These two bands recently got together to play an awesome gig in the heart of cork city. Drawing fans from throughout Ireland, here is once again proof of the quality of Irish Metal.
Waylander, are a northern Ireland based band.
“Formed in 1993, WAYLANDER released their debut demo, Once Upon An Era, in early 1995. Mixing Irish folk music with extreme Metal, Waylander were soon dubbed Folk, Celtic and Pagan Metal.” (from their official Myspace)
Mary Harney Must Die, are a cork based band.
They “(Play) their own brand of instrumental rock, they dedicate themselves to the never ending death of Mary Harney.” (from their official Bebo)
Gig Review by Taidgh Lynch
There were four bands there, Mary Harney Must Die, Saviours of sin, 7scars (75cars) and Waylander. MHMD had some new material - was there for that band mainly - one of the best performances i think i have seen from them and their new song is wicked. The other two bands were decent enough - played a lot of covers though.
I’m not really into the type of music that Waylander played - it was music not to take too seriously - it was great moshing and head banging music though. Definitely sounded much better than their myspace music for sure - even the sound was more superior on the night. Overall it was a good nite.
