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.
