“Success is a devilish opiate. A swift and heady drink that goes down smooth at first, and then starts to burn your throat and rattle your bones. Only to leave crater sized holes in your constitution the next day.”, says Brendan Boyd and he knows exactly what he’s talking about. As a front man with INCUBUS he released in the past 15 years 5 studio albums, selling up to 15 million copies. 8th July will be the date when the new album comes out, five long years after the number 1 record ‘Light Grenades’. For their latest body of work the band re-engaged renowned producer Brendan O’Brien (Pearl Jam, Rage Against The Machine, Bob Dylan).

'Furor Gallico' is the description that the ancient Romans gave the Celt warriors, who prepared for battle and were ready to die to defend their people and land.
FUROR GALLICO are the bards that bring the ancient legends of the Celtic world to life again with their folk metal! Their music features metal riffs with powerful growl and scream vocals that blend in with the melodic folk melodies of the violin, flutes, Celtic harp and bouzouki (a Greek lute). The band was formed in 2007 from an idea of Melissa (bass), Ste (guitar) and Becky (Celtic harp). They soon were joined by Pagan (voice), Marco (Drums), Oldhan (guitar), Laura (violin) and Merogaisus (whistles, bouzouki and bagpipes).
