This is the third and final part of the 'Blood' trilogy. From black metal influences, to classic heavy metal, hard rock, folk and Celtic music, you can expect everything from this album, which is filled with melody and aggression in equally balanced parts. The group delivers once again heavy riffing, without overshadowing the folk elements, with many melodic parts and strong medieval feeling.

Cruachan - The Middle Kingdom

Genre: Heavy/Folk
Country: Ireland
Year: 2000

1. A Celtic Mourning
2. Celtica (Voice Of The Morrigan)

9. Unstabled (Steeds Of Macha)
10. The Butterfly

2nd album by Cruachan. After an impressive debut of black/folk metal, this one was rather a disappointment for the blacksters. Here, the black metal moments are rare and a more simpler heavy/folk approach conquers. Nevertheless, this is a solid album, with nice guitarwork, active celtic music and a full use of folk instruments.

7. Primeval Odium
8. The Voyage Of Bran
9. Brian Boru’s March
10. Pagan Hate
11. The Nine Year War

6th album by Cruachan. It is a deliberate step backwards to their roots, but still contains enough influences and various instruments used in their previous works. It has its moments of extremity, moments of melody, of heaviness and plenty of Celtic folk music. Keith Fay remains as the main singer of the band after the departure of Karen Gilligan and lyrics of the album are written and sang totally in English language.

4. Fall Of Gondolin
5. Cúchulainn
6. Taín Bó Cuailgne
7. To Invoke The Horned God
8. Brian Boru
9. To Moytura We Return

Debut album by Cruachan, that shreds more than the rest of their albums! One of the first albums that mixes black metal with folk/celtic melodies and tunes. It is more in the lines of black metal with folk elements, somehow justifying a pretty crude production. Most of the songs are really memorable and in my opinion they never managed to overpass the success of their debut.
