Cruachan were an unknown band for me until I got hold of this release.

Their mix of traditional Irish folk music with classic heavy metal and modern black metal is quite intriguing though, creating some interesting and at times slightly original moods. The contrasts between the lighter, positive vibes of their folk music excursions and the dark, grim moods of the metal and black metal parts of their repertoire are nicely utilized - enhanced by the just as contrasting lead vocals. And most of the songs as a whole are good as well.

Worth checking out for people into Irish folk and metal.
