Haggis is a savoury pudding containing sheep's pluck (heart, liver and lungs); minced with onion, oatmeal, suet, spices, and salt, mixed with stock, traditionally encased in the animal's stomach though now often in an artificial casing instead. According to the 2001 English edition of the Larousse Gastronomique: "Although its description is not immediately appealing, haggis has an excellent nutty texture and delicious savoury flavour".
It is believed that food similar to haggis (though not so named), perishable offal quickly cooked inside an animal's stomach, all conveniently available after a hunt, was eaten from ancient times.
Although the name "hagws" or "hagese" was first used in England c. 1430, the dish came to be considered traditionally Scottish, even the national dish, as a result of Scots poet Robert Burns' poem Address to a Haggis of 1787. Haggis is traditionally served with "neeps and tatties", boiled and mashed separately, and a dram (a glass of Scotch whisky), especially as the main course of a Burns supper.
Enter the Haggis is a Canadian Celtic rock band based in Toronto. The band was founded in 1995 by Craig Downie, the only remaining original member in the lineup. The band currently consists of Downie (highland bagpipes, vocals), Brian Buchanan (vocals, fiddle, guitar), Trevor Lewington (vocals, guitar), Mark Abraham (bass), and Bruce McCarthy (drums). Their eighth and latest studio album Penny Black was released in 2014 under the Jubilee Riots name.
Craig Downie was born in Scotland and raised in Canada. He started playing bagpipes when he joined a pipe band at 12 years old. After pursuing an acting career in the early 1990s, Downie formed Enter the Haggis in Toronto in 1995 shortly before the band's first performance. The name was chosen as a humorous reference to the 1973 kung-fu film Enter the Dragon.
The band's first release Let the Wind Blow High was released in 1998 on Rel Records. This was followed by Aerials in 2002, which was the first studio release with the lineup consisting of Downie, Buchanan, Lewington, Abraham, and drummer James Campbell. This lineup would remain unchanged until Campbell's departure in 2010.

Plot: British Army radiation drills at a remote Scottish base attract a subterranean, radioactive entity of unknown nature that vanishes, leaving two severely radiation-burned soldiers... and a "bottomless" crack in the earth. Others who meet the thing in the night suffer likewise, and with increasing severity; it seems to be able to "absorb" radiation from any source, growing bigger and bigger. What is it?? How do you destroy a thing that "feeds" on energy?

profundas fosas de dolor
abadonaron mi tierra sembrando al que mato su voz
Y veo sin mirar
creo poder escapar
solo protejo "nunca mas"
Me veo sumergido en aguas trubias que vomitan la indecencia
de aquel que me traiciono
las balas que penetran y se hunden son devueltas en
palabras que persiguen al que asesino
Vidas apedreadas
entre edifique
abandonado a mi suerte
hijos de un rumbo sin redencion
Y veo sin mirar
creo poder escapar
solo protejo "nunca mas"
Me veo sumergido en aguas trubias que vomitan la indecencia
de aquel que me traiciono
las balas que penetran y se hunden son devueltas en
palabras que persiguen al que asesino
Abro mis venas, sangra mi alma, como tu voz
Me veo sumergido en aguas trubias que vomitan la indecencia
de aquel que me traiciono
las balas que penetran y se hunden son devueltas en
palabras que persiguen al que asesino
Recuerdo tu sarcasmo
me invade todo tu poder
