CRUACHAN: New Studio Photos Posted Online

 

Irish folk metal band CRUACHAN entered Sun Studios in Dublin on January 17 to begin recording their fifth album, tentatively due later in the year via Greece's Black Lotus Records. Check out pictures from the recording sessions : http://cruachan.metalfan.nl/photo_gallery/...ording_main.htm

 

CRUACHAN recorded their previous albums "Tuatha Na Gael", "The Middle Kingdom" and "Folklore" at Sun, which "has been hugely upgraded since we were last there," the band write on their web site. Taking care of production duties is Jo Peeters (a.k.a. GAIL OF GOD) from Holland.

 

CRUACHAN's upcoming album will be their first CD for Black Lotus, with whom they inked a deal in June 2005. The band's final release for their previous label, Karmageddon Media, was scheduled to be a reissue of their 1994 "Celtica" demo, featuring unreleased tracks, including "Timmy", which has been performed live at quite a few CRUACHAN shows.

 

CRUACHAN's fourth full-length album, "Pagan", was recorded and mixed at Radio Na Life Studios in Dublin, Ireland with producer Al Cowen and is the follow-up to 2002's "Folk-Lore". The cover artwork for "Pagan" was created by John Howe, the leading JRR Tolkien illustrator and the conceptual artist from the "Lord of the Rings" movies.

Kako se izgovara Cruachan? Čula sam da mnogi kažu /kruahan/...

Da, oni imaju najmanje black-a i baš se iznenadih kad ih vidjeh na ovoj temi.

Zapravo, oni su kombinacija rock-a i metala, ali sa primjesama nekog tradiconalnoh irskog melosa, mada ima tu i elemenata klasike kao i nekih srednjovjekovnih tonova... black-a? pff...

pod-forum bi svakako bio dobro rijesenje.

 

Vampiria, ja bih rekao da se to izgovara Kruachan (sa nekim jodlujucim slovom ch icon_smile.gif ), mada nije iskljuceno ni kruahan. Inace slusao sam od njih Folk-lore album, sasvim ok za ovaj zanr. Prva pjesma Bloody sunday je odlicna, zanimljiva folkish melodija i opasne gitare + vokal one zenske mi se dopada. Nije po ustaljenom 'operskom' shablonu, vec ima neku melanholicnu crtu (osim na zadnjoj pjesmi, gdje ima dijelova kad podsjeca na Cadaveriu iz Opera IX)

Hm... Pa i ja sam mislila nešto slično. Svakako mi /h/ nešto ne ide, ali s obzirom da ni ne znam sta Cruachan zapravo znači, mogu samo da nagađam.

Pjevačica je meni fenomenalna. Ona je zapravo female folk singer.

pjevacica je odlicna. nije na foru onih iskompleksiranih 'operskih' vristalica, dopada mi se boja njenog glasa.

kakvi su ovi ostali albumi (ja sam slusao samo folk-lore), ovo ostalo mozda po koju pjesmu il sempl.

I ja samo to, pored MKingdom-a.

U svakom slučaju, sve mi se dopada, a naročito njen glas.

Volim kad se ljudi ne plaše eksperimentisanja. icon_da.gif

Ja sam slushao sve njihove albume. Na prvom - Tuatha Na Gael (nemam pojma shta to znachi) ima najvishe black-a, u stvari, taj jedini jeste black album, bez zenskih vokala, sa izuzetnim, dugim pesmama. The Fall Of Gondolin treba da bude proglashena za oficijelnu himnu svih Tolkinovaca. icon_rockdevil.gif

Na mene su sa tog albuma ostavile utisak najvishe druga stvar, i gore spomenuta. Inache taj album je, kao celina, njihov najbolji (na stranu losha produkcija). Kako sam chuo, imali su samo dve nedelje na raspolaganju za njegovo snimanje u studiju, a odradili su ga fenomenalno. icon_rockdevil.gif

CRUACHAN Complete Work On New Album: Audio Samples Available

 

Irish folk metal band CRUACHAN entered Sun Studios in Dublin on January 17 to begin recording their fifth album, tentatively due later in the year via Greece's Black Lotus Records. Vocalist Keith Fay has issued the following update on the recording sessions:

 

"Yes, we have finished the new album. Jesus Christ, the production on 'Pagan' was shite, wasn't it? Glad to say that this is the best production I have ever been involved with, the sound is top top quality! Many thanks to Gail Liebling [producer] for his endurance. The release date has not been sorted, neither has the title but we will work on this [as soon as possible]. Martin Walkyier [ex-SKYCLAD] was meant to sing on it but had to pull out at the last minute due to personal things at home, I had a chat with him, he feels really bad about it but to be honest he has much more important things to worry about right now. The song he was meant to do is called 'Diarmuid and Grainne'. When I hear it now, I actually think I'm glad he couldn't make it, you'll see why. Maybe we will do something in the future. Next project is the CRUACHAN Scat porn DVD."

CRUACHAN's upcoming album will be their first CD for Black Lotus, with whom they inked a deal in June 2005. The band's final release for their previous label, Karmageddon Media, was scheduled to be a reissue of their 1994 "Celtica" demo, featuring unreleased tracks, including "Timmy", which has been performed live at quite a few CRUACHAN shows.

icon_da.gif bash zbog toga su mi omiljeni black metal orijentisani band, mada u poslednje vreme nema toliko black-a kao na prvom. neki im to i zameraju, mada ja nemam nishta protiv toga. ph34r.gif

 

najbolje bi bilo kada bi novi album bio u fazonu folk-lore-a icon_biggrin.gif

...nisam slusao sve albume, ali Cruachan je veoma dobar i interesantan bend...

...As the years went by the people began to talk,

The hidden crimes were now being told.

Innocent protestors - shot in back,

Left to die in the winter cold.

The bullets used had all been tampered,

Maximum injury would come from them.

This tyranny will not go un-noticed,

Our day will come again...

Irish folk metal band CRUACHAN have finished mastering their fifth album, "The Morrigan's Call", tentatively due in June via Greece's Black Lotus Records. The follow-up to 2004's "Pagan" was recorded at Sun Studios in Dublin and will be preceded by the release of a single, "The Very Wild Rover". In addition to the title cut, the single will contain the bonus songs "Bloody Sunday Unplugged", "Timmy" and "Brian Boru".

 

Commented CRUACHAN's Keith Fay (vocals, electric guitar, acoustic guitar, keyboards): "We have had a disaster with the cover of the new album. The cover took my brother John over four months of painstaking work and looked amazing. He had an argument with his girlfriend on Sunday night (26th March) and she unbelievably destroyed all his artwork, including the cover. This might delay the release date although he is planning to take some time off work and complete a brand new cover in under two weeks! Here's hoping he can pull it off and keep it away from his girlfriend!!!"
