Not a lot of metal coming out of Ireland. I love the fact that these guys have managed to blend a definite Celtic feel to the blackened doom metal they produce. You can just feel that this music is channeling the vibes of the ancient tribes that inhabited the island. This album will pair nicely with yesterday’s pick in that it is the perfect soundtrack for a dreary winter’s day. Songs of woe are the order of the day.
