I suppose the album isn't really bad, it has its merits. But it's not really good either, and I'm sure you'll all agree that not really good either just doesn't cut it anymore. Some of their solos are really good, I'll give the Irishmen that, also infusing their thrash with a little bit of folk is interesting, but it's not enough and it certainly doesn't make up for the lack of memorable songwriting.
The band has a couple of good ideas and their musicianship isn't very off either, so I don't have difficulties believing that they could pull their act together and release a good album. But they'll definitely have to step it up a notch for something like that to happen.

Thrash  Yes, it has some slight thrash bits in it, but also some slight folk/pagan parts. But not enough thrash t warrant it thrash. ell, even Death Magnetic is more thrash than this.  This is just mid tempo chugging standard heavy metal 99% of the time. Btw, your 5.7 is quite generous considering the guitar work is alo very shoddy, nothing solid about the guitar playing at all.

Sorry man, but Marcel's right about this one. This is nowhere near thrash. Just sub-par heavy metal with a failed attempt at a folk-ish songwriting.

Man, the cover had me expecting some folk/black metal.... oh well, even the name of the album is misleading!!!
