#335: Previewing the debut album from the band Pillaging Villagers!

<p>Merging the punk-influenced aggressiveness of crossover thrash with the Celtic melodies of folk metal, the 'peasant metal’ of <strong>Pillaging Villagers</strong> takes the listener on a journey to a medieval world of pitchfork-wielding rebellion where songs of victory and sorrow alike are belted out with tankards raised high.<br> <br> Whether described as "punk Ensiferum" or "thrash Dropkick Murphys," <strong>Pillaging Villagers</strong> is a raucous, high-energy debut that rampages into the town square from its opening bars, burning and looting without respite throughout its tight 39-minute runtime.<br> <br> A concept album composed entirely by vocalist David Frazer, <strong>Pillaging Villagers</strong> features the session contributions of drummer Jason Hirt (Ghost Bath), guitarist Brian Koenig (Lords of the Trident) and bassist Adam Tucker (A Scanner Darkly).</p> <p><u>Pre-order</u>:<a href="https://pillagingvillagers.bandcamp.com/album/pillaging-villagers"><strong>https://pillagingvillagers.bandcamp.com/album/pillaging-villagers</strong></a><br> <br> <u>Track Listing</u>:<br> <br> 1.
