Christopher Amazing album from beginning to end, makes me wish I wasn't born in Canada and in Ireland instead. This Hanrahan lad wants to go home... Favorite track: Ó ró sé do Bheatha Abhaile.

czarnibog speaks to my experience breaking ties with Christianity and coming to terms with a series of head**** from faith completely failing to fulfill it's promises Favorite track: Pagan.

grote_smurf Cruachan knows how to surprise the listener with each new release.

imho TLATD is the second best album after Blood For The Blood God.

9/10

P.S.:
The artwork is genius! Favorite track: The Crow.

drag0r Cruachan is the co-founder of Folk Metal alongside with Skyclad, And since back in 1994 with Celtica, each new release is a masterpiece.
The Living and The Dead is no exception to the rule.
Once again, Cruachan renew themselves while keeping the same spirit and it's wonderful.

Finding the right mix between Irish traditionnal music and aggressive black metal is a hard task. Here they add some heavy metal and classical music to that blend and once again it's a perfect mix.
F*cking masterpiece.
