Style: melancholic painful epic pagan metal
far from the newbie in expressive pagan metal scene, with time Irish supergroup has become more potent in their twisted musical whirlwinds and inspiring lyrical call-to-arms, thus the fifth studio longplay has turned into their emotionally strongest achievement at that point: epic, tragic and plain unique experience with a heavily melancholic aura is also more focused and tightened at what they enjoy doing most, regardless that it may trespass the alleged stylistic frames here and there; Billy Anderson's [Neurosis, Brutal Truth] mix and engineering provides the urgent raw edge to music as well, while the monumental The Coffin Ships has immediately turned into nowadays' uniting hymn that ultimately epitomizes the tragedy of Irish nation
