Album Description
Available in:
"Blood for the Blood God" is the seventh studio album by Irish Celtic metal band Cruachan. It was released December 5, 2014 on Trollzorn Records.
User Album Review
Coming into this ordeal knowing that Cruachan used to be a Black Metal act under the name Minas Tirith, I was not really prepared, despite how much I thought I was. Blood for the Blood God was introduced to me as a Folk Metal album with strong Black Metal roots. What I found was more akin to a purebreed Folk Metal release with a few tweaks along the way to give it a slightly blackened feel.
That being said, Irish six-piece Cruachan have still managed to create one hell of an album, one that seem to be ridiculously detailed, even for a concept album. Blood for the Blood God is the second part of a planned trilogy that contains several stories and myths pertaining to Celtic history, delivered in a classical Folk Metal fashion (which includes several Folk instruments; in this case an Irish bagpipe, flutes, whistles and violins). All in all, Cruachan has created a record that fits in perfectly with what you would expect from such a release: It has an epic build-up of lyrics and guitar solos, yet created around a very easy-listenable and catchy frame, which goes for all of the many impressively played instruments.
All in all, it is a good drinking album (which, to be honest, is what I expect to get when I put on a good Folk Metal album). And, as an added treat for the old fans, they put on a bonus track: a remastered version of their song ”Pagan”.
