Xerión - Ulfxurz (2014)

 

Xerión was born at the beginning of the year 2000 as a singing solo project, Nocturno, which began working on the first melodies and lyrics. The name of the band comes from the Celtic mythology of Galicia.

Thus, in May and June of the same year and in the solitude of his small recording studio (Estudios Breogán) gave shape to the first five topics that would be part of the first work, O Espírito da Fraga. This demo was self-published under the seal that Nighttime has with his companion Daga, Nigra Mors, like almost all the works of the band.

In 2002, two more works were recorded, O trono de Breogán and A harpa do Guerreiro, edited and distributed by French labels, Taran Productions and Gorification Musix respectively. The first shared with national bands, Foscor primer and Cryfemal followed, as well as re-releases of the latest demos through Nigra Mors and Wolf Records, who get the name of Xerión to be known beyond Galicia.

In August of 2002 Daga began to be part of the project touching the keyboard, and at the end of New Year began to look for other members to be able to offer the first concerts of Xerión. After some comings and turns, Lovo joined the guitar and Notna down. Together with a box of rhythms, the first concerts in Galicia are offered at the end of 2003 and 2004, in which they even visit Euskadi.

New jobs also came with the new training. O Diaño das Tebras was released in 2005 on a CD shared with the Basques Nakkiga and Omendark through Oniric Records, and In the mystical search of Amh-ghad-ari, edited in the same 2005 on a CD shared with the Portuguese band Decayed, also through Nigra Mors . In these works he has had the special collaborations of Leonardo in the violin and The Celtic King In Exile in the Irish bagpipe.

At the beginning of 2006, with Aboriorth already in the drum position, and after offering the first concert in Portugal, in the IV Metal Attack of Covilhâ, Nocturno decides to return to the beginning and that Xerión becomes a solo project (something that in the background it will always remain).
