Celtic Rock Complete

Cernunnos Rising

The horned god of the forest wakes.

The myth behind this album

Embark on a legendary musical journey through ancient Celtic forests with "Cernunnos Rising." This 9-song Celtic Rock odyssey brings the mythical Horned God to life through classic 70s rock energy, soaring Celtic fiddle melodies, and powerful storytelling vocals that channel the spirit of Jethro Tull, Thin Lizzy, and Horslips.

A Note on Pronunciation. Throughout this album, Cernunnos is pronounced with a soft "C" (like "Sair-NOO-nos"). After recording several songs, I learned that the hard "C" pronunciation ("Ker-NOO-nos") is considered more historically accurate by most scholars. Rather than remake the entire album, I maintained the soft "C" for consistency. While some historical sources do suggest variant pronunciations existed, I acknowledge the hard "C" is generally preferred. No disrespect to Celtic tradition is intended - this was a creative choice made early in the album's development, and I'm grateful to the knowledgeable listeners who helped educate me on proper Celtic pronunciation!

The Epic Story. Follow the Horned God from his awakening in primordial forests through his eternal role as lord of animals, guardian of life and death, and leader of the Wild Hunt. Witness the clash between ancient wild wisdom and modern destruction, culminating in a profound revelation: nature was never conquered - we just forgot to listen. The wild was always here.

Musical Journey. From intimate Celtic harp and acoustic guitar to full electric rock power with distorted guitars and thundering drums, this album blends authentic Celtic instrumentation (fiddle, flute, pipes) with 70s rock energy. Each song builds upon the last, creating an immersive mythological experience that ranges from whispered forest magic to soaring anthemic climaxes. The journey comes full circle - from awakening to the realization that the wild was always present.
