Cuélebre seeks inspiration in the roots of the Iberian Peninsula and its mythology, showing votive lyrics based on deities of a pre-Roman origin. With a Celtiberian background universe, the music comes through a compendium of medieval instruments and atmospheric sounds, recreating pre-Christian rituals.

Cuélebre emerges as a Yhandros Huergo's idea in 2011, looking for an archaic sound in the Medieval-Folk.
With a few songs written and recorded as demos begins the search for musicians with whom to carry Cuélebre to live, a long and difficult search due to the poor dissemination of this musical style in Spain.
His influences includes bands like Hagalaz Runedance, Corvus Corax or Wardruna, but always looking forward to maintain a unique sound and identity.
Finally in mid-2013 the group is finally complete and initiates rehearsals and testing for the album, which is released in May 2014 on a limited six-panel digipack and also in June 9th under Art Gates Records as a jewel case.

Wikipedia erklärt, der Cuélebre sei ein „riesiger, geflügelter, schlangenähnlicher Drache aus der asturischen und kantabrischen Mythologie. Er lebt in Höhlen, bewacht darin Schätze und hält Xana, die Quellnymphe aus den Bergen Nordspaniens als Gefangene.“ Nach diesem Drachen benannte sich die spanische Folkband, die sich seit ihrem ersten Album im Jahr 2013 auf die internationalen Bühnen spielen – im September kommen sie zum Festival Mediaval.
Die Band mischt archaische Töne, mittelalterliche Instrumente und rituelle Atmosphäre, inspirieren lassen sich die Bandmitglieder von ihren Wurzeln in der iberischen Peninsula und ihrer Mythologie. Ihre Lyrik nutzt Weihungen alter, Götter aus der vorrömischen Zeit.
