Watch the full album stream video here: https:// The album is now also available via all major digital platforms: https:// The CD version of the album can be ordered via the Pagan Records webstore in digibook and jewelcase formats: https:// The band said: "Seiðr" is a commentary on the "conventionality" of our surroundings; a look at the human desire to oppose one extreme in order to fall into the next one in emotion; the desire to be someone important because we are driven by satisfaction and conventional values, and often conventional complexes. In the midst of all this, there is also the deluding of ourselves with apparent benefits and rationalising quietly how pathetic we actually are in our actions.” "Seiðr" is the band’s second full-length album and is both a continuation of the well-received debut "Ov Rituals, Ov Ancestors, Ov Destiny" (self-released) and the opening of a completely new chapter. "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 theatre of cruelty. However, despite an almost academic approach to the subject matter covered, a fair amount of hermeticism, abundant allegories and archetypal references in the plot, "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. Pandrador is a four-piece death metal band formed in 2015. The group established their presence in the scene with the demo "Śmierć Baldura" in 2017. With each of their releases, they decided to present a different style but bound with a common extreme metal foundation. The combination of these styles is also present in the band’s lyrical themes, which use Scandinavian cultural heritage as a carrier of the stories told - both from the present and the past. The band has previously released a music video to the track “Hvergelmir”, a guitar playthrough video to the track “Valediction of Exalted One”, and a lyric video to the track “Nithstang of Sleipnir”.
