Tuatha de Danann - Metal Prog?

Since they are now on Prog-Folk this thread will be locked.

Bruno's 2008 solo album (as Braia) was called "...E O Mundo De La", and hasn't got any metal in it at all. Pure folk rock, with both male and female vocals, & sung in Portuguese. He played several instruments on it himself, but there were many guest musicians involved too. All 10 tracks from the album are on YouTube - you'll find them by going to this link http://www.youtube.com/user/WeenaMorlocc#p/u and scrolling down the list of 28 posted videos, but here's a couple of the songs just to give you a feel...

Seems that Braia is more likely to be added here than Tuatha de Dannan.

In the case of a band such as this, who show so much variety in their material & are hard to accurately categorize, I think that the important thing is not to worry so much about WHO has them, but more about making sure that SOMEONE has them! Their style, varied as it was even in the beginning, has changed to a certain extent during the course of their development over the four released titles between 1999 and 2004. Their first (demo) album is a mixture of some old songs from two earlier EPs and new material, switching between delicate Celtic folk passages and much heavier material with occasional death metal growls - in places even within the same song! Their second is similar but with all new material, & is a far more polished production. The third introduces even more variety and complexity into the song-writing and musicianship, a development which is continued yet further with their fourth and final release (so far). The band's 2009 DVD is esentially a set of "acoustic" versions of a selection their songs from their four studio albums. They have opened for bands such as Nightwish and Blind Guardian, and played the Wacken Open Air festival in 2005. I guess the problem is that they have their feet firmly anchored in two widely contrasting camps, and it seems that neither is going to be keen to accept them (& indeed prog metal team have already said "no").

It's more a fun when we have a response within 6 months 

Nobody wins or loses. It's a fun.

Well the Prog Folk Team said they're willing to give this band a chance if the PMT doesn't want them, so I'll notify the PF team. 

meh, too bad they were rejected. They are a very interesting band nevertheless.

Could someone call the Prog Folk Team? I think they deserve a place on PA.
