Scotland's duo Hand Of Kalliach has returned with a new recording which shows the music going for a Celtic form of folk metal with elements of melodic death metal and this is a review of their 2024 album "Corryvreckan" which will be released in February by Prosthetic Records.
Nature sounds start off the album along with some clear vocals a few seconds later while synths are introduced onto the recording a few seconds later which also mixes in with the heavier sections of the music as well as the solos and leads also being done in a very melodic style and the harsh vocals add in a mixture of death metal growls and black metal screams.
Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing while all of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them. At times the music also gets very progressive sounding while the songs also add in a lot of touches of Scottish folk music, when guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style and most of the tracks stick to a mid tempo direction.
On this recording Hand Of Kalliach takes their Celtic folk metal style into more of a modern, melodic and progressive direction. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are inspired by an ancient Irish text "Cormac's Glossary".
In my opinion this is another great sounding album from Hand Of Kalliach and if you are a fan of Celtic folk metal, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Three Seas" "Cirein-croin" "Unbroken You Remain" and "Of Twilight And The Pyre". 8 out of 10/.
