About the album

Pagan Altar's "Mythical & Magical" is a masterful journey through the realms of doom metal, echoing the mystical and magical themes that have been intrinsic to their sound since their inception. With this album, the band delves deep into folklore and mythology, weaving tales that are as haunting as they are enchanting. The ethereal yet heavy guitar riffs combined with Terry Jones's haunting vocals create an atmosphere steeped in mystery and tradition. Each track stands as a testament to the band's ability to craft epic narratives that sweep listeners into a world of ancient rituals and forgotten lore.
