Second album from Polish post death metal act Pandrador, ispired and spiritualised by the heritage of Scandinavian culture.
“Seiðr” is a story of pride, betrayal and downfall told over the course of the album. Pandrador is not only inspired by monumental works of Scandinavian culture, but also enters into an active, open dialogue with them. They also refer to revenge tragedies, legends and chronicles written down by Saxo Grammaticus, Elizabethan dramas or the concept of theater of cruelty. However, despite an almost academic approach to the subject matter covered, a fair amount of hermeticism, abundant allegories and spinning the tale as much by outlining the plot as by archetypal references, “Seiðr” is as far from a dry, scholarly treatise as possible. The bond of the story are human emotions, and at its heart – reflection – as personal as it is very universal.
“Seiðr” is a contemporary heroic poem, and its protagonist is every listener. It is a commentary on what was, is and (perhaps) will be.
