CNOCANTURSA (Hill of Sorrow) a Scottish metal Band forged in 2006 in Falkirk, an ancient Borough whose Motto is:
‘Better Meddle wi the Deil than the Bairns O’ Falkirk’.
Intense, symphonic ballads, with music heavily inspired by the early 90s’ first wave of Blackmetal which, combined with the tales of a much neglected art form, old Scottish poems, creates a totally unrivaled sound of heavy black metal rock, with ravenous, melodic undertones, and ancient, rhythmical lyrics.
Scandinavia has been the forefront of black metal music for many years and Cnocuntursa are here to prove that their music rivals any Nordic bands, that black metal has finally found its roots in Scotland.
Their first 3 track demo was completed in 2008, recorded and mixed by Cnocantursa/Ed Sokolowski.
The tracks are
Winter A Dirge - Rabbie Burns
Ettrick Forest in November - Sir Walter Scott
Hail Land of My Fathers - Prof. John Stuart Blackie
Cnocantursa’s main focus is to get the new demo out to as many ’fans’ as possible and their future goal is to create an album.
Up coming live events; 13th July at Deathfest (Glasgow)
18th July at Barflay (Glasgow)
