Skyforger - Zobena Dziesma - Sword Song - 2003 torrent

Skyforger is not a professional Folk group, and we are traditionally known for playing Folk/Pagan Metal. We started playing Folk music as amateur enthusiasts, only for ourselves. However, our friends and fans expressed a desire to hear more of these songs, and that led to the creation of this album.
Most of the songs you can hear on this recording are taken from the repertoire of well known local Folk groups. Others are reworked versions of material from our previous albums. Our passion is to play olden songs of the war and mythology of our forefathers. In that respect, this album is no different from those we have recorded in the past. It is our tribute to ancient Latvian history, culture and folklore. Hails and thanx to our Lithuanian friends and bloodbrothers, "O Kai Saulute Tekejo" is dedicated to You and all mighty Lithuanian warriors! This record has been released with the support of the CULTURE CAPITAL FOUNDATION OF LATVIA.
