  Annwn - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Annwn or Annwfn, ("under-world" or "un-world", sometimes inaccurately written Annwyn, Annwyfn or Annwfyn) was the Otherworld, the land of souls that had departed this world in Welsh mythology.
Annwn was said to lie so far to the west that not even Manawydan ap Llyr had found it, for you could only reach Annwn by dying yourself.
It was also said, though, that Annwn could be entered by those still living if they could find the door.

Once in Annwn, a spirit or soul could not leave unless Arawn gave his permission and lowered the spiritual barriers that surrounded Annwn and set it apart from the world.
He also decreed that henceforth each soul or spirit that entered the Deadlands of Annwn would be given their very own crypt in so as not to be jealous of the Crypt of the Inconnu.

 Encyclopedia article on Annwn [EncycloZine]   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Annwn, (alternatively: Annwfn, Annwyn, Annwyfn, and Annwfyn) was the Otherworld, the land of souls that had departed this world in Insular Brythonic mythology, specifically Welsh.
In the Book of Taliesin, an esoteric poem called Preiddeu Annwfyn (conventionally translated The Spoils of Annwn) on its face tells a tale of Arthur (often interpreted as King Arthur) and his knights traveling through Annwn, searching for a magical cauldron possessed by nine women.
But Welsh poetry was for centuries transmitted orally by bards and the most probable speculation is that the poem was composed by Taliesin in the 6th century and the 10th century appearance arises because that is when it was first written down.

The Gwragedd Annwn (pronounced Gwrangeth anoon) are beautiful and strange fairies who dwell in the lakes of Faerie.

Though they can survive quite well on the fish and vegetation of their native lakes, the Gwragedd Annwn are happiest and healthiest when they can feed off the life force of mortals.

 CoC : Cwn Annwn - Cwn Annwn : Review
With such an atypical and interesting band name, as well as hailing from the mid-west, Cwn Annwn (pronounced coo-nah-NOON) was a band I was interested in checking out.
Be that as it may, Cwn Annwn's new demo needs an angle.
Naming themselves after the Welsh "hounds of hell", on first impression Cwn Annwn paints a vivid word picture of a severe thrash metal outfit, but musically burns a bit too rich in the gas/oil mixture.
