ITA:
Tra il fango delle paludi pontine nascono i Korrigans, da un'idea di Solstafir (batteria) e Torc (chitarre, bouzouki, whistles), le cui prime composizioni già si basano su sonorità folkloristiche e antiche, un vero e proprio marchio di fabbrica da lì in poi. La line up cambia spesso fino all'arrivo di Ensis (chitarra, 2011 - 2014), con il quale la formazione diviene più salda, ma la vera anima dei Korrigans si materializza grazie anche all'arrivo delle sonorità folk di Spiorad (fisarmonica e tastiere) e dell'approccio black di Thanatos (voce), già noto nella scena underground per aver militato negli Hybris. Successivamente, con l'arrivo di Dalk (basso), si completa la line up che andrà a registrare il primo demo "Korrigans". L'idea è quella di proporre melodie derivanti dalla musica celtica e folk europea, arricchite da furiose componenti black metal destinate a ricordare la memoria dei nostri antenati tra storia, miti, battaglie e vino!
Nell'autunno del 2014 esce il primo full lenght "Ferocior Ad Rebellandum", un concept album che, tra le testimonianze storiche di Tito Livio e gli antichi miti pagani, ricalca le orme delle guerre tra Volsci e Romani e della ribellione contro l'oppressione da parte dell'Urbe.
Nell'inverno 2014 la line-up torna ad essere completa con l'arrivo di Dubnòs (chitarra).

ENG:
Among the mud of the Pontine Marshes the Korrigans were born by an idea of Solstafir (drums) and Torc (guitars, bouzouki, whistles), whose first compositions were already influenced by folk contamination, which then become a true trademark. The lineup often changes until the arrival of Ensis (guitar, 2011 - 2014). However, the true spirit of Korrigans is materialized also with the folk sound of Spiorad (accordion and keyboards) and the black metal approach of Thanatos (vocals), already known in the underground scene for having militated in Hybris. Then, with Dalk at the bass, the line up is completed to record their first demo "Korrigans". The idea is to propose melodies derived from european folk and celtic music, enriched by a black metal approach designed to remember the history of our ancestors up to recount the ancestral pagan traditions.
In the autumn of 2014 they released their first full length album "Ferocior Ad Rebellandum", a concept album that, among the historical testimonies of Tito Livio and the ancient pagan myths, follows in the footsteps of the wars between Romans and Volscians and the rebellion against the oppression by Rome.
In winter 2014 Korrigans' line-up is complete again with Dubnòs (guitar).
