I find myself lost for words
at the moment, because I’m sitting here with Mael Mordha’s
brand new release and even after maybe 20 listens… I still don’t
know what to think about it.
Mael Mordha
is an Irish Metal band blending Doom Metal with
Gaelic music. This brand new release is entitled “Gealtacht Mael
Mordha” and deals with the thoughts that ran through King Mael
Mórdha’s head in the lead-up to, and during the battle up to the
moment of his death.
This CD last for about 44
minutes but to me it seems like it goes on forever. The music is
heavy and it should be…it is Doom Metal… and the songs are really
not that bad, I just find them only a little above average. But I
still find myself somewhere between heaven and hell because I like
it… but the songs are not that memorable and then again… this album
wins a little with every spin.
Well… I know that this
review is confusing, but I am confused. I think you have to
make up your own mind about this album. This is Doom Metal with an
Irish Folk music edge, spiced with a good production and a great
cover artwork.
The release date in Germany
is March 16th 2007 and the international release date is March 19th
2007, so go and check it out when this album hit the stores.
The end of a very confusing
review.
