Runic

About

Runic was born in Castellón (Spain). Some people have defined the style of the band as melodic and epic Death Metal; others as Viking Metal, and the rest say that Runic plays Pagan Metal... It really doesn't matter, because Runic considers its sound as a mixture of these three varieties: The band has a strong admiration for the Vikings, they think that Paganism is a need of freedom in a Christian society, and finally, their influences come from melodic Death Metal (between others...). What the band actually tries to get is the spirit that all these varieties of metal reflect... Through the ages many different sounds have represented the warrior spirit; from traditional songs to soundtrack movies, from folk to Metal... All these kinds of music influences Runic and the reflection of this feeling is what the band is really attracted to... The band started to rehearse in the middle of 2001. The band's first recording was "Awaiting the Sound of the Unavoidable". In Mid 2005 the band started recording for their follow up album "Liar Flags" which was released March 24, 2006.
