Druids: Formed in 2008, Druids set out to make heavy music. Influenced by metal behemoths such as Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath and Mastodon while embracing progress, letting the music do the talking. Since humble beginnings as a drum and bass 2-piece, they’ve since transformed into a trio, creating a wall of heavy riffage and beauty. Druids has released two albums, ‘Pray For Water’ (2009) and ‘The Sound of Meditation’ (2013), and have expanded their sound with each documented step. Now 8 years later, Druids is still working to broaden their take on the horizons of metal. They continue delivering what can only be described as an intense and powerful live show. The band is to release their third full length, ‘Cycles of Mobeum’ June 3rd, 2016.
