1) Aes Dana was born from the meeting of Vincent Villuis, former member of goa chill band Asura, and Sunbeam (aka Mahiane) who spins english progressive vinyls, Aes Dana stands as a coherent fusion of both styles.

They bring out deep sounds rooted in the psychedelic tradition, in a fluid down tempo morning trance. Both musicans tend to create evocative sound textures, opening as a traveling over their analogical dreams. Short tales made of samples and waves, energised by tribal beats. Soundtrack for the early party letting time for the moon and the tempo to set, or for afters to slow down the nocturnal excesses and celebrate the return of the Sun. Aes dana's music is to be enjoyed between the veils.

2) Aes Dana is a black and pagan metal band formed in 1994. At the very beginning they played a black metal tainted by some celtic influences. They afterwards turned towards true pagan metal, incorporating mainly Celtic folk melodies.

1994-1995: Aes Dana was created by Taliesin (guitar) and Amorgen (tin whistle and flutes). Vidar (vocals)and Storm quickly joined the band. Then Aes Dana started to compose.

1996: A demo: ‘Chroniques du Crépuscule’ was recorded in december. The six tracks of this recording can be described as atmospheric black metal with celtic and medieval parts. The lyrics, written by Vidar, described the strange worlds where his erring ways lead him. Visions, chimera and legends of an ancient and fantastic kingdoms…

1997-1998: After strong desagreements with Storm, Amorgen left the band. A new bassist and a second guitarist, Seth, joined Aes Dana. With this line-up Aes Dana began to play new songs in a more brutal way. After six months of silence, Amorgen came back to Aes Dana, and the band went back to his traditionnal influences.
The new lyrics, in french, evokes pagan sagas. In the same way that the aes dana, the druids and bards of the ancient times, continually recreated their mythology, Aes Dana transfigures the myths with their visions and carries them with their music.
The music born at that time was more violent and scared, ancient sonority and celtic dimension were revealed by the brutality of the new tracks.

1999: Storm left the band and was replaced by JuanJolocaust.

2000: At the end of april, Aes Dana entered studio to record its first MCD. In the same month, Tilion (guitar) replaced Seth, who left friendly Aes Dana to devote himself to his bands of grindcore and brutal black (Antaeus and SCD).
The band decides then to incorporat new traditional instruments to the music and Amorgen starts to mix the sonority of a medieval bombarde to the new tracks

2001: In june, Aes Dana signed with Sacral Production (Belenos, Hegemon) and recorded “La Chasse Sauvage”

2004: “Formors” was published.

2006 : Myrddyn is now the tin whistle player

There is no ignorance
Already seen

On the threshold
Of the pristine nests
Ready to enter

Of being simple.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Aes Dana's "Hug" are enigmatic and open to interpretation. The lines "The crystal house," "There is no ignorance," and "Already seen" suggest a sense of clarity, understanding, and awareness. The "crystal house" may refer to a state of mind that is pure and transparent, while the absence of ignorance and the idea of having already seen may indicate a level of wisdom and insight.

The following lines, "On the threshold / Of the pristine nests / Ready to enter / Of being simple," can be read as an invitation or a transition from a state of complexity to simplicity. The "pristine nests" may represent a state of purity or innocence, while being "ready to enter / Of being simple" suggests a willingness to let go of complexities and embrace simplicity.
