Paganblut is a side-project of Isar, known as the bass and guitar player of Funeral Forest . Over a playing time of almost 30 minutes you get performed raw but melodic Pagan/Black Metal.

After a rather short Intro the second song starts fast and catching. The simple played guitar has a slight metallic sound and the strongly distorted vocals sound exceedingly violent. There are certainly rhythmic variations, but however the drumming remains altogether simple. More interesting and addressing are those vocal and melodic performances.
The third track rhythmically slow and stomping, the vocals are still distorted and less extreme, but for that more distinct. An overall melodic and calm played guitar is joining this slow rhythm. It's very interesting to listen to and also surprising, how perfect this melodic and harmless instrumental realization is harmonizing with the vehement singing.
The next song, an instrumental, is very melodic. If I am not deceived, this is a re-composition of an elder march song. Hereupon follows the longest song, a rough and barbarian track, wherein those extreme kinds of singing alternate. As well rhythmically as melodically there are manifold changes. The remaining songs are similarly constituted, whereof the last two songs are bonus material. One is the already mentioned march song, but this time with vocals - what is pleasing me more, because I find it is succeeding how Paganblut is combining those old marching melodies with these aggressive and marrow-penetrating vocals.

Ruf aus der Vergangenheit is thoroughly extreme Metal that knows to please despite the simply played drumming. Paganblut succeeded assembling the extremely rough and aggressive elements with solid and harmonic parts and to create an extremely atmospheric but radical music.
