SEAR BLISS - The Pagan Winter CD

Limited to 500 copies in super jewel case format.

Over the decades, Sear Bliss has proven to be an original, unique atmospheric black metal band, coming from Hungary, behind the misty Carpathian mountains. If you would listen through their records, you wouldn't find two records which would be the same under different title. Somehow, they managed to develop their art, record to record discovering and conquering new musical territories.

For now the band has already passed its 30th birthday, but the brilliance of their early material still bright and shining. In my view, the first two records, "Phantoms" and "The Haunting" are still their best efforts. But before these records, there was "The Pagan Winter" demo. Coming from Hungary, I have to say that this demo sounds great compared to contemporary Hungarian demo releases.  I reckon it as a raw, path-searching first effort, not without flaws, but certainly containing great potential and unique talent. First of all, the blend-marks of Sear Bliss' art is already here: 1) brasses / trumpets; 2) well-written, recognizable songs; 3) unique, melodic atmosphere.
