"Then they took the flowers of the oak, and the flowers of the broom, and the flowers of the meadowsweet, and from those they conjured up the fairest and most beautiful maiden that anyone had ever seen. And they baptized her in the way they did at that time, and named her Blodeuedd"
Heavily influenced by the Finnish metal scene and traditional Welsh folk music, Annwn was founded in 2005 by Owain ap Arawn (Aled Pashley). For some time Annwn remained as a one-man band, with Owain recording the first demo on his own, entitled 'From The Highest Citadel'. Soon after the release of this demo, Martin joined the band as the drummer and Gavin soon followed as an additional guitarist. For some months then, various keyboardists came and went, during which time Nevern joined as the bassist. A second demo was released in 2007, simply titled 'Annwn'.
As the music has progressed over the past few years, the style has leant away from Scandinavian influenced 'Viking metal' and more towards a more 'Celtic metal' feel.
The name of the band, Annwn, is the name of the Otherworld in Welsh mythology. It was an island that existed somewhere far to the west of Wales, so far away that that only way you could reach there was to die. It was a place of eternal happiness, green fields and hills, and all the food and drink you could ever desire.
It was however possible to reach Annwn by another means...in legend, there existed a door which lead directly to the land. This door was rumoured to have been somewhere at the mouth of Afon Hafren (the River Severn). Once a year, the door was opened in order for mortals to enter the land of Annwn and feast in its green lands for one day, on the condition that nothing was taken back from the land to the mortal world at the end of the day. On one years feast though a man pocketed a small flower from its gardens and passed through the doorway back to his own world...and because of this, the door to Annwn was sealed shut forever, and in time its location was lost in folklore and myth...
For those who do not speak Welsh, Annwn is pronounced AN-NOON.
