The four-piece band Pagan from Melbourne, Australia, consists of Nikki Brumen (vocals), Xavier Santilli (guitar), Dan Bonnici (bass) and Matt Marasco (drums). The young, promising band presents their debut album "Black Walsh" on the English label Hassle Records (Casey, Brutus, August Burns Red, etc). They have long since become a cult attraction in their home country and are famous for their wild, ritual performances and the powerful, rock'n'roll hardcore sound. They have played at renowned festivals such as UNIFY, Yours & Owls or BIGSOUND as well as national tours with Rise Against or sweaty club shows with King Parrot and clowns. The album was recorded with producer and friend Mike Deslandes (High Tension / Harmony / The Nation Blue) and impresses with unrestrained power and finesse. "With unrestrained power and finesse, Pagan's occultly staged Blackened Rock'n'Roll attacks pop into hardcore. Fans of The Bronx and Brutus: Congratulations on your new favourite band!
