Kurbads

The time has come for their fifth album – and Skyforger's masterpiece "Kumbads" fufils the desire! Pagan Metal at its best.

EMP Editorial Team:

Just very few of their genre peers do really "live" this music with their hearts and souls, so these passionate and persistent Latvians have more than deserved their new major label deal. They have been active in the Pagan Metal department since the mid-90s - with their awesome anthems, the gifted Skyforgers have always manned a fortress against trends and flavours of the month. Now, the time for their fifth album has come - and their masterpiece "Kumbads" exceeds all expectations! Everything's perfect: the technical versatility, the ideas, the wonderful folklore parts or the brilliant ability to conjur up that magic warrior atmosphere. "Kumbads" is an epitome of the quintet's arrangement prowess: they are almost unsurpassed when it comes to intertwining of powerful Metal attacks and playful folklore. (Markus Eck / 13.04.2010)
