Stille Volk from Pyrénées
was created in 1994 and aims at a music of celtic and medieval
influence as well as adorned with modern elements. That's why many
instruments from all origins and all ages are played : hurdy-gurdy,
arabic lute, violin, bouzouki, bagpipes, chalemie, mandolin, portable
organ, bombarde, various flutes, and other stringed instruments.
The
band signed up with Holy Records after the demo "Ode aux
lointains souverains" (1995) which was very successful, and
released its first album "Hantaoma" in 1997 : this CD
offers an acoustic music of traditional and medieval influence whose
concept is based on Pyrenean mythology (pantheon, spirits,
legends,...).
The second album "Exuvies"came out in 1998
and presents an obscure music which is more electric while still
keeping acoustic bits and some bewitching laments. The band
apprehends paganism as an intuition or something surreal.
"Le
satyre cornu" will be released in June 2001 and rests on a very
energic and medieval style, an orgiastic and mystic atmosphere
punctuated with the language of 12th century troubadours revived
thanks to a most unusual music (it contains a medireview version of
Occitanie, of an Iron Maiden song).
In june 2003, the 4th album is
out: its called Maudat. According to the artistic tradition of the
band, this is a conceptual album about a sorceress who travels into a
phantasmatical universe full of myths, visions and legends. This is a
fantastic ride into a universe of various instruments which declaim
their madness, a tragic and festive nocturnal dance, a mythical past
filled with incredible melodies, overexcited ambiances jumbled wtih
emotional moments, a Middle Ages and celtic music recreated by this
fantastic band. A lot of spells are ready to take your souls while
listening to these telluric songs. Maudat is their new album,
bewitching, a mix of lively tunes and dark laments. The album "
Nueit de sabbat" is created in 2009 and la Pèira Negra in 2014.
