CRUACHAN - CELTICA (Demo 1994)

by CRUACHAN

Sagoth thumbnail
Sagoth Raw and lo-fi black metal with heavy celtic influences.
With trolish shrikes, deep growls, pagan chats, flutes, pipes, buzuki and much more, Cruchan recorded one of the best Demos I've heard. Usually I'm not into folky (usually) cheesy metal, but here, with the murky and raw production, Cruchan manage to maintain the Black metal as the core of the album, and not vice versa. dont get me wrong, the demo has its flaws, but for a first recording from '94 - you can't ask for more.
Buy it! Favorite track: To Moytura We Return.

Thanks to Keith Fay for giving me permission
to upload the demo to the Archive.

........................................................

Some versions alternately feature "Tir no Bréagagh" in place of "Scéal Na Fianna" (both performed live)

F.M.C.D.A.C.A.K.A.F.G.H. reportedly stands for;
"Finn Mac Cumhaill Drove a Car and Killed a Few Grunge Heads"

"The voyage of Bran" is a slower early version of "The Children of Lir" from the "Folk-Lore" album.

Also included here is a rehearsal recording of the track Cúchulainn (The Hound Of Culann) from 1995.
