Belenos was brought to life as a one-man-band by Loïc Cellier in 1995 . Influenced by the early black metal scene of Norway , the music of the band always was and remains a mix of black and pagan metal with Celtic choirs . The original line-up consisted of Loïc ( guitars , bass , vocals , programming ) and Nathalie ( guitars , lyrics ) . After releasing three demo tapes ( in 1996 , 1998 and 1999 ) Belenos turned into a full band and began to play live . The first live appearance took place in Lille , October 1999 as an opening act for Marduk and Enthroned . Yann Desaulty on bass was replaced by David Foulon , as well as Raphael Fontaine left the band due to a lack of motivation . In August 2000 the band signed with Sacral Productions and released the first full album '' Errances oniriques '' in March 2001 . After a couple live performances Belenos recorded their second album '' Spicilège '' with the new drummer Marc Devillers , since Denis Sokowicz had been fired . The album was released again on Sacral Productions . The same year Marc Devillers was replaced by Gilles Delecroix . In 2004 Sacral Productions released a 2-CD demo compilation '' L'ancien temps '' . By the end of 2004 Belenos became a one-man-band and stopped all live activities
