What do you get when a young talented pagan folk band meets up with an epic orchestral music producer? The answer is the project Runecraft.
In this project, two talented young pagan folk musicians, working under the name STFUR, combine their talents with Finnish epic music producer Antti Martikainen, and the result is the album Alatyr, a beautiful pagan folk ode to the Slavic mythological world. One that we highly recommend.
Read all about this wonderful album and the backgrounds behind it in the extended review Cliff wrote about Alatyr here in our review section.
