	Religion of the Ancient Celts - Fionn Saga
		The saga embodies Celtic ideals and hopes; it was the literature of the Celtic folk on which was spent all the riches of the Celtic imagination; a world of dream and fancy into which they could enter at all times and disport themselves.
		Each candidate for admission to the band had to undergo the most trying ordeals, rivalling in severity those of the American Indians, and not improbably genuine though exaggerated reminiscences of actual tests of endurance and agility.
		But it is not unlikely that, as in the case of the Cúchulainn cycle, the folk versions may be truer to the original forms of the saga than the rounded and polished literary versions.

	Chapter 4 - Categories and Sungenres
		Classic metal bands were not as heavy and had a greater sense of melody than the thrash and death metal bands such as Metallica, Anthrax and Morbid Angel that they influenced.
		Most bands of this genre use downtuned and distorted guitars (usually utilising two), which play both rhythm and lead guitar parts, a downtuned, sometimes distorted bass guitar, a double bass drum set, and a vocalist who uses the death grunt vocal style.
		Thus, other bands that can be seen to fit the genre include Motörhead (whose gruff vocalist, Lemmy, won't be mistaken for Rob Halford), and also the band Venom, who were a direct influence on the genres of thrash and death metal.

		GEASA haven’t really had a stage show like that for a few years now and I have to admit I don’t miss it much, but sometimesI wouldn’t say our corpse paint /spikes/ leather days are gone forever!
		It’s a good representation of the bands work though, we could have done some things a bit more professionally but hey, we were young.
		I suppose as a band you have to keep learning by your mistakes,(in the studio and as a writer) So far I think that one has given me the most satisfaction, I have very high hopes for what we will record next though.

		Abaddon Incarnate are another Irish band that have been going for a lot longer than most people realise.
		After a German tour, the band had been changing their listening interests; moving away from the straight death that characterised "The Last Supper" and absorbing new styles from the likes of Brutal Truth and Nasum.
		Deciding that S.O.M were not 100% behind the band, they set out for a new deal and landed on Ireland's Sentinel Records, whose original plan was to release a split cd with Belfast's Hexxed in 2001.

		Back to traditions, Geasa has many meanings but most popularly it's known as a curse, a prohibition, an oath etc. It's an old Gaelic word and was always weighed by its seriousness, all victims or makers of the Geis were honour bound to see its realisation.
		Geasa also sounds quite the same as primordial, did you choose for that, or is it just the evolution of the sound of the band?
		Bands, especially metal bands aren't really respected by venue owners here, which is strange for a country so famous for its musical culture.
