13 Years of Celtic Warrior Tunes (SPV)
by Scott Hefflon

Funny: 15 years deep and a quick Google search lets me know no one else has ever heard of this band either. This is a CD/DVD package, which is expensive for a band no one’s heard of, yet most are asking “why haven’t I, until now?” Celtic metal (duh, check the title) in full swing, with chugs and fire-dancing, plus solos and thundering drums. They’ve surely influenced such folk metal bands as Finntroll and Korpiklaani, and while I hate to favor the offspring over the forefather, those two make it more fun. Great stuff here, no doubt, but pretty dated-feeling. An important archival/historical release, how’s that?
