Celtachor - Nine Waves from the Shore

Formed in 2007, Celtachor roots from Dublin, Ireland. A five piece ensemble with many talents fused to create some intense, deep and well thought out arrangements of Irish Blackened Folk metal. At the moment listening to their album on Celtachor Bandcamp. This is a pleasant surprise for me as the first track The Landing Of Amergin takes me into these musical escapes. The thing that captures my attention is the use of the flute or whistle as its stated on the bands site. It is well placed and fits the other instruments very well. The Battle of Tailtin emerges you in a war like atmosphere, like an ancient fight of intense proportions, if I knew something about Irish mythology I could elaborate further but I do not, so I will go based on my musical instincts and the lyrics that are provided. The Kingship of Bodb Dearg, an enchanting alluring composition, with so many different instruments you have to admire the production quality as everything is clear and well balanced through out. Sorrow of The Dagda, with clean acoustical precision beautifully arranged to come into this opus topping at almost 11 minutes and never a dull moment. An intriguing tale of murder a sorrowful journey of father and son, it keeps the listener intent with intrigue. Tar eis an Sihed, this track is probably my favorite, an instrumental of vast escape, a musical road for your mind to paint, the guitars and whistle fused in perpetual artistry, its is amazing to say the least. Conn of the Hundred Battles, unleashing the fury of ancient armies the drums storm in, the guitars create some very interesting harmonies on this song. Anann Ernmas Daughter, is the last song, its fast and brutal, fitting as this track is about the Goddess of Battle- Anann. This album has many layers to indulge any listener and much more if you take the time to read the lyrics, very involved in the content of the stories and fits perfectly in conjunction with their style. I highly recommend this album as there is much to explore in Celtachor.

Exclusive interview with Spektrvm

Image
Greetings and please give a warm welcome to Spektrvm 1- Hello and welcome to Metal Music Midwest, first off, thanks for taking the time to do the interview, could you give our readers a brief description of the group? Where is the band from? The music of Greek metal group Spektrvm (pronounced ‘Spectrum’) spreads wide across the chromatic political, religious and many other themes. We are 5 different people, with 5 different musical tastes, and that always makes it interesting to see where the mix of ideas and styles will take us.   2- "Blood For Heaven" is the band's first full album, how long did it take to write? Ideas for the album had been forming since the early days it was formed back in 2016, but when we actually decided to write songs and create an almost concept album, the first half took about a year to form, and the other 5 songs, a little less than that. The songs were being tweaked up until the day of their final recording in 2020. Some changes were even made

Was there a point early in you life that sparked your interest? Well… once I thought it would be a great idea to have some new profile pictures. So I went out to a cemetery with a good friend of mine to make some photographs. I soon recognized that it was great fun to pose and to “play” with the scenery. That’s why I’ve registered myself in a German model community and soon I got some offers for shootings. And here we are!   Model: Nox Misery- Make up & Styling: Nox Misery- Photographer: Maschka- © Nox Misery, Maschka 2- Your style is in underground, goth, and metal, was there an event or moment that made you decide on this style?
