Posted : By - 05 May 2008 : Arawn |
Greetings,
I have recantly completed an interview with Quentin Kalis of ChroniclesofChaos.com where I discuss a wide range of topics from the origins of Arawn's name to my future musical plans. I will post the link once it is up.
Almost all the writing has been done for Arawn's 3rd demo. I have six tracks written at present so this next demo will be twice as long as any of Arawn's previous recording efforts. I will start the actual recording process in July.
Hails!

| Download Arawn's First Demo for Free! |
Posted : By - 06 Feb 2008 : Arawn |
Call of the Cyhyraeth - Arawn's debut demo is now available for free download from this link:
http://rapidshare.com/files/80935016/Call_of_the_Cyhyraeth___Bonus.rar
As well as the original three tracks I have included a few bonus tracks including some very early demo recordings and an old cover of Bathory's 'Enter the Eternal Fire.' Whilst the quality of the recordings of these songs is very poor in comparison with Arawn's second demo I hope you can still appreciate some of the song writing and musical ideas which originate from this time!
Note: You will need to use a program, such as WinRAR, to extract the files once the folder has been downloaded. Some of the files are in their original format, .mp4, to preserve sound quality. Whilst I believe windows media player does not play .mp4 files, iTunes, which can be downloaded for free, does. |

| Arawn reviewed in Zero Tolerance Magasine! |
Posted : By - 29 Jun 2007 : Arawn |
"This three track CD is the debut of a one man-project inspired by Welsh folklore and melodic/epic black metal. Although very different heritage-wise. this reminded me of early Forefather, and like the anglo-saxons, Bleiddwn-y-Nos creates a sense of the epic with a basic sound. An interesting take on folkloric BM which could be the beginning of something a bit special." 4/6
Many thanks to Zero Tolerance for taking the time to write this review - Its great to have such praise from the UK's leading extreme metal magasine.

| Biography |
Arawn (pronounced Ah - roun) is the creation of Bleiddwn-y-Nos, an 18 year old multi - instrumentalist from South Wales. Arawn draw their name from Welsh folkore, which resonates strongly for Bleiddwn-y-Nos due to his Welsh heritage. Arawn's first demo, Call of the Cyhyraeth, was released in 2006 and, despite having a very amateur sounding production, received promising reviews from several online web 'zines and British metal magazine 'Zero Tolerance.' This was followed in early 2007 by a 3 way split CD with fellow British Black Metal bands Nebular Frost and Morkem, which was released through Hateworks Records. Arawn contributed one track off their first demo, 'Sleep the Waters,' and debuted a new song entitled 'Welsh Black Metal.' This was to become the title of Arawn's second demo which was released in the summer of 2007. The demo received great reviews from several online metal publications as well as another encouraging review in 'Zero Tolerance.' The removal of Arawn's myspace page in early 2008, for unknown reasons, has hampered the band's progress but Arawn is far from dead! Bleiddwn-y-Nos has written most of the material which will appear on Arawn's third demo, 'The Dying of the Light.' The material that has been written thus far is a natural progression from the 'Welsh Black Metal' demo retaining Arawn's sense of melody, atmosphere and folk influences whilst also incorporating some newer thrash metal and choral influences. Lyrically the demo will continue to explore Welsh folklore, history and emotion. Bleiddwn-y-Nos will begin to record the demo towards the end of March with the intention to release it before the summer. Fear the Return of Arawn!
