Sounds good. Bit of a different buzz to the demo if I remember correctly. I'll grab a copy when it's released. Joe's artwork looks great too. What's the story with the drums? Are the programmed or is the drummer just too kvlt for school ;) ?
Cheers for checking it out Eoin.
I definitely didn't want to repeat myself on the full length, that being said, it's not entirely dissimilar from the demo. The album comes in at around 46 minutes long, and there's grindcore, folk, and dissonant passages littered throughout the whole thing.
Drums are human for this one, went into Shaun with a session player and smashed them out, then did bass, vocals, and guitar re-works shortly after. Drummer wishes to remain nameless for the album in this case.
Have a few copies of the first demo on cassette left, if you're after one, chuck me a PM and I'll send one down to you.
Cheers
In celebration of Bealtaine, you can stream a new track from the upcoming ChapelFlames album, Uaigheanna Gan Mharcáil.

Cassette pre-orders still available via http://www.folkvangrrecords.com/
The pyre still burns!
Good stuff! I found it more interesting than the demo.
Will there be a line-up for gigs or is it going to remain a studio project?

Thanks, I definitely wanted to kick it up a notch with the new release.
I think, for now, this will remain a studio project, I would rather focus my time on making new music, rather than showing other musicians how to play the songs. I've already got several new personal projects lined up, but I definitely wouldn't say no to the prospect of working with other musicians in Ireland.

Listening to this at the minute. Some highly creative riffage. It kind of reminds me of parts of IX Equilibrium in that melodic but off- kilter sort of buzz. I'll order a tape on payday.
