Metal Bands

Isar

Hi. Is there any good or famous black metal bands from ireland here?

Ishmael

Primordial. is the only one i know of. Theres probably lots more but i'd be at a loss to try and name any.

As far as black metal goes there isn't a great pile. Antioch would be the only real black metal band I know of from Ireland, but there's a few who would have black metal influence, the biggest being Primordial and Cruachan.

mostly we seem to gravitate towards Death Metal bands coming out of Ireland, and there's plenty of decent ones........
I don't know about too many Black Metal bands that have lasted or had any decent output.....

Were Kingdom Black Metal or Death Metal ???

I always thought Black Metal would have been bigger here, from the point of view of bands, just thought we'd the right environment for it, but I guess not, either that or there aren't enough people with the BM ethos that are musical too......

There's a band from Cork called Altar of Plagues who seem to be making a bit of headway.

Is that a response to my post? If so, I'm nothing to do with Na Damanta. My referring to them as Black Metal is down to the fact that they have themselves listed as "Death Metal / Black Metal" on their MySpace page.

I have only one song, Bloody Sunday and it has nothing to do with black metal.
Though the song is good, have traditional Irish melodies in it, and it's quite interesting to me though I'm limited only to Thrash and Death.

But Northern Ireland has one hell of a band. They're still newcomers, but sound like they're from 80's.

Great googly mooglies...

As has been said...

FOR RUIN
ALTAR OF PLAGUES

NA DAMANTA
DIABOLICUS
SIORAI GEIMHREADH
ETERNAL HELCARAXE
SOLACE OF NADIR
McGALLIGOG
NOCTURNAL HOLOCAUST

And there are most definitely a million other outfits banging about the countryside...

There's list of all Irish bands on Metalireland so you can root through there.

And do a band search on Myspace, putting in Venom or Mayhem as an influence. You'll get your bands there.

I'm one of the guitarists in Na Damanta and I wouldn't really call us black metal either. Don't know which one of us put it as the genre

You can't trust that MySpace. I've seen a few black metal bands on it with Japanese pop listed as one of their genres.

My favourite Irish black metal band at the moment is Nocturnal Holocaust. Ya can't beat good ol corpse paint!

I'm suprised nobody mentioned Arcane Sun, they only released one album back in 1998, but its a stunning album and truly well worth checking out.
