Waylander: 'Kindred Spirits'

Irish folk metallers Waylander have reveal the title of their upcoming album to be 'Kindred Spirits'. The album was recorded at Stone Circle studio, Lurgan, Co. Armagh, and will be released on July 16th (EU) and August 14th (North America), on Listenable Records.

Overall, 'Kindred Spirits' is an angrier album than previous releases yet retains some of the folk influnced reflection and melancolia of 'Honour Amongst Chaos'.

The lyrical narrative moves from the contentious ['Lamh Dearg'] to the psychological ['Of Fear and Fury'] to the spititual['Twin Fires of Beltíne' and 'A Path Well Trodden'] to the mystical ['Echoes of the Sidhe'] to the hopeless ['Erdath'] to the reflective ['Giant's Grave']. The underlying theme on this album being, that which unites us.

1. Echoes of the Sidhe
