Pagan Reign - Ancient Warriors


The year was 1995. Orey, being influenced by metal and inspired by Russian Paganism, began composing his own original lyrics and musical arrangements. And so, Pagan Reign was born.Orey created all the riffs and melodies by himself and later included them in the first album.For a long time he searched not only for talented musicians, but for musicians that held the same views as himself.In 1998, after a long search, along came Sloven, Pagan Reigns new drummer.In 1999, guitarist, Vetrodar, had joined the band. Together, the three devoted themselves to the composing of new songs and arrangement of new material.Their energy and potential quickly captured the attention of bassist Koldum, who soon joined the band.Then, despite unfavorable circumstances, the band began work on their first demo.The demo, titled "The Dawn", was recorded during a repetition session and consisted of five tracks.After the recording was completed, Pagan Reign performed their first concert. Not only was their music stylistically unique, but their appearance also made people take notice.The musicians wore traditional Slavic clothes which made them stand out amongst other bands. Pagan Reign had taken part in all of the shows that were held in the clubs of Tver. By the end of 1999, they had finished recording their first full-length demo album, which was called "Ancient Warriors." Because it was recorded at their home studio, the production left much to be desired, thus the demo wasn't distributed amongst magazines and record labels. (LastFm)
