i don't think the audience knew what hit em after all those pop\soul\jazz ap songs. here comes a freight train of irish trad noise core straight out of hell.
I was happy enough just being blown away by something unnamed, but "a freight train of Irish trad noise core straight out of hell" is better than anything I could come up with.
This woman is just one of a kind she was born to sing, just amazing the whole song and band too. This is real music! A treat for the ears and the soul thank you Lankum!!!
Christ on a bike, that hits like a truck. How do you achieve total metalness while carefully avoiding any of the ingredients? Whatever it is, it's in the favourites list now.
Yep, it's definitely on stage. I've seen a hurdy gurdy on other live footage of Lankum too. First time I saw one played was by Jem Finer of The Pogues back in 1988 or 1989.
The starkly minimalist instrumentalism contrasts beautifully with the pitch-perfect vocals. Gorgeous. Love how the yipping and "g'wan" of the crowd is so swiftly silenced by the terrible beauty of the song.
Ah well I think they knew they were going to lose ..this style this genre is not popular and people just want ... easy cheap stuff ..but this TRULY won ..because its the best.
Incredible voice and sound. There is a lot of overlap in the lyrics and melody with another traditional song 'The Butcher's Boy', recorded by Natalie Merchant a few years ago.
Such pride, love, heartache and unrelenting punk-trad vibes. I cannot fully explain what Lankum does to me as an Irish person. I can only say it awakens the bones of my ancestors who used to be King's and Queen's of Ireland (I am a direct descendent, clan Mac Giolla Phádraig, Kingdom of Osraige/Leinster/Ireland). Síocháin a deartháireacha agus deirfiúracha. I love our people and it has always been our Island. Thank you Lankum, you are forever in my heart. Big love to all X
@@gavinw3277in Ireland, royalty wasn’t the same as it was in the UK. Everybody was a member of a clann, a tribe, a kingdom or another community structure and hence everybody is descended from what would in other European nations be described as royalty. The pre-colonial societal structure was such that you could be born to a chieftain and throughout your life have experience of being a chieftain yourself, a slave, a farmer, a beekeeper, a judge, back to being a slave, back to being a chieftain and a myriad of other things before you died. The society was hierarchical but it wasn’t prescriptive. You didn’t have to be related to a chieftain to be of his clann. I know that difficult to comprehend when compared with the very strict hierarchies of later systems… but it worked, it was the longest lived legal system humanity has ever known. It’s structures meant that all would-be invaders ended up just joining in the fun, it’s why the only way the English could conquer Ireland was to do away with the system all together.
@@anfearaerachthe OP isn’t claiming to be descended from a specific individual. By now, we all share at least one common ancestor about 400 years ago, at least one but certainly several others.
All of that being said, I think the idea of obsessing over what or who we’re directly descended from is a bit post-colonial… it doesn’t really matter. If you’re Irish then you’re Irish. Real Irish people don’t ask for credentials.

I don't think they could grasp the weight their music brings

"Having a nice evening you folks ? alright, let's break the mood a little then."
I heard someone describe this as “Doom Folk” and it couldn’t be more perfect
This is how they describe their music themselves.
Radie's voice is from the otherworld
Jesus, her pitch is just spot on, not to even mention her tone. I need to listen to more Lankum
no video does her voice justice imo, it sounds absolutely incredible live and gets under your skin in an almost violent way
This woman is just one of a kind she was born to sing, just amazing the whole song and band too. This is real music! A treat for the ears and the soul thank you Lankum!!!
That ending though!!!
Never saw it coming
Radie your still the goddess of my soul
Saw these guys live for the first time this year. No recording does this song justice. Goosebumps.
for me the winners
That sent shivers down my spine
Ive been a mess since I heard this for the first time yesterday. This is my grandmother and everything she ever taught me. Now im so homesick ❤❤
Deserved to win it.
Won with me
Perhaps they were too weird for the judges...too bad for the judges

It's unreal. It has a heavy rock feel like Sabbath's "War Pigs" but, like you say without the usual mix of instruments etc.
This is based on a trad Irish She Moved through the Fair.
It's the lack of light and the cloths and makeup 💄
@@neocallimastix Folkies' sense of natural.
You should here the full version
I can't believe they didn't win
Landan in'it.
Radies voice is stunning and haunting
F***ing love this band
Just amazing. Should have won
Everytime I hear their music it puts me in a trance
This is perfect. In every way.
saw them live at roadburn, goosebumps the whole concert, and they have a great humor too
F*ckin hell lads, absolutely savage stuff
belle découverte Bravo au groupe
Deadly.
My head and feet 💚💚💚
Fookin awesome. My God, this is so good!!
Fucking love this band
Wunderschön ❤. Greetings from Germany
Thought it was a hurdy gurdy in the official video mix! Great to see what I think is one on stage. Breathtaking.

Best thing I’ve heard since the pogues version of the parting glass,hozier ai gong shrike or Luke jelly raglan road
incredible
Spine-chilling! A perfectly-judged slow burn that delivers to the very end.
as the guardian said, more like an ''exorcism'',
This is just so just hauntingly beautiful
Intense, Immense
chomh milis le mil agus chomh garbh le gaineamh - iontach lads!
She is singing the Dublin Sean Nós style. ... the regional one not the national one ..its amazing.
Absolutely unreal!!!
Holy shit!
I'm not even drunk yet but Lankum put me in the zone.
The starkly minimalist instrumentalism contrasts beautifully with the pitch-perfect vocals. Gorgeous. Love how the yipping and "g'wan" of the crowd is so swiftly silenced by the terrible beauty of the song.
drone at its best!
Brilliant
Crushing
Nothing like a little dose of Black 47 Irish reality to bring everyone back to earth.
Magnífico!
Long time to hold the emotion
The foot stomp being miced up is awesome.
Sublime.
Great music from the isles that surround us !
Radie's vouce is perfect.
They should have won :(

these are variants of the same ballad!
@@orvillesash Well, yes. That is what I was trying to say.
Where’s the other five minutes 😢

Funny how everyone is descended from royalty, isn't it.
@@gavinw3277no one ever descends from Caoimhín the tanner from down the street, it seems

This hits like a ton of bricks. Unbelievable
does anyone know what kind of stomp box the fiddler is playing at 0:43?
Was this on a Friday night?
welcome to the club of dub
The Irish are an ancient people and they can channel it
Were is Nick Cave?
If Swans were an Irish band...
they’re often cited as a big influence in interviews with the band !
Irish music killing it right now - Lord knows what coke heads in audience thought of this. Hope they had a pleasant evening.
