Coscradh - Carving the Causeway to the Otherworld LP (color vinyl)

Like a black wind rising off peatlands long left to silence, Ireland’s Coscradh unearth their second album ‘Carving the Causeway to the Otherworld’, wrenching up the bog-roads of the dead through dread sorcery. An invocation of deep-rooted heritage and ancient mysticism the album resurrects the three-thousand-year-old oaken pathways raised by warring tribes under the cold eye of the druid, toward the realm beyond life, and conjuring these vanished labors with the memory of violence itself.

Channeling the druid as both astronomer and war-seer, Coscradh invokes Mars as the god whose red light demands sacrifice, revealing Gaelic warriors hollowing themselves into vessels and letting the fury of Goac enter and devour them for battle. Guitars flare and burn like meteors knifing the horizon, letting loose riffs rusted with ancestral power. The blistering percussive onslaught crashes like hooves on dead earth as the band’s savage ferocity erupts like a war-cry cast into the heavens, crowned in ruinous splendor. Coscradh fully inhabits this domain between worlds, breathing into their work the fury and spiritual force of a people who carved truths into land, sky and grave.
