Background information about 'Storm Before Calm'

Primordial delivers an absolutely crushing masterpiece with "Storm Before Calm", their eighth studio offering that stands as testament to why these Irish legends remain untouchable in the realm of Celtic black metal. This is the band at their most refined and devastating, weaving together crushing doom passages with their signature pagan grandeur that'll leave you breathless and craving more.

From the opening salvo of "The Heretic's Age" to the epic closer "Hosting Of The Sidhe", Primordial crafts an emotional journey through darkness and light that feels both ancient and urgently contemporary. A.A. Nemtheanga's vocals have never sounded more commanding, shifting from haunting whispers to battle-ready roars that could wake the dead. The guitar work is absolutely phenomenal, with Ciáran MacUiliam and Micheál O'Floinn creating landscapes that are both beautiful and terrifying. "Sons Of The Morrigan" alone is worth the price of admission – an eight-minute epic that showcases everything that makes this band essential listening.

Bathory, Moonsorrow, Agalloch, Drudkh, Emperor
