“Celtic folk music, powerfully played heavy metal, kilts, bagpipes, expressive hymns and an invitation to sing along with each melody..." You might not think this can be a band coming from Argentina, but it can be so and Triddana masterfully prove it!

 

They were formed in 2011 in Buenos Aires, the band's name derived from the Irish word "Troideanna", which means "fights" or "battles". They quickly forged a reputation in their homeland with their top performances, onstage charisma and Metal/Celtic fusion that easily caught up both folk metal fans and audiences beyond the genre. Their first singles gradually earned them a solid core of followers abroad as well, and by the time "Ripe for Rebellion" (2012) was released, the hype around the band among fans and attentive media made them land on the pages of the Metal Hammer Magazine (Germany) for the first time.

 

The success of their second full-length release, "The Power & the Will" (2015), definitively paved the way to their first gigs in Europe, in the summer of 2016. The band only appeared in a handful of festivals in Germany and Spain, but the reaction from their audiences was so enthusiastic that their return next year was secured. This was the beginning of Triddana's journey to establish themselves in the European scene, every tour taking shape with the resonance left behind every time they climbed on a stage.

 

The group kept alternating gigs in their home country and in Europe, but their music production didn't slow down despite their intense activity. In the next years they enlarged their discography with "Twelve Acoustic Pieces" (2017) and "Rising from Within" (2018). During the world-wide halt brought by the pandemic, the band started to work on their next album, the first song releases taking place for their return to touring activities in 2022, in the shape of the EP "Wasted Paradise". The band experienced a strong surge in popularity since then, as they embarked on longer tours, visited new countries and played for larger crowds. The release of their new album, "Breaking from the Fold" in July 2024, was warmly received by their ever-growing fan base and media, which included landing Spotify editorial placements and airing in Germany's renowned Radio Bob.

 

Their activity never ceases to resonate and after five studio albums, seven European tours, landing higher billings every year and attention from relevant media like Metal Hammer and RadioBob, it is quite clear that Triddana arrived in the scene to leave their mark.
