The Tribes of Witching Souls

Released in 2019, The Tribes of Witching Souls serves as a significant bridge in Tuatha de Danann's discography, marking their first substantial release after a period of relative silence. While technically an EP, its nine tracks offer a comprehensive look at the band's evolution. It features brand new compositions like the title track and 'Warrior Queen' alongside re-imagined versions of fan favorites. The production leans heavily into analog warmth, emphasizing the organic interplay between the flute, mandolin, and distorted guitars. This release solidified their status as the premier South American folk metal act, demonstrating that their 'Celtic' sound had matured into something uniquely their own, blending Brazilian rhythmic sensibilities with European mythological themes. The inclusion of 2004 demos and instrumental versions provides a historical context that makes this a definitive document for collectors and new fans alike.
