Arkonas debut album, <i>Vozrozhdenie</i>, was originally released in 2004 and firmly placed both the band and its Russian mother country on the pagan / folk metal map. Front woman Masha
s powerful performance plus Slavic mysticism and varied songwriting turned the first release (its name means “revival,” by the way) of young Arkona into a success and the beginning of a remarkable career. The band has now re-recorded Vozrozhdenie and not only revisits its roots – it lets those old songs shine with a massive production and new instrumental skills.
