   │  After his musical setting of "Aucassin et Nicolette", a classic work  │
   │  of French literature dating back to 1225, The unique band Gae Bolg    │
   │  is well known for years and some of their older work is legendary.    │
   │  Gae Bolg blends medieval sounds with bombastic and martial elements.  │
   │  This new album Requiem is a mass for the dead and dedicated to        │
   │  passed away relatives and friends of the bandÆs mastermind Eric       │
   │  Roger.                                                                │
   │  Requiem is rather tranquil and serene in comparison with some older   │
   │  records. Still there is a lot of tension and suspense in the music.   │
   │  Orchestral elements dominate the sound but the real pounding and      │
   │  bombastic tracks are sparse. A track like æTotentanzÆ is one of the   │
   │  few exceptions and is a very powerful dance tune.                     │
   │  If you have heard the sound of Gae Bolg and have (some of) the        │
   │  albums there will be no real surprises. Requiem is a worthy release   │
   │  by the band and will please the fans of the genre without a doubt.    │
   │                                                                        │
   │  EXTRA NOTE: most of these tracks are in Latin. I don't see a tag for  │
   │  that, so I'm going with the second most used language on that CD;     │
   │  French. Enjoy a goddamn GREAT album.                                  │
   │  Also tagged as FOLK, because it actually is.                          │
   │                                                                        │
