简介
By the end of 2010, a simple thought started to shape as a project in Julián's and Gustavo's minds. Soon Julián presented some compositions, with international folk bands as references, and started to play them together. They both decided to advance in that project, so they contacted some friends and “friends of friends” to complete the formation. Vity and David didn't doubt for a moment to join the band, in January of 2011 the band consolidated itself with a first formation of drums, bass, guitar, bagpipe and flutes. Thanks to the friendship between the members and the different styles they all had played before, the band evolved very fast in a little time. In May of 2011 Patricia joined as violinist. At the end of May the band has already enough compositions to work on its first album, that was recorded and mixed during summer at DZG studios (Dezege Producciones) and mastered at Finnvox by Mika Jussila in September 2011. The artwork was carried by Jan Yrlund at Dargrove design and was finished by November 2011. The album, called “Tirikantam”, was released December 23rd 2011, and presented in the “Tirikantam Winter Tour”. Since little before releasing “Tirikantam” and during winter and spring, the band members dedicated their time to compose new songs and prepare performances for the summer, playing in festivals and sigle gigs in different spots of the Spanish geography. After the summer the band continues with more timely-spaciated performances to dedicate the time almost entirely to the composition of a new album. Little before ending 2012, the band inscribed itself in the Rolling Rock Bar bands contest performing a first show as contestant, and then after being selected, a second and final show as contest finalist, being the winner of the First Award. In January 2013, the band participates in the Viking Fest España first edition, called Gatuperio Viking Fest in Madrid, where a little advance of the second album is made with two songs called “Eimos to katum” (We're marching to war) and “Kladimoi” (Swords). The tour continues reaching different parts of the Spanish geography as Granada, Cordoba, La Gineta (Albacete), Madrid again, and of course, Ciudad Real, among others, both in concerts and at festivals such as GinetaRock, Estayike Rock. Celtibeerian shares the stage with important bands both nationally and internationally (Zarpa, Hora Zulu, Ankhara, José Rubio's Nova Era, Firewind (GRE), Sinbreed (GER), Månegarm (SWE), Fängörn (RUS), ...). At this point, David García decides to leave the band due to personal reasons. He is replaced by David Sánchez (Mörrighan) who plays viola, bagpipe, whistles, bouzouki, harp and vocals. After this line-up change, the band is being strengthened again as a 5-membered band. In September, the band came back to Dezege Studios to start the recording of the second album called "Keltorevolution", which is going to release in March 2014. This album is heavier and with more elaborated melodies and riffs, in fact the real sound of Celtibeerian, because now the band had time enough to do their best in the composition and also have a strong tie between his members. The album have great collaborations such as Jonne Järvelä and Tuomas Rounakari (Korpiklaani), Raúl Rodrigo (ex-Sherpa, the band of the bass player of Barón Rojo), and David Sánchez (ex-Celtibeerian bagpiper) and Patricia Téllez (Mörrighan). In January 2014 the band recorded the first videoclip of the album "Keltorevolution" with PinkFlamingo Studios, released in March. The tour begins the 28th March and they will be playing in lots of cities and festivals, inside and out of their country, Spain. We must highlight their gig at the Underwall Festival 2014 (Croatia), where they will play with many bands like Sepultura, Enslaved, Arkona, Amaranthe, Tankard, and Gutalax... and many more importat bands.
