DESMODIUM folk-metal band
|
DESMODIUM is an Israeli hard-folk band originating from Beer-Sheba. The band's musical style combines hard-rock with medieval traditional songs in a variety of languages, including Gaelic, English, Old Swedish, Breton, Occitan, Savo Finnish, Latin and Old & Middle High German, blending the sound of the standard rock instruments with historical instruments (such as bagpipes, Irish whistle, Celtic harp). In 2013, Eric and Miri Gershkovich launched a musical project based upon Carmina Burana, a medieval collection of poetry. Later, they were joined by Dmitry Natanel, Michael Volinskiy, Alex Vainer and Lev Etin, thus completing the lineup. The band was titled DESMODIUM after a "dancing" flowering plant, sometimes called tick-trefoil or tick clover. Band Members: Miri Gershkovich - lead vocals, percussion Erik Gershkovich - bagpipes, percussion, back-vocals Dmitriy Netanel - guitars, back-vocals Lev Etin - keyboards, flutes, Celtic harp, percussion, back-vocals Michael Volinskiy - Bass-guitar, back-vocals Alex Vainer - drums, back-vocals
