PAGANLAND - Defending Freedom Of Ukraine On Battlefield And With New Single

Ukraine's pagan/black metal band Paganland released a new single "Under The Black And Red Banner Of War". The single was recorded by Paganland in 2021-2022 during Russo-Ukrainian war. Band founder and keyboardist Andrii Shalai is defending the freedom and independence of Ukraine since February 2022 as a trooper of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, 80th Separate Air Assault Brigade. "Under The Black And Red Banner Of War" is available for listening below.

Paganland started in 1997 in Lviv as a studio project by two musicians: Bilozor and Ruen (Andrii Shalai). Two years later they recorded their first demo Gods Of Golden Circle and completed the band's line-up with session musicians. In 2003 the second demo Shadows Of Forgotten Ancestors was recorded (without Ruen, he wasn't in Ukraine at that time). This demo was released in 2008 by the Ukrainian label Black Art Prods as a split with Tini Zabutyh Predkiv. Ruen comes back to Ukraine in 2009 and starts to work with the new line-up on the first album. This album, called Wind Of Freedom was recorded in 2011 and released in 2013 via Svarga Music. In 2013 Paganland started to work on their second album Fatherland, which was released two years later via the same label. In 2015 band passed through some line-up changes and start to work on their third album From Carpathian Land, which was released in 2016 via Svarga Music and in 2018 via Japanese label Hidden Marly Prods. The band has also recorded a two-track EP Belted By Spirit that was available on the band's official Bandcamp. Also in 2017 Paganland played their XX anniversary show. Later it was recorded and released as live album by Azermedoth prods. In 2020 band released their fourth full-length album called Galizier - dedicated to Galicia, history of this land and the fights for freedom. Link
