‘The Witch’, the fourth and last single from Irish folk-metal pioneers Cruachan before the upcoming album ‘The Living and the Dead’ March 24th. It's a wonderful blend of the band’s hardest metal riffs and hauntingly beautiful folk and traditional instruments. 

Keith Fay about the new song: 
"The Witch is a very unique song on the album and probably not what people will be expecting. Lyrically, I wanted to tell a story of a modern pagan witch that represents modern independent women, you could call this song our feminist anthem and we really hope that our female fans will feel empowered by the song and the lyrics. Musically we had a really fun time with this, I wanted something very different and so, we paid homage to the Irish legends Thin Lizzy. It's still very Cruachan but you can hear the Thin Lizzy vibes throughout the song. Finally, I thought this song needs a big, old school guitar solo and who better to do this than our very special guest - Venom's Stu 'La Rage' Dixon. All of this combines into a really fun and stand out song!"

From the opening blast of 'The Living' to the final lament of 'The Dead', the Living and the Dead is everything you want from Cruachan and more. 12 tracks of Blistering riffs, magnificent melodies, and bewitchment.’ - Stu 'La Rage' Dixon / Venom
 
Ireland’s Cruachan have enjoyed a storied career since they took those tentative first steps back in 1992. As frontman and sole original member Keith Fay elaborates; ‘When I started writing music as a 13-year-old, I had no idea that I was laying the foundations for what would become a brand-new genre, Folk Metal, or that I was planting the seeds of what would be one of the longest running Irish metal bands in history. There have been many ups and downs over the last thirty years, band members have come and gone, record deals have come and gone. We've played some of the biggest metal festivals on the planet, travelled to more countries than most Irish bands would ever dream possible. And it has all led to this - our ninth album, 'The Living and the Dead'.’
