Band Name : Skiltron
Country : Argentina
Genre : Power/Folk Metal
The roots of this band date back to the year 1997, when Emilio and Matias formed a 4 member band named Century. This project became of lesser importance when both joined Feanor, and was finally postponed in 2001 when the two musicians became full members of this band. The year 2004 saw the re-awakening and continuation of the project and furthermore a name change from Century to Skiltron.
A skiltron, also schiltron or schiltrom, is a group of men carrying pikes and polearms held in front of them to fight off approaching cavalry. In the First War of Scottish Independence, the Battle Bannockburn was won by the Scots using an offensive variation of this military formation. This modified tactic was a response to the crushing defeat that resulted from the skiltron's traditional defensive use in the Battle of Falkirk sixteen years earlier.
Bagpipe player Pablo Allen also took over woodwind duties when Diego Spinelli left Skiltron.
Skiltron have made their first two albums available for free download through Don't Pay Music.
Keeping with the band's affiliation for Scottish history, they contributed the song "The Ballad of William Kidd" to the Running Wild tribute: "Reunation - A Tribute to Running Wild".
