Биография : Kerifern

Everything started about 6 years ago around the swamps of the Guérande peninsula (Brittany)... First made up with HugKerwor (Kvorhüug) on lead guitar and BBD (Ehrryk) on drums, the first musical project was created when Örm came in as a singer and the group started practicing and covering different bands' songs. Örm quickly jumped to rhythm guitar and Fañch joined the ranks with his bass. What used to be a simple musical project therefore became a full band.
We baptized it “Kerwor” (year 2000), and we abandoned the covers to concentrate ourselves on composing our own material. The name “Kerwor” was finally replaced by actual “KerIferN”, a name of breton origin. The band is henceforth grouped together in the same city, which allows faster projects like compositions, recordings, concerts etc...

In order to complete the line up, Myrkkel join us, as a singer, on the begining of the year 2005.


LINE UP :

- Myrkkel : vocals

- Fañch : bass guitar

- Ehrryk BBD: drums

- Örm : rhythm guitar, backings

- Kvorhüug : lead guitar, backings




Several concerts under both names were made in and around Brittany during these years, the last ones being held on :

- August 20th at "Barbecue Métal" in Tréméreuc

- June 17th, 2005 at Le Floride in Nantes (with Yersinia pestis and Misein)

- March 19th, 2005 at the Mat'sa café in La Roche/Yon (with Tryskhell and Whispering Tears))

- March 10th, 2005 at the Barakason in Nantes (with Alcyon)

- September 25th, 2004 at V&B in Sainte Luce/Loire (with De vermiis Mysteris, Nemeton and Cipher)

The party goes on and other concerts are on the way for next months (confirmed in Nantes on June the 17th and 21st, in Tréméreuc on August the 22nd, others planned in Angers, Lille, Paris or Belgium).

Touring is for us the best way to be promote the band ; it is actually the reason why we are rather active in this field, even though we have to organize them ourselves.





On the promotion aspect, we released this year (March) a 4-tracks MCD which was fully realized by our own hands from recording to production.

This demo stresses our will to get known in France or abroad and therefore to find a record label which corresponds on one thand to our identity and on the other hand to our musical ambition (recording an album next winter, touring France and other countries, spreading metal on our way…).

We already got several feedbacks from the promo CDs we sent (see Media/Press section).



We are currently developing a musical identity close to Celts' Gallic people and if a definition must be stuck to us, we usually hear ourselves called a “Gallic thrash/black metal band” with some “folky stuff in it”. Please make your own opinon and let us know about your interest !
