		Cruachan signed to this label in early '94, the main reason being the freedom that the label gave which suited the free souls of the band.
		Cruachan played live often in the period '95 to '97 and as with their music, their live shows are unique also, with a true Celtic taste — dressed in historically accurate Celtic dress with war-banners etc. (when the venue allows!) The reaction to live shows has been excellent.
		Cruachan continued writing and playing, not only to rock/heavy metal audiences but in Celtic festivals and with internationally renowned acts to a variety of people, but alas, in mid '97 Cruachan called it a day for various personal reasons.

	Cruachan (band) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cruachan is the name of an Irish Celtic metal band founded in 1992 by Keith Fay after the end of Minas Tirith which existed since 1989.
		Cruachan probably took their name from the ancient city of the same name, which was the capital of the old Irish kingdom of Connacht.
		Cruachan's lyrics also contain frequent references to the Viking Age, the Viking invasions of Ireland, and the defeat of the Dublin Vikings at the Battle of Clontarf by Brian Boru.

		Cruachan played live often in the period 95' to 97' and as with their music, their live shows are unique also, with a true Celtic taste - dressed in historically accurate Celtic dress with war-banners etc. (when the venue allows!!) The reaction to live shows has been excellent.
		Cruachan continued writing and playing, not only to rock /heavy metal audiences but in Celtic festivals and with internationally renowned acts to a variety of people, but alas, in mid 97' Cruachan called it a day for various personal reasons.
		Cruachan combine modern rock /metal with traditional Irish music, but there is a lot more to them than just that: elaborate classical pieces, ancient medieval tunes etc. They also use real instruments rather than relying solely on a keyboard or sampler.

		Cruachan are not one of the bands that you can easily forget though...
		This time the offer Cruachan received was far better and the band entered the studio and recorded their second album "The Middle Kingdom".
		Cruachan are modern day storytellers, and that is what makes all the difference and adds to the whole feeling that "Pagan" is trying to convey.

		This makes Cruachan the only Munro which is worth going into as well as climbing.
		Stob Diamh is the rounded hump on the left, then the cliffs of Drochaid Glas immediately in front of Cruachan itself, and Stob Dearg (the Taynuilt Peak) furthest to the right.

	THE METAL OBSERVER - Review - CRUACHAN - Pagan
		Some of the guests quickly drink out their Guinness and take their heels, but the others listen with rapt attention and internalize the symbiosis of different kinds of music.
		CRUACHAN are not truly new and keep track of their self-willed style over one decade.
		But also straight Metal with feminine vocals, that invites to join in singing and banging the heads, is to find on the CD (like "1000 Years").

	Cruachan - Free Music Downloads, Videos, Lyrics, CDs, MP3s, Bio, Merchandise and Links
		Ireland's Cruachan isn't the world's first, nor the world's only "folk metal" band (other well known acts being Finland's Amorphis and England's Skyclad, to name but two), but they have arguably gone to the greatest lengths of anyone in their attempts to expand this still largely unexplored subgenre.
		Also known to use traditional instrumentation, on occasion, to carry out this mission, the band released their first effort, Tuatha Na Gael, independently in 1995, but broke up a couple of years later after lengthy negotiations failed to yield a deal with Century Media Records.
		But Cruachan eventually decided to re-form and, after retooling their lineup with new arrivals Joe Farrell (drums) and, lending greater flexibility to their sound, vocalist/percussionist Karen Gilligan, they signed a new deal with Hammerheart Records.

	Harvest Moon Music - Interview with Keith fay of Cruachan
		Mainly he could not commit 100% of the time required for Cruachan and would miss rehearsals etc. touring was also a problem so it was best for him to leave.
		He is still involved with the band and will be involved with the new album on flute and tin whistle as well as artwork so he has not fully left the band.
		Cruachan and Primordial are probably the biggest Irish bands but if we could become that little bit bigger, and draw more attention to Ireland it would help immensely.

		Cruachan are an optimal Irish Celtic Metal band, named after the ancient capital of the Irish kingdom of Connacht, and seat of Ailill and Medb (Queen Maeve) in the Ulster Cycle of Irish mythology.
		The idea of Cruachan was born from his passion for Celtic music, history and mythology, which he and along with fellow founding band members, John Fay and John Clohessy all wished to blend into their music and lyrics, in a way which had never been done with Celtic music prior.
		Next, another sad song of tragedy and memorium, which seems to be Cruachan’s true raison d’etre, is to be found in “Susie Moran”, a remarkable Irish woman and grandmother to the founding brothers of Cruachan.

		For those unfortunate people that have not heard Cruachan yet, they are a folk metal band from Ireland that has a metal sound leaning everywhere from a more traditional metal sound to a raw fl metal sound.
		I hope that means he will at least play as a guest on future Cruachan albums, because he is probably the most talented folk musician I've heard in terms of traditional wind instruments.
		I don't think I'd ever like to see Cruachan stray too far from the Irish themes, but it is nice when they throw a non-Irish song or two on their albums.

	Cruachan, The Middle Kingdom (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		As I listened, I was intrigued and impressed both by the quality of the musicianship as well as the unique way the two disciplines of traditional Celtic music and storytelling was melded with heavy metal percussion and attitude.
		Cruachan simply made the shift to metal percussion and guitars to amplify that rage.
		I wouldn't necessarily recommend The Middle Kingdom to those listeners out there who prefer their music traditional, but for anyone who's adventurous and appreciates both the Chieftains and Nine Inch Nails, this album would be a fun and welcome addition to an eclectic collection.

	Cruachan \| Interview \| Lords Of Metal metal E-zine - Issue 14: maart 2002 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Cruachan was first active from 1992 until 1997, and in that time the band released one demo (1993), one full-length album ('Tuatha na Gael') in 1995 and a four track promo in 1997, but after that promo the band called it quits
		The thing with the Irish crowd is that nearly everybody is an a band, so sometimes it goes like: 'Oh, here's Cruachan, and I'm jealous because they're signed to a record label blablabla..', they go with a kind of scornful attitude to our gigs.
		I suppose if you were just playing Metal all of your life, and suddenly want to try and write a Cruachan like song, it would be hard.
