About Ashaena

Ashaena appeared in June 2006, at the beginning as Cosmin’s solo project and then the other members being co-opted.
The first rehearsals took place after one year, and at the end of August 2007, Ashaena had its first concert in Galaţi in a formula including violin, too. Concerts followed then in Baia Mare and Iasi but without a violinist. Ashaena has always tried to catch a sound as close as possible to folklore.
Ashaena performs a Moldavian pagan metal with a lot of influences belonging to the native, Romanian mythology.
In February 2008, Ashaena entered the Negură Music Studio to record its first official material. It is to be called "Cei Născuţi din Pământ – The Ones Born from the Soil" and contains 9 tracks separated by 9 interludes called "vămi - borders", as in Vămile Văzduhului – Borders of the Air.
By its music, Ashaena seek for honoring and thanking to the ancestors, promoting the Romanian traditions and to keep alive those having breathed their last for this land.
