Hello,
In its eight years of existence, the Cernunnos has managed to establish itself as a key meeting place of pagan metal in France and in Europe, the 2014 edition even sold out!
The Cernunnos is more than just a festival, it's a real medieval celebration in the heart of Paris with artisans, games, entertainment and a traditional tavern that offers a historic cuisine.
More than 900 festival-goers meet annually at La Machine du Moulin Rouge (Paris 18) to be united with the largest pagan / folk / Viking metal bands in Europe.
This year the festival will welcome several bands who have never played in France.




The bands:

MOONSORROW : Undeniable leaders of folk metal, Moonsorrow has marked more than one generation of metalheads.
Formed in 1995 by the Sorvali, City and Henri cousins (Fintroll, Barathrum, Ensiferum), the Finnish have just released "The Heritage", a unique 14 LP limited-edition box set.
Cernunnos 8 gives them the pride of place for a boastful show with coats of mail and headbanging to celebrate their twenty-year career in the greatest Pagan tradition.


CRUACHAN : Far from being mere Highlanders, Cruachan handles the bodhrán just as well as heavy riffs. And for a good reason: Cruachan is considered
THE founding group of folk metal. Being the only band of its genre to be able to boast having returned several times in the Irish Top 50, Cruachan,
symbol of Cernunnos' very essence, will be on show for the first time ever in France at the festival this year.


SVARTSOT : Originating from Danemark, Svartsot is a folk metal band skilfully combining traditional instruments to rather black compositions
with a death chant most efficient. This passing of the Scandinavians in our country will be the first, and it promises to set the pit alight!


THE MOON AND THE NIGHTSPIRIT: White magic, mysticism and shamanism, lost souls of the forest, you will love the Hungarians of "The Moon and The Night Spirit."
The guitars, the morin khuur and Fujura pipe will immerse you in the heart of traditional Pagan legends with their folk classic metal and Ágnes Tóth 's enchanting voice.
in France to present their new album: Holdrejtek (2014)


STILLE VOLK : returns to us this year with a new album, "La pèira Negra". They set fire to the Loco back in 2007, and the Elysée Montmartre in 2010.
There is no doubt that the atmosphere will be there once more with the band's wild Occitan folk.


FUROR GALLICO : Founded in 2007 in Italy, Furor Gallico has jostled folk metal with its only eponymous album released in 2011. Blending black and
death metal, bagpipes, harp, violin and bouzouki, the band renews the pagan codes.


LES COMPAGNONS DU GRAS JAMBON : Without warning, the Compagnons du Gras Jambon in their own way shake up the world of medieval music
and give to it spirit, humour, and a personal zeal.Exhilarating and powerful rhythms, festive and cheeky melodies, it is with enthusiasm and generosity that
this kick-ass band from Toulouse sets the crowds alight and shares its music bursting with vitality.


LUTECE : is a Parisian Black metal band formed in 2006. Their music defines itself as an epic fresco glorifying that past, uniting a pagan thematic to a modern
and technical black metal. Their second album, Our Ashes Blown Away, was released in 2013.


ITHILIEN: is a Belgian folk metal band providing an epic mixture of black and death metal surrounded with Celtic, Viking and Norse traditional folk music.
Because of the territory's history, these ancient cultures are still very present in the warriors' spirit and blood, and they have become the main
inspirations in the unique universe oF theband.


CEREVISIA : is a melodic pagan/death band originally from Marseille introducing ancient epic battles and songs to be drank by an old warrior telling
his tales in a tavern by the fireside. The band released its first album titled Trails of a Walker.
