CRUACHAN - THE HARP, THE LION, THE DRAGON AND THE SWORD | TROLLZORN

25 years anniversary of Irish Folk Metal Legends Cruachan, will be celebrated with their new Masterpiece "NINE YEARS OF BLOOD" which will be released on the 27.04.2018 through Trollzorn Records.
"Nine Years of Blood" will be available as a ltd. Boxset, ltd. Gatefold LP, DigiCD and as a digital download as well.
More news will be announced soon !
These Irish real characters are known not only as absolutely undeterred and courageously pugnacious pioneers of the genre Celtic Folk Black Metal. But even after such a long time still wonderfully wild CRUACHAN are quite rightly estimated as real exceptional performers. Since 1992, the militant heathen horde around founding member, guitarist and screamer Keith Fay is at the start. So what has been going on for more than a quarter of a century, as angry as it is folkloric playful, is allowed to mature and become better as noble mead. You can convince yourself of this with the new and eighth album „Nine Years Of Blood”.

Hope you like the song, here are the lyrics:
The Harp, The Lion, The Dragon and The Sword
The harp, the lion, the dragon and sword, a unity of death,
Upon the banners present in the growing English threat.
The Earl of Essex finished, Mountjoy would lead the way,
He won the Queens favour her message he would convey.
With his two lieutenants -Chichester and Carew,
Mountjoy would change the course of war , an end was now in view.
But not before an epic task - Rebellion in the south!
His forces were dispatched to stamp the bloody rebellion out!
MacCarthy and Carew reached an accord regarding Munster,
A neutral stance was taken by the cowardly Gaelic leader.
The forces of the crown could then focus on Fitzthomas,
The main rebel leader fought with all his might and valour.
The forces of Carew attacked Fitzthomas with such strength,
They killed twelve hundred rebels bringing an end to their dissent.
Fitzthomas, he was captured, to London he was bound,
The rebellion in Munster now an empty battleground.

4:05 starts a typical Iron Maiden riff we desperately miss but it is actually that is a great Irish folk theme. One of the best album of the year.
