Morgawr

Formed in late 2007 by Alexander Wyld and Sebb Garner, their aim: to create original sounding 'pagan' metal. Under the name of Aesir, the band played gigs throughout England and Cornwall, and even recorded a bathory cover for a belgium bathory tribute CD. But after several necessary lineup changes, a new musical direction was sought, and so the band decided to make a fresh start; Morgawr was born. The Cornish word for sea serpent; Morgawr The new aim; to delve deep into Cornish and Celtic mythology and to fuse it with black, folk, power and progressive metal.

Månegarm

It all started in Norrtälje, Sweden, 1995. Three old friends began to talk about starting a band. They had all played or growled in different constellations before. The main direction with this project, was to play as fast and primitive metal as possible, and the lyrics had to be in Swedish. No question about that. To get the massive and raw sound they wanted, they only had to find a second guitarist and of course a drummer.

Dordeduh

About Dordeduh To start understanding the essence of the band is to first delineate the two Romanian words that its name is composed of: “dor” and “duh”. Having a deep, unique meaning in Romanian, “dor” is thought to be untranslatable in any other language using only one word, its sense being of “longing/yearning for something”, “missing something”. It can be something palpable, well-known and familiar (a place, a person, a taste) but it can also be a nostalgic feeling brought up by something vaguely known, dwelling in an old chamber of one’s soul.
