Artist: CRUACHAN
Album: "BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD LTD. EDIT. (DIGI)"

Year: 2014
Media type: CD

CRUACHAN’s first album for Trollzorn carries on the ‘blood’ trilogy begun with 2011’s ‘Blood On The Black Robe’, a record, which saw the band return to their black metal roots for inspiration. Keith Fay said ‘Blood For The Blood God’ is CRUACHAN’s most aggressive and diverse album to date, but it still comes infused with all the traditional folk elements fans have come to expect: ‘Blood, sweat and tears have gone into this record, but, as I’m sure the fans will agree, it’s all been worth it. As we said before, ‘Blood On The Black Robe’ was our ‘statement of intent’ and Blood For The Blood God is a natural progression from there. We think it will surprise a lot of people in terms of sheer heaviness and songwriting.’ ‘There’s more to folk metal than drinking songs and pop choruses. We feel ‘Blood For The Blood God’, while driving the genre forward, also harks back to its roots. These are epic songs, sometimes dark and sinister, sometimes symphonic and bombastic, all the while underscored by our ownceltic-folk-influences.

2014 has been one of CRUACHAN’s most successful years to date with shows in Russia, Ukraine and Israel, among others, and 2015 is looking to be just as big with a European tour and festival dates already being planned.
