Cruachan - The Ghost (Official Lyric Video)

IRISH FOLK METAL / PAGAN METAL The Ghost is lyrically a very simple song but packs a huge and moving message. The ghost in the song is a child that died at the hands of the nuns in some dark mother and baby home in Ireland. You can see the confusion and anger, why did the child die? Why did so many die at the hands of these monsters for so long? The story continues in our other song The Crow which has an official music video release so check that out! We were delighted to have Vreth from Finntroll as a feature vocalist on this song, combined with Keith’s vocals there is a lot of vocal variation here. The song itself is one of our more extreme songs on The Living and the Dead, lots of death metal and heavy thrash metal throughout, it’s a real mashup of genres and styles all under the umbrella of Cruachan’s classic style of Folk Metal. // Cruachan More about: Ireland’s Cruachan have enjoyed a storied career since they took those tentative first steps back in 1992.
