featuring Alan Nemtheanga A. (primordial)
RAW AND POWERFUL
This is music that is unique, raw and very powerful. The blend of melodic bagpipes, racing drums, and aggressive growling vocals makes this so undisputedly different—pagan music with metal and much more. Combining so many elements is incredible and makes for such a great listening experience.

I have never been a fan of bagpipes, but the way Corvus Corax uses them is different and makes it a pleasure to listen to.

Excellent listening, and despite the bagpipes, they are German, not Scottish.

UNIQUE

With their second single, the Middle-Irish "Na láma-sa" Corvus Corax show another fascinating facet of their metal project Corvus Corax "Era Metallum" and another exciting collaboration with guests from the metal scene. 

The epic bagpipe melody is carried by slow, almost doomy guitar riffs from the fingers of Sami Yli-Sirniö (Kreator, Waltari) over the endless, moving landscape of Ireland and at the end, everything goes up in a goosebump causing a thunderstorm. The Middle-Irish lyrics, a requiem from the 10th century, could not be interpreted more fittingly by any guest than Alan Nemtheanga A., who with his band Primordial is widely acclaimed as an icon of "Celtic Metal". The Irish metal singer gladly accepted the challenge to interpret the song in the language of his ancestors. In doing so, he draws an ingenious bow between the music's inherent epicness and a skillfully applied vocal rawness, which gives the work a new and even more deeply digging into the listener's stomach. 

Alan sums up the successful collaboration, "It was a really interesting thing to do. Putting my voice over the music of Corvus Corax felt like a pretty good bond!" From Corvus Corax's perspective, too, the fusion of Alan's vocals and his musical background with what is probably the most atmospherically dense  "Era Metallum" piece fits like a glove. Sláinte, Alan! 

The album "Corvus Corax Era Metallum" will be released on June 24, 2022, as a Limited Edition Double CD and digitally. The vinyl version will be available in stores from September 21, 2022

Mit ihrer zweiten Single zeigen die mittelirischen "Na láma-sa" Corvus Corax eine weitere faszinierende Facette ihres Metallprojekts Corvus Corax "Era Metallum" und eine weitere spannende Zusammenarbeit mit Gästen aus der Metal-Szene.

Die epische Dudelsackmelodie wird von langsamen, fast düsteren Gitarrenriffs von den Fingern von Sami Yli-Sirniö (Kreator, Waltari) über die endlose, sich bewegende Landschaft Irlands getragen und am Ende geht alles in einem Gänsehaut hoch, der ein Gewitter verursacht. Die mittelirischen Texte, ein Requiem aus dem 10. Jahrhundert, könnten von keinem Gast passender interpretiert werden als Alan Nemtheanga A., der mit seiner Band Primordial weithin als Ikone des "Celtic Metal" gefeiert wird. Der irische Metal-Sänger nahm gerne die Herausforderung an, das Lied in der Sprache seiner Vorfahren zu interpretieren. Dabei zieht er eine geniale Verbeugung zwischen der inhärenten Epie der Musik und einer geschickt angewandten stimmlichen Rohheit, die dem Werk ein neues und noch tieferes Graben in den Magen des Zuhörers verleiht.

Alan fasst die erfolgreiche Zusammenarbeit zusammen: "Es war eine wirklich interessante Sache. Meine Stimme über die Musik von Corvus Corax zu stellen, fühlte sich wie eine ziemlich gute Bindung an!" Auch aus der Perspektive von Corvus Corax passt die Verschmelzung von Alans Gesang und seinem musikalischen Hintergrund mit dem wahrscheinlich atmosphärisch dichtesten "Era Metallum"-Stück wie ein Handschuh. Sláinte, Alan!

Das Album "Corvus Corax Era Metallum" wird am 24. Juni 2022 als Limited Edition Double CD und digital veröffentlicht. Die Vinyl-Version wird ab dem 21. September 2022 im Handel erhältlich sein
