Nastrandir - When I'll Die | Call-Out

Cover (front)

Nastrandir

From: Germany
Discography: “Zwischen Horizonten” (2007) “Prayer to Earth” (2009)
 
Formed in 2006 Nastrandir is a six-piece, pagan-metal band currently signed to Twilight Vetrleb.  Nastrandir’s lyrics typically revolve around Norse-mythology and Viking-lore. Nastrandir is:
 
Grimnir- vocals/bass/guitars
Jjoelnir- guitar
Nordavind- guitar
Vidir- keyboards
Grummbuts- bass
Ragnar- drums/violin
 
Raise your heathen fist to the sky, Nastrandir is a pulsing, lo-fi Viking good time. Their use of choir backtracks and violin melodies to accent their blend of epic folk metal is in the same vein as Seawolves, yet original and all their own. 2009’s ‘Prayer To Earth’ saw the band heading in a new direction experimenting more with elements of progressive metal and spiritual themes lyrically. Impressively mature for such a young band, ‘Prayer’ is their best album for me and the first 1000 pressings come as a limited digipack with a Bathory (!) cover bonus track. Nastrandir has good things in their future.

I gave this a try. After listening to the song it's true, they really are from Germany. The lack of quality nation (except Suidakra and Disillusion)
