A Cry for the Slain

Following an eight-year hiatus, Scottish folk/black metal act Cnoc An Tursa's third full-length, 'A Cry for the Slain', continues the band's synthesis of heavy metal with Scottish history and folklore. The album blends blasting black metal tempos with evocative Gaelic melodies and atmospheric keyboards, with lyrical themes drawn from the poetry of Robert Burns and tales of mythological figures. It represents a potent continuation of their established sound, which is deeply rooted in their national heritage.
