Ardent Nova – Ardent Nova CD

(Description from Wise Blood) Jewel Case with professionally replicated CDs and a full-color 6 panel insert. Wise Blood presents the self-titled debut album from melodic death thrashers ARDENT NOVA. This project from Mike Pardi (Empty Throne, ex-Draconis) is a gauntlet of rousing riffs that will beckon fans of Nite, Amon Amarth, Majesties, and Bathory’s viking era to battle. Originally formed as Pagan Thunder 22 years ago, a dream inspired Pardi to change his project’s name to Ardent Nova. The result is a thrilling hybrid of black thrash, traditional metal, melodeath, and Valhallan violence. It’s a rampage through the middle ages that balances menace with melody and majesty.
