Odroedir Das Erbe Unserer Ahnen CD

2017 release. Odroerir, hailing from Thuringia (Germany), belong to the spearhead of German folk and pagan metal. With their three long players the band has achieved the reputation of an authentic and thoughtful band, also being a convincing live act. Surprisingly this is not G?tterlieder III - it is a purely instrumental folk and acoustic album, which Fix has produced as a solo effort featuring numerous guest musicians. Odroerir not only toured with Eluveitie but shared the stage with Tyr, Black Messiah, Suidakra, XIV Dark Centuries, Gernotshagen, Fimbulvet and Finsterforst. Not to mention countless club shows and festival performances. From the onset Odroerir?s music was planned as a quieter variation of "so-called" pagan metal. The arrangements function without high speed attacks or double kick drumming, they rather contain many acoustic guitars and multi-facetted vocal passages. A major influence on band founder and composer Fix were Bathory?s viking albums. However, Odroerir go one big step further by employing several bowed, plucked or wind instruments known from folk music. In his lyrical work Fix covers an array of German and / or Celtic mythology, early and pre-history of pagan Europe - life, growth and death of our predecessors. He avoids the often politically or esoterically charged phrases of other genre bands and turns to new interpretations of ancient sagas and myths as well as poetic treatments of real historic incidents. This is how exciting musical history lessons can be!
