"One of the strongest unsigned discoveries in the genre in the last couple of years."
Manuel Liebler, METAL HAMMER
"...the quartet creates damn strong song material in which the folk element plays an important role."
Stefan Glas, ROCK HARD
"Highland bagpipes, heavy metal played with energy and class, folk sounds and an invitation to sing along with each melody..." Maybe surprising for some that a bunch from Buenos Aires can fit to these words but it can happen, and Triddana have made a trademark out of this fusion of styles, transcending genre boundaries.
The name of the band is a spelling variation of the Irish word "troiddeana" ("fights" or "battles"), and speaks of the bold spirit that drove them forward along the years, making them regular visitors of European stages and fan favourites for metalheads around the world. Everywhere they go they will take audiences by surprise and draw them into their world!
Their music is enchanting and spirit-lifting and every concert is a celebration. Celtic blood has been present for long in their corner of the world, and they masterfully prove it on every stage and in every song.

Tour 2024
In the summer of 2024, Triddana smashed again the European stages, counting 15 appearances at festivals across Germany, France, Italy and Switzerland. The tour also heralded the release of their fifth studio album, title "Breaking from the Fold".
This year was full of great highlights, among them Hörnerfest, German Kultrock Festival and Ackerbrand Festival in Seth. The group had headliner performances at Druidia Celtic Festival, Festival des Légendes, Gena Festival and the renowned sea music event Internationales Festival Maritim, which gathers tens of thousands of people on a weekend, and which they visited for the fourth edition in a row.
As usual, the band reprised appearances in several festivals, all of which summoned them back after the enormous resonance of their concerts in previous tours! They appeared in Celtic Folk events, in mixed genre festivals and performing for their audience of die hard metal fans.

Discography
Ripe for Rebellion (2012)
“This debut for the band is nothing short of spectacular. May the flames of twilight forever burn in their impassioned heathen hearts!”
Rising From Within (2018)
”If you have already listened to Triddana, this album is precisely what is expected of this Argentine band. A lot of power, a great voice, and catchy melodies adorned in a greatly way by Pablo Allen’s bagpipes.” www.folk-metal.nl
Twelve Acoustic Pieces (2017)
“Ein Akustikalbum aufzunehmen war eine tolle Idee der Jungs von TRIDDANA! Ihre Mucke ist perfekt geeignet für so ein Experiment!”
The Power & The Will (2015)
“Thank the gods then for Triddana, the Argentinian power folk group who seem determined to teach the world that you don’t have to come from a country whose main exports are snow and beards to make some thunderous folk metal.”
