Cyhiriaeth is a Folk/Black Metal from Madrid, Spain, founded by Jarleth (drums) and Antubel (guitars) in June 2000. Their lyrics focus mainly on Iberian Paganism, i.e. remembering and supporting Iberian pre-Roman, pre-Catholic traditions and culture. Their current line-up includes:

V. Ares: Vocals
Nehalennia: Bagpipe & flutes
Antubel: Guitars
Jarleth: Drums and backing vocals
Vaelico: Bass and backing vocals
Hermod: Guitars

According to their official website, their first release, Warchants From The Woods (2006) was a compilation of the three demos they had recorded before:



"Iberian Heathen Chants" (2003)
1. Intro
2. Premonition of Crows
3. Sons of the Honourless God
4. Laying in the Shadows
5. Through the Melancholy Forest
"Into the Nemeton" (2001)
6. ...And the Vultures Will Carry My Soul
7. Nimidi Fiduenearum
"Following the Wind's Path" (2000)
8. Intro / The Path
9 . The Wanderer
10 . Falling & Rising

In late 2004, the band entered the studio to record what would be their first full-length album, Lands of Ancient Cult, released in 2006 by Blood Fire Death Productions.

Quote:
The new songs have some more folk elements, but a lot of furious Black Metal too. A perfect mix of Iberian traditional music and Black Metal.
