Aódhan Damir

Aódhan Damir (briefly known as Aódhan) is a Lovian black metal band founded in 1994. The group disbanded in 1999 and reunited briefly from 2003 to 2004. They reunited again in 2011. Aódhan Damir is signed to the independent Dynamic Noise label.

Aódhan Damir consists of Rod Melvyn (lead guitars, vocals), Matt Cornwall (bass guitar, backing vocals) and Kenrick Lennon (drums). Kevin Oldfield of Nothing The Black Celebration was a founding member of the band, but left the band in 1995 after he had grown increasingly dissatisfied with the musical output of Aódhan Damir. He was replaced by Henry Black (pseudonym of Henry Madsen), who left the band in 1999. Matt Cornwall plays bass guitar for the band since 2003, and briefly left the band in 2012, but returned later that year.

The band employs the traditional rock set-up of a lead guitar, bass guitar and drums. Aódhan Damir is influenced by Golgoroth and Mayhem among others. The band has rejected both the white suprematist ideology associated with the black metal scene, and is not hostile against Christianity.
