The Pagan Winter

The Pagan Winter is the first studio recording by Hungarian symphonic black metal band Sear Bliss. In that time founder/bass player András Nagy was only 17 years old. Thanks to this demo Mascot Records from the Netherlands offered a three-album contract and signed the band.

Mascot Records re-released The Pagan Winter on CD in 1997 following the success of Sear Bliss' debut album Phantoms.
