Gwydion

Gwydion's journey started in 1995, a project founded by a group of friends that shared the same passion for metal and interest in Celtic culture. During these first stages of the band, three demos were presented to the Portuguese metal scene and dozens of gigs were performed throughout Portugal.

In 2007, Gwydion prepared to record their first full-length album "Ynys Mön". Their originality and effort triggered the interest of the German label TROLLZORN, which offered a contract to release the album. With Ynys Mön, Gwydion finally started to draw some international attention and ultimately received an invitation to make an European tour in October 2008 with top bands TYR, HOLLENTHON, ALESTORM, and SVARTSOT: the RAGNAROK AASKEREIA'S TOUR.

During 2009, Gwydion played in nearly all major metal Portuguese metal festivals, delivering a distinct sound and attitude, and received continuously great feedback. At the end of the year, Gwydion finished the recordings and production of their second album "Horn Triskelion". "Horn Triskelion" truly represented fifteen years of accumulated experience and ideas. The readers of Portugal's biggest metal magazine LOUD magazine have chosen GWYDION to be the 2nd best band over 2010 + their album "Horn Triskelion" was considered the 3rd best album of 2010!

In 2013, Gwydion presented "VETERAN". Fans experienced a slightly different musical-style, as the music was much more epic and "metal" than folk compared to the previous release. Since the beginning of the band, they had a very influential epic component in their songs, so naturally when they created "VETERAN", they decided to have a strong mixture of heavy metal riffs and epic/folk songs. "VETERAN" is a story of a warrior since it's birth through his training, conquests and defeats with relevance to the History of Portugal. VETERAN was nominated by Metal Storm website for best Folk Metal album of 2013.

After a band hiatus Gwydion returned I n 2018 with a new Album “Thirteen” which was divided in two parts, one talks about known Viking personalities and the other part about the Viking invasion in Portugal! The name “Thirteen” is related to this last part!

Now the band completes 25 years of history and it was time to release a self-titled album to honor the god Gwydion and the band itself!

Eld Varg

Hailing from Scotland, Eld Varg have charged into battle with an arsenal of riff-laden heavy metal for the ages.

With songs of the old Norse gods, epic battles and triumph and glory, there is enough heavy, groovy and melodic metal to satisfy even the most metal of metal fans. Wielding this collection of songs, Eld Varg have solidified their position in the Scottish underground metal scene with high energy, heavy and engaging live shows, leaving audiences shaking the grounds of Valhalla with their now staple live closer 'Wolfpack'.

This new chapter for Eld Varg lies with their new album 'Destroyer'. This new release builds upon the foundation laid by One Man Army and continues the story. After countless battles, aspiration and victory, Destroyer deals with the aftermath, and moving through adversity, destroying the past and marching forwards with no clear path to follow. The songs are heavier, tighter and more anthem, making for a more cohesive and complete record that really shows Eld Varg are ready for greater heights.

Trowsholm

Hailing from the Shetland Islands, Trowsholm is the realisation of a musical vision inspired by the culture, history, music and folklore of the band's home. With a unique folk metal sound, the band's debut album (released December 2023) has garnered thousands of streams since release from all over the world. With lyrics inspired by battles, history and getting drunk complete with strong melodies and heavy rhythms to go with it, there is something for all metalhead here.
