Band Line Up 2021

Formed in 2014, Agrona is a Blackened Metal Juggernaut hailing from South Wales with the intention of following in the path of its namesake, the Celtic Goddess of carnage and slaughter.  Presently fronted by a ferocious vocal assault from the equal parts bewitching and terrifying Adara and underpinned by a relentless rhythm section with founding members Kreulon & Ankou alongside axemen Aeron & Arawn.  Agrona have honed their craft across the UK underground circuit, melding bombastic sonic mayhem and theatrical stage performance.

Building on a successful 2016 Metal to the Masses South Wales campaign that saw them tear apart the New Blood Stage at Bloodstock, Agrona entered Woodcroft Audio Studios to capitalise on the momentum and record their debut full length Realm of the Fallen - snapped up by renowned UK underground label “UKEM Records” for release in 2018 to widespread acclaim.  Following the adage of “No rest for the wicked”, Agrona have worked hard to tour their ritual across the UK in the time before, during and following album release, sharing the stage with notable British acts such as Desecration, Venom Prison, The Infernal Sea, Krysthla & Ethereal, in addition to Festival appearances and supporting overseas talent such as the likes of Sarkom, Zornheym & Grà.

Building on a succesful campaign of shows in 2019 that saw them support Winterfylleth, Akercocke, Anaal Nathrakh & Imperium Dekadenz as well as memorable showings at both Eradication And Warhorns festivals, Agrona have every intent on extending their reach in 2020 in order to showcase new material and bludgeon with tried and tested anthems – where better than the one festival that inspired their birth?

Four years ago we lived the dream getting the chance to perform at Bloodstock on the New Blood stage through the Metal to the Masses initiative - to receive the opportunity and honour to relive this and then some is a privilege we will never take for granted.  That moment was a catalyst to everything that has followed and it has sculpted and molded us into a unit that has always hungered for more.  Our number are long-standing patrons & fans of the festival first and foremost, so we are all too aware that this will be a moment where we must take no prisoners and show no mercy.   We will show our immeasurable thanks in the faith displayed in us with vitriol, chaos and flame!

A storm is coming for you, Bloodstock...

Bloodstock, Mae'r storm yn dod.
