Beithíoch: new album news and preview track
News from Beithíoch.
Alot of people I know will still be getting their heads around Aisling Dhorcha, for the rest of the world though I’m happy to announce that more Beithíoch is immanent.
“An Sealgaire” is a short-form work part of a two-album set. Its in the droney, ambient, instrumental metal format of pieces like “Battle Fury”, “Tragic Hero” and “The Great Beast” from Díolaim and a shade nearer maybe to “Arm Na Déithe” than the other pieces on Aisling Dhorcha.
Overall sound will be a bit sleaker, sharper (by Beithíoch standards) and conceptually its more obscurantist and abstract than the first two albums (as I hope is hinted by the visual artwork you can now see on the myspace page and on Hiarctow.com). In my opinion, its the most quintessentially Beithíoch work of all so far, nearer the ethos laid out from the begining than anything preceding or following it.
The second album of this set is almost complete also, but I’ll say no more about it for now. I need only to make a few tweaks to An Sealgaire and I’ll have it available for download soon.
In the mean time, I’ve put an mp3 up on the myspace as a preview, “Ceo Dearg”.
