Album from Polish pagan black metal project Moonrise, hailing from the Silesian region of Dąbrowa Górnicza/Sławków. "Majestat Leśnych Cieni" (Majesty of Forest Shadows) showcases the band's atmospheric approach to pagan black metal, drawing inspiration from ancient Slavic traditions and forest mysticism. Formed in 2003, Moonrise carved out their place in Poland's underground pagan metal scene before eventually splitting up. This Eastside CD release brings the project's work back to physical format, delivering raw black metal intensity combined with folkloric pagan elements characteristic of Polish extreme metal's rich heritage. The album explores themes of nature worship, ancestral spirits, and the majesty of forgotten woodland realms, creating an immersive sonic journey through the shadowy forests of Slavic mythology. A essential release for collectors of Polish pagan black metal and fans of atmospheric extreme metal rooted in regional folklore and tradition.
