I liked the few songs I'd heard, and I frequently saw them referenced while exploring similar artists. Yet their lack of output kept me at a distance; as I expanded my taste for folk metal, I didn't want to fall in love with a band that had little to no appetite to get in the studio.1 For Cnoc an Tursa, you can lay aside your concerns, because they're back after a nine-year wait to unveil third full-length A Cry for the Slain. This new opus perpetuates what Cnoc an Tursa has been doing since the band formed twenty years ago-writing blackened folk bangers fraught with grace, passion, and depth. After a prolonged absence, though, it becomes more and more difficult to bounce back if expectations outpace reality's limitations. So, given the intervening years, does A Cry for the Slain elicit tears of joy or sorrow?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Na Fir Ghorma \u003cbr\u003e1.2 The Caoineag \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Cailleach and the Guardians of the Seven Stones \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Baobhan Sith \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Am Fear Liath MÒR \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Alba in My Heart \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Address to the Devil \u003cbr\u003e1.8 The Nine Maidens of Dundee\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Cnoc an Tursa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42825241264199,"sku":"46156938","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/4507786-3590802.jpg?v=1779878882","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/cnoc-an-tursa-cry-for-the-slain-compact-discs","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
