A thread dedicated to Irish metal, news, new releases, old releases.
Some fantastic Irish metal releases in late 2022. Really loving the new Eternal Helcaraxe album "Drown in Ash". Also Nomadus from up north 'Apex Primordial " is well worth a spin.
Imperial Demonic LP coming out soon.

Knocking great value out of Strangle Wires second album - The Shape Of Human Frailty, here the last few weeks. great pummeling death metal.
Any fear Apostate Viaticum would put out a second album? Their first - Before The Gates Of Gomorrah, is fucking brilliant.
A full length from Ten Ton Slug would also go down a treat.
That Strangle Wire album is deadly, alright. No bullshit DM.
Doubt Apostate Viaticum will make a comeback.
Ten Ton Slug are recording a full length at the moment, though.
Nice one man, thanks for the info.
I'll be all over that Ten Ton Slug album.
A full length from Grey Stag would also hit the spot nicely.
I think they're working on one, aren't they. I think Slung From A Tree are announcing an album/E.P. during the week, Rodge is dropping hints through Cursed Monk.
Grey Stag are doing album launch shows in March.
Ten Ton Slug are recording at the moment (judging by their FB).
So ye'll have something good there soon no doubt.
Slung From A Tree have a teaser on the go for an announcement Wednesday, should be something good.
Tooms demoing some things for a release (had a little clip on IG).
There's definitely more, I'll pop them in here as I see them or remember otherwise lol.
Ourselves (Third Island) finishing an EP if that's any interest to ye too. Meself and Astfgyl have ANTIHUMAN resurrected but ye will be waiting a few months to see the results of that too.
Raum Kingdom have a new release that seems to be going down very well - I haven't listened to it yet but will be on it soon, loved their last few releases.
Dark Matter have an EP out since last month that's excellent, "Phobos/Monolyth", recommended if you enjoyed their earlier stuff.
Molarbear's "You Will Need Gods" out recently too, serious stuff, straight in for the kill riffs and ridiculously catchy metal.
Some great stuff there lads, Molarbear very cool, I like Raum Kingdom too. Listened to the Strangle Wire album over the weekend, pretty relentless DM.
Never heard of Strangle Wire until I saw them announced for the recent Defeated Sanity/Malignancy US tour. Savage tour for them.
Molarbear are mighty alright, good craic.

They're well worth seeing, deliver the goods big time live
Imperial Demonic are fairly nailing that sound. I can hear CoF in the mix. I hope there's a little more variation in tempo across the rest of the album as endless blasts lose me, but it sounds accomplished.
There's no blasts in the first tune.
Would love a few solos given the style of it but great stuff anyway.
New Slung From A Tree song, album out in the summer:
https://youtu.be/V8kbLtDmJMc
Think I saw the name before but never listened to them. That's cool.
Seen them live countless times, they're very good, looking forward to the album.

Got an email for this the other day, too.
Any link to check out the music available at all?
The fact that there is a song called cunts means this has to be like a hammer up the hole and a brick to the face.
Sometimes shouting cunt at somebody is better than any therapy.
I hope it's good.

:laugh: Who?
Can't say I'm instilled with hope by the name and song titles but solid influences so will check it out.
Same as that. The band name and song titles are awful but I'm hoping the sound is closer to the mark.
Is there any other info on that record - who's involved etc - with those titles I'm still convinced it's a joke.
Only reference to it online is a deleted post on Reddit from 4 days ago. I'm guessing this is someone with a chip on their shoulder.
Cover looks like an MS paint logo inserted onto a Google image

I'd say you could be on the money. The weird near parody of Transcending Obscurity was the first alarm bell.
It's a gag... dig... whatever way you want to look at at it.
Despondent Soul behind this I reckon for numerous reasons, e.g. former band as track 9).
Incorrect Brian. Quite the opposite.
It is a slice of self-gratifying shithousery brought to you by darragh from Invictus. Very bizarre behaviour altogether👍🤘
Quote from: Despondent_Soul2 on February 14, 2023, 10:57:37 PMIncorrect Brian.
Sincere apologies then, my bad!
Band sounds like my thing anyway, hope it's true :)
Just listening to the Grey Stag album Here.
Ah lads, its a fucking monster!
Are Terminus still going? The first album was great, Psychohistorians is ones of the best metal songs to come from this country I reckon.

Came out in March I think man, its their first full length.
I saw Grey Stag at the Siege last Halloween. Highly enjoyable, must check out the album.
I thought they were a poor man's Mastodon TBH. But good luck to them anyway.
Listened to the album last night. A lot of it is really great, couple of passages are genuinely weak, and overall, yeah, their seemingly one and only influence is worn a little too blatantly on their sleeve, right down to the song titles. A band to keep an ear out for though, if they can strike off and mark out a path of their own.
fuck me!, I actually pretty much agree with BSC on something, thats a first.
I think there's massive potential there.
I don't think its fair to write them off as a "poor mans Mastodon", they do have their own thing going on too like.
Sure if we all took that attitude we would say, (enter modern death/black metal band name here) is just a poor mans (enter old-school death/black metal band name here), nothing new would have any value and we'd all just listen to Death and Venom and poo-poo all newcomers.
Anyway, I think its a banger of an album, fair fucks to them.
Yeah the album is decent and I saw the lads on the release show in Limerick for it, they were in excellent form and are great live too.

Went to their gig last Friday at Fibbers without any expectations as I was craving for raw blastbeats and enjoyed them a lot. Dark Funeral influence is very obvious which might or might not be everyone's cup of tea but they delivered it 100%. Also first time at Fibbers in like 15 years and despite everyone saying it turned into shithole, I found it clean and well organized. Ticket at the door (doesn't exist anymore for Dublin gigs post covid), for a tenner for 3 bands (???), small venue, only about half full which is even rarer these days, pretty much top quality headliner... Couldn't ask for more, full mid-late 00's experience. Also the majority of audience despite being quite young overall was very engaged with the performance which was great to see.
Quote from: son of the Morrigan on May 05, 2023, 12:28:00 PMSure if we all took that attitude we would say, (enter modern death/black metal band name here) is just a poor mans (enter old-school death/black metal band name here), nothing new would have any value and we'd all just listen to Death and Venom and poo-poo all newcomers.
I think there's a bit of a difference with the death/black comparisons.those are fairly wide ranging sub-genres, whereas Mastodon, love them or loathe them, have always been a fairly unique entity in metal. I would have dismissed Grey Stag on the same basis, as the influences are worn a bit too blatantly on their sleeves, but that said I wouldn't have any issue being proved wrong. By the same token, if we're talking about DM etc, I have no real need to listen to Gruesome when I can just listen to Death instead.

By the same token, if we're talking about DM etc, I have no real need to listen to Gruesome when I can just listen to Death instead.
I think one of the best explanations I've heard for metal reaching a creative cul de sac, is that every possible chapter has already been mapped out so bands now go and fill in the blank pages. Gruesome are obviously total Death fan fiction, and that's fine by me. I'm not listening to them for innovation and reinvention of a genre but as more of something that I already love. It works because they are completely open and honest about it.
Well yeah, I suppose in fairness to Gruesome they're pretty much upfront about being a Death tribute. Maybe Grey Stag come across as being more derivative, given that they present as a Mastodon clone without explicitly acknowledging this. I dunno, I could be doing them a disservice here. I haven't checked out their stuff in enough depth and maybe I'm just going on a gut reaction.

Just the idea popped into my head to have a thread dedicated to Irish releases then I saw this thread so might be useful for some to know what's been released etc in case things were missed. Will do a post monthly for August onwards next month. If I've missed anything feel free to post it up and I'll add it to the list. Will post bandcamp first, if none I'll throw down the Spotify link. Going to stick to demos/EPs/albums only.

All these Hollywood Mayhem posts piqued my interest, actually was pretty good. Straight up and cool vocals. Can I ask - is there a story behind the name? I expected a glam band or something I think ha ha.
Weird yeah. I would never have listened to them with that name and what an awful logo to go with it. Just really bad decision making there. The song Witch sounds pretty good in a Black N Roll sort of way.

Atlantic - Timeworn (Album)
https://atlantic-music.bandcamp.com/album/timeworn
I only came across this now thanks to a write up on Angry Metal Guy. Really liking this :abbath:
I'll sit down next week and do up mine properly now that I am managing to catch up on some stuff I missed. Here's one from Ninehertz with a few good recommendations in there. The Smote album is up on my own list: https://www.ninehertz.co.uk/viewitem/5641
Be sure to put your AOTY list in the proper thread ;)
We put out this EP back in August.

He's a talented guy.
Both Atlantic and Foothill Roots stuff is excellent. 👌
Nice one, will give them a lash later on.
Remember seeing this one listed here before but let it slip my by, till I spotted in my Bandcamp wishlist earlier.

Really like how that Dratna album sounds
I bet this makes a few of you feel old now! :laugh: Screenshot_20260123_164926_Facebook.jpg
Can't say im a diehard fan but this was a big one at the time!
That's the reissue. I have the one that came out in 2000 with the more basic artwork. So I feel even older!
"Released.....through Bron" :) :eyeroll:
Gave the new Froon (For Ruin) album a go on bandcamp this morning on the way to work.
Sounds great, as expected.
This one and the last album have been excellent.
