Darkest Era

DARKEST ERA are a Celtic Metal band from Northern Ireland. They formed in 2005 under the name NEMESIS. Originally combining NWOBHM-style Metal with Traditional Irish Folk Music, 2006's self-titled demo was very well received in the underground, winning the band many fans right across Europe and beyond. In 2007 the band changed their name to DARKEST ERA, and with this a darker and more unique sound was found.

Jargon

Tim Gates – Guitar, Vocals
Trevor Montgomery – Bass
Rich Douthit – Percussion
Jason Cauge – Guitar JARGON started out as a more or less noise ridden, live hard rock band, better known as, for some reason, alternative, which they don’t think that they really are, but at the time everything not usual was called alternative. In 1998 JARGON released their self-titled debut, “Jargon” (produced by Robinson Eikenberry) on Lobster Records. It wasn’t punk, it wasn’t hard-core or goth but it was moody and it rocked. JARGON, of course, thought their record was mainstream.
