The band started as a concept in october 2000, but with no gear, no reharsing space and no money (and no drummer) we had to wait 4 years until we produced these things :D. In 2004 we started playing live acts and we finished the compositions for 2 conceptual records. We combine music similar to Romanian folklore with rock, sometimes metal, progressive ambiental music..Our name - BUCIUM - represents an old roumanian musical wood instrument having ancient spiritual and cultural roots. This instrument was used by our people, especially by shepherds, in battle - for coded signals or in times of peace for announcements. It actually represents a signal for gathering. Our message is therefore the need of returning to spiritual roots and of coming through a spiritual revival. We recorded the first LP in 2006 - february-may in Romania and sent it to England for the mastering. We didn`t like the mastering, so by september we sent it to Germany to a man who saved the album by remixing it and mastering it - his name is Franky Winkelmann and he plays bass in the famous swiss band GURD. Thank you Franky!!! From this album which was finished this mounth - march 2007 we uploaded 2 tracks - Maria and Sorbul Apelor. The album is called Voievozii (The Voivodes) and we hope we can release it asap.

Howdy!

Just wanted to pop in and give you a heads up on Sommersby's October Competition!

If you haven't already heard, the competition (hot on the heels of his recent neck-in-neck September fiesta) will offer 20 parts for the winner and is open to all artists that have between $9999 and $0 in budget.

Please check the forum for updates on contest rules and regs….starts 25 October!

This is a great opportunity for you. Campaign with the believers to let them know you'd like to be nominated and encourage them to vote for you when the time comes.

Of course, if you'd like to, or you know someone who would like to, donate parts for the prizes in the Competition, just send (or have them send) Sommersby the details under a message marked “October Donation."

Hope you join in on the fun and GOOD LUCK TO YOU!!!!

Quite by chance, I find myself back here, and I find you have added new tracks. Unfortunately, I don't think they are as original as the first I listened to. I also see business is quite slow, and you haven't updated in over a month. A pity. I think if you were more active here, and the newer songs equalled the first, you could attract more believers!

Hey guys!

I liked very much the two new songs you have posted, tough my favourite so far is still Colindul Cerbului. I enjoyed reading about yourselves and the meaning of the band's name. And, as promised, I now am a believer of you. ;) Hope this small contribution can help you on your path that I wish to become a successful one.

Cheers from Brazil!

I agree with the message already posted.

This just popped up on my jukebox.

Highly original sound! I'm intrigued, and want to know more. Also another track or two would be nice. If you have more like this, I want to hear it. ;)
