A quite recent Czech band with two members from the BM band Moravská Zima.
Žrec mix in a very good way traditional slav folk music with the metal music in a way that remember the old mighty Skyclad, whit vocals in the BM style and clean epic one.
Very interesting is the use of acoustic instruments, that gives the album a more archaic and mystic sound, keeping high the metal flag.
Eight tracks six from the band, one a remake of the traditional song 'Lystoczku Czerwenyj' and a cover 'Nebeské Stríbro Perunovo' from the ukrainian gods Nocturnal Mortum.
Thie album is in the slav folk metal way but with personality, no nazionalistic stuff, as for the band from the slavonic pagan front; anyway the album is fresh, folk pagan, quite dancing.
A mix beetween past and present, easily and honestly for whom who have a great heathen feeling for whom who like folk music and it's contaminations with the metal world.
A great album evocative and well played!
