Celtic Legacy- The Lie Of The Land (Eternal Legacy Records)
"The Lie of the Land" is the fourth album of Celtic Legacy, a heavy/folk metal band from Ireland. Although this was initially pegged as a solo release from Dave Morrissey, as the band had disbanded since 2009, it was eventually developed into the fourth full length record by Celtic Legacy, with the addition of vocalist Ciarán Ennis.
This album is a exquisite blend of classic heavy metal music with Irish folk undertones, which while not apparent throughout the record, give it a genuine feel and set it apart from other records of the same sub-genre. Some of the highlights of the record include the single "My People" and the song from which the album took its name "The Lie of the land". The band has since not released anything else and there are no news regarding its future, which given the state of the line-up does not seem to bode too well. Let's hope we will hear some new music from them soon!
94/100
