Primordia: A New Era Band
You may not have heard about this band in the same way you will not have heard about all the nationwide fuels, but Primordia is a band that has become one of the best unknowns around.
This extreme metal band started by guitarist Ciarán MacUiliam and bassist Pól MacAmlaigh I their home town of Skerries in Dublin in 1987. When the band started out they were more concentrating on an early hybrid mix of death metal and, primitive thrash that was rough in its delivery.
In 1991 after seeing an advertisement for a vocalist in a local heavy metal store, Nemtheange joined the band. With a vocalist in place the band then began to take on a darker outlook with its music influenced by the emerging black metal scene in Norway, Celtic Frost, and Bathory.
With the release of ‘Dark romanticism'in 1993 their first demo Primordia became Ireland’s first black metal band. There first mainstream debut album was released in 1994 called Imrama.
Imrama was considered by many critics as being a kind of melodic black metal. There subsequent releases were considered more epic in style and included ‘A journey’s End’. The use of more cultural influence was evident in their next two albums ‘Spirit the Earth Aflame and The Burning Season, and showed an amalgamation of folk, Celtic, and black metal styles. The darkest and bleakest of their albums was their fifth ‘The Gathering Wilderness'was released in 2005.their latest album is called ‘Redemption at the Puritan’s Hand'and was released in April this year.
