Pagan Metal Kings SKYFORGER have revealed the tracklisting and album cover for their new album Kurbads!
SKYFORGER recorded Kurbads at Latvian studio Lauska in 2009 together with the bands own bagpipe player Kaspars Barbals handling engineering duties. The band members also produced the album themselves to make sure the recording sounds authentic and to 100% like SKYFORGER.
Kurbads offers the typical SKYFORGER fusion of various metal styles, like old school Thrash and Heavy Metal as well as Latvian Folk music, all rounded up with the trademark SKYFORGER sound!
The whole artwork was created by SKYFORGER's guitarist Martins and is connected to the story of Kurbads. More information regarding the concept of Kurbads will be revealed shortly.
