Negură Bunget was active as Wiccan Rede from 1994-1995 (as Wiccan Rede). Afther this the band is known as Negură Bunget, a black metal band from Timișoara, Romania whose atmospheric sound incorporated elements of progressive metal and Romanian folk music.
Negură Bunget’s history is pretty divisive in its lineup changes. Initially formed as Wiccan Rede in 1994 before morphing into Negură Bunget as a duo of Negru and Huppogramos. Sol Faur then joined the ranks in 1998 to create the “classic” trio that would release the “classic” albums. This lineup would dissolve in 2009 and Huppogramos and Sol Faur would go on to form Dordeduh, while Negru would recruit a new lineup to continue the Negură Bunget name. That lineup would implode a bunch of times too, but would reach a pretty stable form in 2013. Negru would embark on creating a “Transylvanian Trilogy” and release two of those with said lineup before passing away in 2017. The remaining lineup recorded the final album in the trilogy based on demos left over.
Negură Bunget was responsible for the start of the folk-metal scene in Romania.
