CRUACHAN: New Studio Photos Posted Online

January 30, 2006

Irish folk metal band CRUACHAN entered Sun Studios in Dublin on January 17 to begin recording their fifth album, tentatively due later in the year via Greece's Black Lotus Records. Check out pictures from the recording sessions at this location.

CRUACHAN recorded their previous albums "Tuatha Na Gael", "The Middle Kingdom" and "Folklore" at Sun, which "has been hugely upgraded since we were last there," the band write on their web site. Taking care of production duties is Jo Peeters (a.k.a. GAIL OF GOD) from Holland.

CRUACHAN's upcoming album will be their first CD for Black Lotus, with whom they inked a deal in June 2005. The band's final release for their previous label, Karmageddon Media, was scheduled to be a reissue of their 1994 "Celtica" demo, featuring unreleased tracks, including "Timmy", which has been performed live at quite a few CRUACHAN shows.

CRUACHAN's fourth full-length album, "Pagan", was recorded and mixed at Radio Na Life Studios in Dublin, Ireland with producer Al Cowen and is the follow-up to 2002's "Folk-Lore". The cover artwork for "Pagan" was created by John Howe, the leading JRR Tolkien illustrator and the conceptual artist from the "Lord of the Rings" movies.
