Style: mesmerizing dramatic epic pagan metal
highly impressive seventh longplay [2011] by Irish pagan metal heroes continues with the similarly dramatic vibe that its predecessor To The Nameless Dead has left off, where Nemtheanga's unique voice sounds like a wizard's prophecy, who calls storms to blast his tribe's enemies off an ancient battlefield, while O'Laoghaire's hypnotizing drumming thunders forward more like a tribal percussion or war drums - such a charismatic formula is well familiar from their past catalog, yet it works bloody great as always, adding one more essential set of trademark mesmerism that also has a fair share of the band's black metal roots; recent German gatefold sleeve double black 180g vinyl edition comes with a pro-printed lyric insert
