Carrion Crows Over Camlan, the upcoming debut album of British pagan metal band The Wolves Of Avalon, will be released in April through Godreah Records.
The Wolves Of Avalon is the new project of The Meads Of Asphodel mainman Metatron. Not wanting to take the Meads into the pagan metal realms, the birth of The Wolves of Avalon, was always going to happen. The Wolves of Avalon is an embodiment of ancient British spirit and pride and not to be confused with any modern interpretation of things long since buried by time and dust. By drafting in JM to create the music and traditional instrumentalist from other bands, Metatron's vision has finally come to life.
The Wolves of Avalon features guest appearances by Rob Darken (Graveland), Verst (Instinct), Roibéard Ó Bogail (Mael Mórdha), Magnus O. Wohlfart (Yggdrasil), Petra Jadrná (Cruadalach), Arvid Vermote (Krigavar), and Rob Wakefield (Aurora-Project).
The music can be termed, Celtic Pagan Metal that simmers in a doleful, almost tragic atmosphere with sporadic up tempo sections to shed light on the Dark Age tale that writhes within. The concept is of the British Celtic Arthurian age much maligned by exaggerated myths and erroneous histories of Britain. The album reflects a period around 500 AD, that existed after the Romans were recalled to defend their homeland from the Barbarian migrations, the same land hungry hordes that were to engulf the warriors and tribes of Britain. This was the era of the Germanic and British wars, and the Arthurian defence of our sacred soil that was to end in defeat at Camlan. The main essence of the lyrical concept is the great victory over the Germanic invaders, at The Battle of Baddon Hill around 500 AD, [also known as Mons Badonicus] Baddon Hill was the great Victory that this album surmounts. This was when the British Celts defeated the Germanic Saxons in the last great Celtic age of heroes. It is ironic to think the Saxons and their fellow invaders, the Angles and Jutes would soon after amalgamate into what would be termed as the England. [Angle land]. This album celebrates the old British pride, the old Gods and the great tribes prior to the alien Germanic incursions. This is an album dedicated to our Pagan ancestors.

It's only been 6 months since Damascus Steel was released, but the band are currently finishing the recording of a new MCD titled "In the name of God, Welcome to Planet Genocide".
The current tracklisting is as follows:
1. Psalm 364
2. My Beautiful Genocide
3. A Baptism in the Warm Piss of Slaughtered Children
4. The Man Who Killed For God
5. Hell on Earth / Blood Runs Red (Discharge cover medley)
6. Aborted Stygian Foetus
Metatron says:
"The concept of genocide on this release is a conclusion to the 'Damasus Steel' album (2005) and will continue the blood letting and artery severing lyrics in preparation for the next album to be titled 'The Passion and Death of Ieosus'. This will be a concept album detailing the life and feath of the Jewish Rabbi, Yeshua - his humanity, zealot connections, arrest and crucifixion and his ultimate deification by the lies and growth of the Holy Roman Empire (which itself was a grotesque chil of the Roman Empire whose inhumanity is reflected in today's world.) No change there then!"
The MCD has an initial release date of June on Firestorm Records, but more details will follow soon.
