Daemonia Nymphe

Daemonia Nymphe (Δαιμόνια Νύμφη) is a greek folk band established in Athens in 1994 by Spyros Giasafaki and Evi Stergiou. The band's music is modeled after ancient greek music and is often categorized as ethereal, neoclassical, neofolk or gothic.
Daemonia Nymphe uses authentic instruments, including lyra, varvitos, krotala, pandoura and double flute, which are made by the Greek master Nicholas Brass. Their shows are very theatrical, with members wearing masks and ancient dress. Their lyrics are drawn from Orphic and Omeric hymns and Sappho's poems for Zeus and Hekate.

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.
