Interview: The Emotive Power of Varang Nord – Talking ‘Mygla’ with Nikita Kobcevs (Percussion)
Varang Nord is a Pagan Folk/Death Metal band from the shadowy forests of Latgale, Latvia. Since 2014, they have been forging a fierce and unmistakable sound by merging crushing riffs, growling vocals, and epic accordion melodies. Their songs celebrate ancient battles, forgotten rites, and wild northern feasts, carrying the spirit of old gods into the present day.
Their brand-new album, ‘Mygla’ was released in December 2025. Perfectly capturing how they have become one of the most distinctive voices in the northern pagan metal scene.
In this interview, we spoke to percussionist Nikita Kobcevs about the new album, the ups and downs of the creative journey, the desire to bring their live performance to everyone, and so much more.
