This is the most important activity of a person known as Belzagor. He also plays in other underground bands - Lugburz and Swarost, and has also some other projects - like Belzagor or Moonrise (with Tanatos of Lugburz).

Under the name Slavland he plays slavonic pagan metal with some folk parts. In the year of 2001 he created two demos: `Kiedy krzyż w słowiańska ziemie wbito...` and `Oddech Swiętego Gaju`; but because he wasn't satisfied with them, they weren't distributed at all.

In the year 2002 he recorded the first full-length called `Piesń Gromu` which is much better than his previous works. This album is now being released on tape by Nawia Productions. In the same year Belzagor created another full-length album `Gęstwiny Dróg Zapomnienia` which is a little rougher. This album will never be released because it doesn't satisfy Belzagor fully. And now I have here the third work of Slavland - it's called `Zapomniane Kurhany` and it's the most mature music of Slavland. There are some plans to release it on CD (Nawia?), but not earlier than in the year 2004. Musicaly speaking Slavland plays very fast and harsh pagan metal with some folk parts (some of them are real folk instruments!).

Piesn Bojana
Slavland Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Głód powietrze ogień woda
I wszelaka zła przygoda
Będą temu kto by starą
Ojców swoich wzgardził wiarą

Zwierz drapieżny do obory
Między stada czarne mory
Wejdą temu kto by starą

Ojców swoich wzgardził wiarą

Chorobą się rozniemoże
I boleści twarde łoże
Zwiąże tego kto by starą
Ojców swoich wzgardził wiarą

A gdy skona garści ziemi
Gdzie by spoczął kośćmi swemi
Nie dostanie kto by starą
Ojców swoich wzgardził wiarą

Marnie zginie Wiatr rozmiecie
Prochy jego po wszym świecie

Marnie zginie kto by starą
Ojców swoich wzgardził wiarą
