Despite the lyrical content, "Pagan Metal" doesn't fit as a genre descriptor. I reckon "Pagan Metal" requires an integration of elaborate folksy instrumentation with Metal riffs, which this band lacks almost entirely. The Metal albums are Metal, and the Folk albums are Folk.

Their first three albums were RAC entirely, so if nothing else, the genre field should be updated to reflect that.

The only folk and rock together can be heard on their RAC albums and "...І мертвим, і живим, і ненародженим (...To fallen, alive and unborn...)". "To Fallen..." is almost entirely Folk with only occasional segments of Metal.

"Слово" is a Folk album, full stop.

"For All We Have and Are" marks the beginning of their turn towards Heavy Metal much like their Czech contemporaries Excalibur. That album features epic Heavy Metal with sporadic synthy crescendoes. "XV" would continue those themes with keyboards instead of synths

"Invictus" and the last two albums are almost borderline mallcore-esque Groove Metal with all those phat chugz going on. Some Hardcore/Metalcore going on, too. There's still enough Metal going on to merit inclusion, but Pagan Metal, it ain't. Not even remotely.
