September 19, 2005

Irish folk metal band CRUACHAN will embark on a Russian tour in late October/early November. Confirmed dates are as follows:

Oct. 28 - St. Petersburg, RUS @ Club Arctica
Oct. 29 – Yaroslavl, RUS @ Club Partizan
Oct. 30 – Moscow, RUS @ Club B-2
Nov. 01 – Volgograd, RUS @ Center House Art
Nov. 02 – Voronegh, RUS @ Club 100 Streams

CRUACHAN recently inked a deal with Greece's Black Lotus Records. The band are currently working on songs for their as-yet-untitled new album, to be recorded in January 2006. Martin Walkyier (ex-SKYCLAD) will also join them as guest vocalist on one song. New songtitles include "Diarmuid and Grainne", "The Well Below the Valley", "Ungoliant" and "Shelob".

CRUACHAN's final release for their previous label, Karmageddon Media, will 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 are continuing to tour in support of their fourth full-length album, "Pagan", which was released through Karmageddon Media. "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.
