itself and its fans even after more than 20 years with their style. Melodic guitars, powerful drums, an unmistakable voice and sophisticated arrangements are in the center of attention. Musically, XIV Dark Centuries deliver melodic, guitar-heavy Pagan Metal. The broad, also very melodic backgrounds are mostly played by a keyboard. A bit more often than in the past, violin and acoustic guitar also fit into the sound, but the keyboard still sets the tone for the accompanying instruments. Vocally, XIV Dark Centuries rely on their already known branch of growl and (preferably polyphonic) clear vocals. Also well known is their wide musical range, which roughly speaking ranges from metal ballads (Julenzeit, Firratan) to very fast, swinging pieces like Skogafulka.
