Year: 1995

1. I Am Tuan

6. Taín Bó Cuailgne
7. To Invoke The Horned God

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.

13. Stenka Na Stenku
14. Zimushka

6th album by Arkona. One will find gloomy elegies, grim anthems, acoustic meditations, deafening headbangers, but above all more metal. Arkona borrow at different times elements from doom, symphonic, groove, nor do they forget their black metal roots. The whole atmosphere is strengthened by academical choir, chamber orchestra and excellent guest musicians from the folk/pagan metal scene.
