Synopsis

Album Details

Tornaod Burst Upon the Paris Music Scene in Early 1998. The Band Name Means "Cliff" in the Brittany Tongue. Their Music is an Inter-celtic Mixture of Breton, Irish, Scottish and Progressive. Their Roots Are Firmly Planted in the Traditional, but They Incorporate Modern Influences (Folk-rock, Hard Rock, New Age, Gothic), also Ethnic Accents. They have the Unique Ability to Modulate from a Traditional Dance Suite Into a Breton Rock Rhythm with Masterful Dexterity.

CD Reviews

Celtic Tornado Blows Into Town

09/15/2003

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is Celtic rock but different & much more progressive (there's that word!) than something 7N (how I love 'em!) or Glengarry Bhoys would crank out. Numbers like "Al Labous Marv," "Paddy's Lament" & "Desert Of Soul" speak of a talent that is steeped in Celtic tradition, to be sure, but augmented beautifully by the colour of TORNAOD's own French background & a rock sensibility brought forth by electric guitar, bass & drums. It all comes to a head on the massive "Tir Na Nog," a nearly 12 minute epic that blows me away every time I hear it. This is the kind of stuf that sets new standards for a growing field."

Brilliant Neo-Celtic Album!

"The best album of Celtic music I have ever run across. And they are incredible live as well! Blends something from modern rockmetal, traditional Celtic sounds and songs, and some interesting twists on classic Celt instruments. Absolutely brilliant!"
