One such man that has remembered the ways of his ancestors is Rudolf Kalousdian a veteran to the metal scene has decided to heed the call of his ancestors and create a one man Armenian Pagan Metal band by the name of Vahagn, the national God of Armenia, the god of the Sun and Vishabakagh, "dragon reaper". Vahagn is not one of these Folk Metal bands that have jovial up-tempo beats instead use the sombre and heartfelt folk melodies that would echo throughout the Armenian Highlands for centuries. Vahagn uses authentic folk instruments such as the Armenian wood wind instrument the Duduk, Bagpipes, Shvi, Pku, and Zurna to create the folkish melodies.
