Aneirin was a post-hardcore band from Frederick, Maryland, United States. Hailing from the state of Maryland, a place better known for its contributions to agriculture rather than music, the members of Aneirin have been storming down a path paved by their own honesty, sacrifice, and perseverance. Their engaging live shows and unique sound has left a memorable impression on many listeners.

Quotes

  • Three hundred men hastened forth, wearing gold torques, defending the land – and there was slaughter. Though they were slain they slew, and they shall be honoured to the end of the world; and of all us kinsmen who went, alas, but for one man none escaped.
  • From the retinue of Mynyddog they hastened forth; in a shining array they fed together round the wine-vessel. My heart has become full of grief for the feast of Mynyddog, I have lost too many of my true kinsmen.
  • He glutted black ravens on the rampart of the stronghold, though he was no Arthur.
  • The men went to Catraeth, swift was their host, the pale mead was their feast and it was their poison.

Aneirin, Aneurin o Neirin ap Dwywei (525 circa – 600 circa), è stato un poeta britanno, un bardo che sarebbe vissuto in uno dei regni nati dalla disgregazione dell'Y Gogledd Hen (Il Vecchio Nord). Sua madre, Dwywei, è menzionata nei suoi poemi. Potrebbe essere la stessa donna che andò in sposa a Dunaut Bwr, sovrano delPennines. Scrisse in , una lingua molto simile al gallese antico, da cui discende . La sua poesia è conservata in un manoscritto del XIII secolo (ca.1265), conosciuto come Libro di Aneirin, che però presenta un linguaggio parzialmente modernizzato nel gallese medio. Il suo lavoro più conosciuto è lo Y Gododdin, è un poema composto da 99 elegie, che celebrano gli uomini del regno di Gododdin che caddero combattendo contro gli anglosassoni nella battaglia di Catraeth, forse Catterick, nello Yorkshire (ca.603). Si pensa che in una delle elegie sia contenuto il riferimento più antico a re Artù, al cui coraggio è paragonato quello di un guerriero caduto in battaglia. Si pensa che Aneirin abbia combattuto in questo scontro, in cui sarebbe stato fatto prigioniero. Lo studioso Thomas Stephens (1821-1875) identificava Catraeth con , nel (Roxburghshire), mentre, invece, qui va individuato il sito della battaglia di Degsastan. Si pensa anche che il poeta fosse figlio di Gildas, storico del VI secolo (ipotesi per la quale non ci sono prove). La prima edizione attestata era Canu Aneirin di Sir con note in gallese, pubblicata nel 1938.
