BELENOS
ARGOAT

Belenos from Brittany is one of the oldest French Black Metal bands, continually active for almost 25 years, most of the time as a solo-project with live session members.
Three years after "Kornog", an album dealing with the water element of Breton's sea legends, Belenos’ 7th studio album, entitled “Argoat”, which means something like "land of the woods", continues where its predecessor left off and focuses on the earth element - mainly local mystic forests, wild animals and Celtic gods. It is again sung in Breton, with the original lyrics as well as English translations of them included in the booklet. The final track the album, "Arvestal", is a metal interpretation of a John Barry song (The Persuaders - 1971).
Argoat was recorded between November 2018 and May 2019, as usual in Belenos’ own home studio, and will be released as Collector’s Edition in A5-Digipack, limited to 500 copies, and as regular edition in jewel case, both including a 12-page booklet.
