Marc "Azrael" Hoyland is a British musician. Beginning as a member of the goth/goth metal band 13 Candles and then into bands such as Heathen Deity, Ethereal Forest to ambient projects Hoyland, Plaguewielder, ect.
The track "Across the Pagan Labyrinth" was written and recorded on an old Tascam 4track portastudio tapeplayer in the latter months of 2002. During this period Heathen Deity was very much active and Ethereal Forest was starting to form. This track wasn't used for any band or projects.
"The only thing I really remember about this recording was at the time I was doing the vocals I had a nasty cold and chest infection, hence the strangeness to the timbre of the vocals..." ~ Azrael
