German Pagan folk duo Mars has created its very own and unique sound that lies somewhere between apocalyptic folk and darkest Americana.
The album The Seeker is about the spiritual quest of the seekers of true knowledge.
This cycle of 12 songs sheds light on different aspects of the pagan world, ranging from the ritualistic via the mythic towards the existentialistic.
With their powerful acoustic approach Oliver Freund and Marcus Stiglegger create chants of hope and despair facing an increasingly profane world.
For The Seeker – which was four years in the making – the two musicians recorded guitars, percussions, violin, and voices at the legendary Rama-studio at Mannheim.
From martial to classical apocalyptic Folk.
