Is Pagan Metal refuge or revivalism?

After a weekend at a Pagan Metal metal festival, and all the adjacent forms of music, medieval music, new folk, and all the newer bands in the Heilung/Wardruna vein I ask the simple question, is this revivalism and a genuine rejection of the modern world or a form of refuge, escape from the ills of modernity? or perhaps it's neither....or both? it's a question that actually needs a more in depth cultural, esoteric and political analysis, let's put a pin in that one! and also some under rated Pagan Metal albums to finish the discussion. 'THE FREE SPEECH PRINCIPLE' will be at Kniven bar in Oslo on Saturday April 4th together with Shayan from Iblis Manifestations and Trivax no charge, so get down there.... follow me nemtheanga_primordial on the gram support the show over at : Primordial on Spotify YES THERE'S A NEW Primordial LIVE ALBUM OUT !! sponsored by Metal Blade records promo code AA 2024 for 10% off your order ships worldwide For info on my work as a booking agent go to: or email alan@dragon-productions.com Primordial cds/lps available from death metal VERMINOUS SERPENT doom DREAD SOVEREIGN goth APRILMEN Support this show .
