Birdflesh

Birdflesh started in October 1992 as a four piece band. One of the guitarplayers had to leave the band because it sounded like shit with two guitars. First demo was recorded in 1994 and the second was out in 1995. Did some shows in the hometown, rehearsed some, drank some beer and recorded the third demo, "Fishfucked", in 1997. The following years were pretty much the same. Did some shows, released some records and drank many beers. In September 1999 Birdflesh went on a Japan tour.

Cnocantursa

Cnoc An Tursa (Hill of Sorrow) are a Scottish metal Band (previously known as Carpathian Breed) forged in 2006 in Falkirk, an ancient Borough whose Motto is: ‘Better Meddle wi the Deil than the Bairns O’ Falkirk’. Intense, symphonic ballads, with music heavily inspired by the early 90s’ 2nd wave of Black Metal which, combined with the tales of a much neglected art form, old Scottish poems, creates a totally unrivaled sound of heavy black metal rock, with ravenous, melodic undertones, and ancient, rhythmical lyrics.

Cernunnos

There are two bands (at least) called "Cernunnos": 1. The word Cernunnos! refers to "the Horned God", "the Horned One," or even "the Stag King." When this musical idea was conceived in 1996, this definition may have been enough. And why not? This name seems appropriate enough for folk metal music with a dark side, as the earliest recordings attest. As the years passed, and the music and ideas in Cernunnos! changed, this word came to mean other things.
