Festung Nebelburg - Unreleased

Next band is also coming from Germany. If you're into German pagan metal, you should Wolfchant from Bavaria (if not, don't bother, they're not that great). Festung Nebelburg is a one-man-project from their past bass player Nattulv. Under the flag of Nordfrost he released an album ("Stimmen der Vergangenheit") which I will upload too in some time. Later he changed the name of the band into Festung Nebelburg (something like Fortress of Fog in English). These two tracks are songs that were recorded for the debut album "Waldsagen" (Tales from the forest) but later dropped. The final album title has changed too into "Gabreta Hyle". This album is very good, if you do not know it and like pagan metal: Get it!! Soon! Now!!
The fact I like on Festung Nebelburg is, that they (or better "he", it's just one guy) combine a lot of different influences: pagan, black metal but also folky melodies and sometimes things are getting real cool when there's some Rock coming into. I also think to hear some punk out of it. So this stuff is very individual and very great.
Those tracks you see here are not as good as the album (now, guess why they weren't used there^^) but nevertheless really enjoyable and good! I like the very audible bass lines and also the clean vocals, but you have to get used to them because they sound a bit funny. Lyrics deal most of the time with tales and stories from the Bavarian Forest (a region in Germany where Nattulv lives) and some pagan issues but always free from cliches.
There is also no artwork or something, so - again - I used the band logo that you guys have something to look at...
