Paladran/Nodfyr/2006 Demo Review


  Paladran  are  a  band  from  the  Chezch  Republic  that  plays  folk  metal  and  this  is  a  review  of  their self  released  2006  demo  "Nodfyr".

  Drums  range  from  slow to  mid  paced  playing  with  no  fast  drumming  or  blast  beats  being  present  on  this  recording,  while  the  folk  instruments  bring  a  very  dark  and  medieval  folk  music  sound  to  the  recording,  as  for  the  bass  playing  it  has  a  very  strong  and  powerful  sound  with  heavy  riffing  that  dominates  throughout  the  recording.

  Rhythm  guitars  range  from  slow  to  mid  paced  folk  metal  riffs  that  utilize  a  great  amount of  melody  in  the  riffing,  while  the  lead  guitars  are  very  melodic  sounding  folk  metal  guitar  solos  and  leads,  as  for  the  acoustic  guitars  they  use  finger  picking  and  full  chords  to  add  more  atmosphere  to the  recording.

  Vocals  are  mostly  clean singing  folk  metal  vocals  with  a  brief  use  of  high  pitched  black  metal  screams,  while  the  lyrics  are  written  in  their  native  tongue  and  cover  Paganism  themes,  as  for  the  production  it  has  a  very  strong,  powerful,  heavy  and  professional  sound  for  being  a  self  released  recording  and  you  can  hear  all  of  the  musical  instruments  that  are  present  on this  recording  with  some  of  the  songs  being  long  and  epic  in  length.

  In  my  opinion  Paladran  are  a  very  great  sounding  folk  metal  band  and  if  you  are  a  fan   this  musical  genre,  you  should  check  out  this  demo.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Rustem"  and  "Purhan".  RECOMMENDED  BUY.
