ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Bran Barr is the mighty raven who brings the soul of the dying to the other world, it's a name in the old Gallic language
The band was inactive for a while, but reformed in 2005
The band is heavily influenced by Tuatha Na Gael era Cruachan
Lyrics also deal with fantasy inspired by Celtic myth and Gallic history. Les Chroniques De Naerg was inspired by the Gallic war against Cesar and the myth of Cuchulain. The story of the second alb*m takes place before the one of the first, but the two are linked. It's about a war in the Sidh, the underworld where mythological people still live. This war is parallel with the one in the human world. It's the same fight between Kran, the God of entropy and the old Celtic Gods.The destiny of the two worlds will meet in the third part

Was going to ask, i what way they improved,but i had chance to hear a track from: SIDH earlier. Rebirth i think its called. Pretty fantastic, along with one named Metal Gauls? Dont want to make comparisons to Ensiferum, but there is a similar feeling at times, same use of classical melody combined with heavier and faster pace *
