Info:
The music of Symbel is an exploration of Anglo-Saxon England's philosophies through the use of dark metal, heroic anthems and ritualised shamanic music. This is Heathen music performed by Englishmen.

The name:
Symbel is drinking ritual common to both Theodish Belief and Asatru.
Perhaps no other rite in heathendom stands out as importantly or as uniquely as symbel. Symbel is the ritual drinking feast at which the participants try to place themselves into the flow of Wyrd through the binding of words and deeds. In other words, it is a means by which the deeds of now are linked to those of the past.
