Furor Gallico is a Celtic metal and Folk metal band that had originated in Milan, Italy. The band was formed by a collaboration among Melissa (past member, bass), Stefano (guitar) and Becky (Celtic harp) in 2007. The band was formed upon the idea of playing new school Italian folk metal. They have released only one demo album and two full length album so far. Pagan was later added for vocals and Marco played the drums. Furor Gallico have songs in both English and in Italian, the band members take alternating roles in who writes the lyrics and composes the music in either language. The song Curmisagios was even written in dialetto brianzolo, a lombard dialect spoken in the area of Brianza, in western Lombardy.[2]
Etymology
Furor Gallico is the description that the ancient Romans had given to the state of blood lust that the Celtic Warriors, who were ready to attack in battle to defend their people and their land, had possessed. They claim that they are the bards who live to pass on the legends of the now lost Celtic Worlds. They utilize growling, screaming and clear vocals combined with sounds of the harp, whistles, violin and bouzouki.[3]
History
The band formed in 2007 by Melissa (past member bass), Stefano (guitar) and Becky (Celtic harp). Pagan was added for vocals and Marco for the drums. The Celtic band did not feel complete and ready to make music until they invited Laura to play the violin and Oldhan to play as a second electric guitarist. The band started to play many live performances right off the bat, and later on they had met the multi-instrumentalist Merogaisus who added whistles, bouzouki and occasionally the bagpipes. In 2008, their first demo 390 b.c. - The Glorious Dawn had been recorded. Shortly after this release, Melissa had decided to leave the band for her own personal projects. This is when Mac had taken her position as bassist. The band started to grow to a very professional level. In 2009, Marco had been forced to leave due to commitments to his university which lead Simone to take control of the band. The band had then started to record their first full length album by the name of 'Furor Gallico', identical to the band's name. The album had been self-produced and distributed but had amazing success despite that. In 2009/2010, they had composed music for the opera "Hamlet" on multiple stages in Northern Italy, including at the Teatro Coccia di Novara. Now, the band is engaged in many live performances. Sword Chant, upon hearing their CD, reviewed them as the so-called Revelation of the Year.[3]
