From Czechia, Panychida is a pagan metal band founded in 2004; although the band has been relatively prolific, it has never made a real breakthrough. Their latest album Haeretica - The Night Battles was supported by an intense promotional campaign and positively received by critics. It is essentially melodic pagan metal with some epic moments; the album is perhaps a bit mannerist but it is essentially a good album. I would not say I was impressed, but it is technically well executed and well recorded. Listen to it!
Notes:
Haeretica - The Night Battles was released on May 30, 2016 as CD and cassette, and as 12” vinyl on May 17, 2017 through Nasphyr Records. After this album the band has also released a single.
Personnel:
Talič: Bass
Honza V.: Guitars, Vocals (clean, backing)
