Album Notes & Community Reviews

As pioneers of the folk metal genre, the British band seamlessly intertwines driving heavy metal riffs with traditional jigs powered by fiddle and acoustic guitar. Martin Walkyier's sharp, highly literate lyricism attacks contemporary political hypocrisies with cynical, distinctly British wit.
