Germany's Pagan Metal Titans have just unleashed their eagerly anticipated album, "Ewige Wacht" (Eternal Vigil), via Napalm Records.

To celebrate the album's release, VARG has also treated us to their latest single, "Eisenseite," accompanied by an impressive music video. This song, which has had fans on the edge of their seats, shines a spotlight on the band's growth, with lead singer Fylgja taking a more prominent role throughout the album.

It underscores the significance of standing up for what you believe in, even when the odds seem insurmountable.
