Joy Shannon has released the video for her collaboration with Jessica Way titled ‘Cailleach’ taken from the album “An Chailleach”!
“Taking its name from the Irish for the crone goddess, this song imagines a conversation with this oft misunderstood deity of the dark times of the year. Featuring backing vocals and guitars by metal artist Jessica Way of the bands Worm Ouroboros and Lachrymarum. The song ‘Cailleach’ calls out questions of the unknowns, like “witch, which way will the storm blow?”, into the mists of the haunting other worlds.
The video features a witch’s circle, dancing through the dark, calling in the light, from the goddess of the winter darkness. We wear masks and costumes, inspired by the animals associated with the Cailleach goddess, especially that of the owl, who she was believed to shapeshift into. Our costumes were inspired by the shamanic ritual past of Ireland, where it was believed that druids could shapeshift from human to animal, just like the gods and goddess they believed in.”
Finally Nachtmahr have released the video for Keine Lieder taken from their recently released album ‘Verboten’.
