Cruachan - Folk/Celtic Heavy Metal Band From Ireland

Cruachan are an Irish Celtic Heavy Metal band.

Formed in 1992, Celtic music, history, Paganism and mythology are prominent influences in Cruachan's music, as are the Viking Age and the works of J R R Tolkein.

Cruachan's earlier work mixed a variety of traditional and conventional instruments with Black Metal, but they later developed a more melodic style. However, in December 2008, Cruachan announced that they would be moving towards a "more extreme sound and style!"

Here's a closer look at the music of Cruachan!
