    One-man atmospheric black metal project, Ruadh, return with their sophomore album entitled ‘The Rock of the Clyde’ There will be six tracks of epic, Scottish, atmospheric black metal with folk elements throughout. ‘The Rock of the Clyde’ is an evolution from their debut album ‘Sovereign’. It has a much more melodic feel yet has more visceral elements too. Tom Perrett, hailing from Rutherglen (also known as the red glen) in the central belt of Scotland looks to forge a sound akin to the classics he has always enjoyed such as Bathory, Burzum, Windir and Emperor. Ruadh’s sound will also appeal to fans of newer atmospheric black metal bands such as Saor, Winterfylleth and Panopticon. ‘The Rock of the Clyde’ contains six tracks that are massive in both scope and scale, taking you through the Iron Ages in Scotland. It also explores the history and mythology of the people of Scotland, conveying both sorrow and uplifting, almost heroic tones.

lyrics

Cold and dark is the forest deep
where souls of the fallen and pride of the nation now sleeps
I hear the pipes are calling
carried by the wind like the leaves in autumn
lost in a drift a powerful sway
like waves crashing to the shore
its stories kept for aeons and its history etched in stone.

Paths now overgrown
retaken by the trees
where our fathers walked
reclaimed by natures growth
seasons pass one to the next our customs wash away
like rain falling from the sky
and all that remains are the stories our elders tell

A sorrow fills my heart as I wander the through woods
A pain is felt within as I walk along the shores
A cold breathe always follows like the ghosts that still remain
Dying to be heard in these empty glens.

Whether by the sword or by the peoples will
A time will come for us to rise again
A crown atop a kings head there will never be but our sons and daughters will be free in the end.

about

Ruadh image

Ruadh Glasgow, UK

RUADH (which is pronounced "Roo-Ah" and translates to "red") is the Atmospheric Black Metal project of Tom Perrett from Glasgow, Scotland.

Tom was born and raised in one of the oldest Burghs in Scotland, which translates to "The red glen". The derivation of the town's name is unclear but one theory is that the area was once a settlement of Reuther, a Scottish king who ruled between 213 &187 BC. ... more
