Triddana
Argentinian musical group; Celtic power folk metal band
Triddana is an Argentinian Celtic power folk metal band formed in 2011, after several members departed from Skiltron. Triddana's music is a fusion of Scottish and Irish folk and powerful pure metal. The name of the band is taken from the Irish word "troideanna", which means "Fights" or "Battles". The current lineup consists of Juan José Fornés (vocals and lead guitar), Pablo Allen (bagpipe and whistles), Diego Rodríguez (bass) and Pablo Aquino (drums).
The band have released four albums since their formation: three studio albums and another one consisting of acoustic versions of their own songs. Since 2016, they have toured Europe every year, thus alternating performances in Argentina and that continent.
History
Triddana was founded in early 2011, in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Their music is usually branded as a combination of heavy metal and European "Celtic music" and/or folk, in that it combines conventional rock instruments with traditional Celtic instruments (Highland bagpipes, Irish tin whistle, etc.). This band's songwriting style is different from most bands also considered folk metal, featuring clean singing and a more melodic sound.
In early 2011 four of the six members of Skiltron announced their departure from the band, after irreconcilable differences with the remaining members.
