|---|---|
The Pagan Winter is the first studio recording by Hungarian symphonic black metal band Sear Bliss. In that time founder/bass guitarist 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's debut album Phantoms.
