The concept album was inspired by the ancient Celtic and Nordic
mythologies about death and rebirth into the afterlife. It is called
“Aes Sidhe”, which in Irish means “people of the mound” or spirits,
ancestors or people who have passed over. The ancient Irish buried their
dead in a mound, which symbolized the pregnant belly of the goddess,
who would rebirth the dead into the otherworld. This album explores the
ancient view of the dying process, the darkness in between when one
awaited rebirth and then the various parts of the afterlife, called by
many names and envisioned in a variety of ways, from the land of youth
“Tír na nÓg” to the land of honey “Mag Mell”. There is even a tribute to
Tolkien’s reimagining of Nordic and Celtic mythological afterlives, in
the “Grey Havens” song. Tracklist: 1. Fall from Tír na nÓg 02:23 2. Cŵn Annwn 02:59 3. Völva 06:21 4. Himmelstraße (feat. Sera Timms) 03:45 5. A Pause (feat. Xasthur) 02:33 6.
