Sword Chant

DUR DABLA  shared this new song from the new album  " Eñvor An Avel ".  I had interviewed the band late October.

The debut album "Eñvor An Avel"  by Breton band  DUR DABLA  is out now. I interviewed the band by october. while a crowdfunding was for the full length.

Soon,  DUR DABLA  will release their  debut album titled " Eñvor An Avel ".  I interviewed them on that matter then. 01. Hi Marc! How happened things since the last time ? :)  Hey Krissy. Everything went quite well since that last interview. Even though our former bassist/singer left the band in early 2014, we managed to find two awesome musicians for the band the same year : Victor at the bass and Titan for the vocal parts. Since then we worked hard to prepare the songs of our new album, and started recording them in late 2015.

After revealed the back cover  for their debut album "Eñvor An Avel".  DUR DABLA now unveiled the front cover :

DUR DABLA 's debut album is entitled " Eñvor An Avel " and the band will launch a crowdfunding campaign for. Awaiting that time, heres a teaser :

DUR DABLA  unveiled the tracklist for their debut album yet untitled and now on mixing step.

I interviewed Marc'h from DUR DABLA . Enjoy!  01. Hello Marc'h! First of all, why have you chosen that bandname ? Hello Krissy, we have chosen this name because we are - especially me - really fascinated about north european mythology. Dur Dabla is the name of Dagda's magic harp, one of the main god in the irish mythology. He can make his harp plays by itself, and it has of course magical powers : it can make people cry, laugh or sleep. When we founded our band during the year 2007 it appeared that Dur Dabla suited us well. We were looking for a name which could render well the band's spirit, that is to say folk metal, but celtic folk metal as we always wanted to do. The only trouble we have encountered is the fact that we haven't any harp player in the band, and sometimes, people ask us if we have some harp in our compositions... We didn't think about that ! 02. Last year, you changed the logo for the better, can you describe us that bandlogo ? W...

Lets start this review with the cover-art.  I see it & I want to say “congrats” to the designer! The cover-art respects the bandname (harp), the genre & location of the band : “celtic” & the draw is particularly very good! The color itself reflects the metal aspect from the band. I open the jewel cd, and what do I see in my copy ? “to Krissy Dragonhead & Sword Chant”, signed Marc. :) But the font inside like the back cover, I don’t like much because its way too much of these big letters (like the big ones from their respective logo).
