Mael_Mordha-Cluain_Tarbh-Reissue-2008-GRAVEWISH

This is a Reissue I really enjoy posting about. I never could get my hands on this record, because the import costs where way out of a fair amount. I only know their newer piece of art 'Gealtacht Mael Mórdha' from 2007. However, Cluain Tarbh was originally released 2005. Mael Mordha also released a split ep with Primordial, which they eventually could be compared with, albeit Mael Mordha play Celtic Doom/Death instead of Celtic/Folk/Black.
From MetalArchives:
"Cluain Tarbh is about the lead up and aftermath of that most famous of battles
fought at Cluain Tarbh - Clontarf (Meadow of Bulls) on Good Friday 1014 between
the then high king of Éire, Brian Boru and the king of Leinster, Mael Mórdha."

Hackneyed-Death_Prevails-(Advance)-2008-FNT

'Nuclear Blast recruiting Kiddies now?' could be the right question, considering that
the youngest member of this band is 14 years old (and he's the guitarist). Yeah, raw, but put that aspect apart cause they don't play some dull 100x copied Metalcore but rather a pretty good mix between Death with some Grind influences. Worth a listen!

Nachtmystium-Assassins_Black_Meddle_Pt_1-2008-FNT

Fnt has released the new record by US. (ex-) Black Metal band Nachtmystium.

" - Assassins: Black Meddle Pt. 1; Recording will begin in December 2007 with the projected release date set for the first quarter of 2008. The album will be a departure from their black metal sound, exploring dark psychedelia and atmosphere. The name of the album is a reference to their Pink Floyd influences."

I haven´t heard the new record yet, but I hope they dont fuck things up!

At least they still got an impressive lineup consisting of Members from Goatwhore, Twillight (U.S.) and of course the incredible Tony Laureano on drums :)
