1 - Annwn is a folk and medieval music project by Sabine Hornung (vocals) and Tobias von Schmude (lute and bouzouki).
More information can be found at http://www.annwn-music.de/ and http://www.discogs.com/artist/Annwn+%282%29
2 - Heavily influenced by the Finnish metal scene, Annwn was founded in 2006 by Aled Pashley a.k.a. Owain ap Arawn, who recorded the first demo on his own. The band takes a lot of direction from folk/viking metal heroes Ensiferum and the genre-defying Wintersun.
Though one of the main genres of the band is "Viking Metal" (now a widely accepted official sub-genre of heavy metal), there is some doubt as to whether the band can use that term, as they are not based and have no ties to any Scandinavian countries...perhaps "Celtic Metal" is more appropriate?
The name of the band, Annwn, is the name of the Otherworld in Welsh mythology. It was an island that existed somewhere far to the west of Wales, so far away that that only way you could reach there was to die. It was a place of eternal happiness, green fields and hills, and all the food and drink you could ever desire. (Taken from their myspace page - http://www.myspace.com/annwnofficial )
3 - Annwn claim to be Celtic Rock, though "modern folk" is probably the closest.
You can buy a couple of their albums from amazon, and much of their music is freely available from http://annwn.nithaus.org/.
4 - ANNWN, A dutch speedcore/tekno/heavy electronics producer/live performer from utrecht, who owns the label Anti Narcose Records.

Eternity
Annwn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Rise from darkness at the break of dawn
Far beyond the world our eyes can see
A mystic realm lost in eternity.
A pale red moon low in the western skies
Tells of secrets from another time
Ghostly shadows caught in ancient trees
Will you ride across the ocean
To a world of peace and calm
Where the spirits rise from shadows
To a golden silver dawn
To the glass and crystal wonders
Where forever we may dwell
Once we set upon this new land
In the realm of myth and tale.
A sound of laughter echoes from the past
Like a dream once lost come true at last
To break the silence after years of war
And reunite the ones that were apart.
Will you ride across the ocean
To a world of peace and calm
Where the spirits rise from shadows
To a golden silver dawn
To the glass and crystal wonders
Where forever we may dwell
Once we set upon this new land
In the realm of myth and tale.
The lyrics to Annwn's song "Eternity" conjure up visions of a mystical realm that exists beyond the physical world, a place where crumbling walls of long-forgotten towns rise up from the darkness at dawn. The imagery suggests a place lost in the mists of time, untouched by the passing of years, where ancient trees and ghostly shadows guard the portals of eternity.
The lyrics also evoke a sense of longing and yearning, urging the listener to embark on a journey across the ocean to this world of peace and calm, where spirits rise from the shadows to a golden silver dawn. It's a world of glass and crystal wonders, where one may dwell forever once they set foot on this new land, in the realm of myth and tale.
Overall, the song paints a vivid picture of a mythical world that is both hauntingly beautiful and deeply alluring, a place where the past and present merge together to create a timeless realm of wonder and magic.

SkaalAarseth

Kenna Rose
Incredible song...

In my personnal oppinion, this singer has a very singular voice, not a disturbing voice. When I listen to her voice I imagine she could belong to Medieval times. Celtic Women are good but ordinary and Sarah Brightman is a Master in Lyrical singing but her voice can be annoying sometimes because it's too high-pitched. Never heared such a magical musical altough I listen to many music of this kind.
Enrique Sterling
Indeed, her voice is not your typical “siren” voice, but beautiful nonetheless.
If you want disturbing, check out anything by Ataraxia.
